Val Thorens Nanny & Childcare Services | Merinannies

On the snow your little ones can enjoy sledging at Place Carron in the centre of the resort and for children over the age of five can experience the longest Toboggan in France (accompanied with their nanny). Les Menuires also offer two tobogganing tracks Speed Mountain (for aged five and upwards) and Roc n Bob (for aged seven and upwards) and for small children, our nannies like to take them to the village to go sledging and ride the fairground carousel in Les Bruyeres. For indoor fun, visit the Sports and Aqua Centre for a splash in the pool, enjoy a movie night at Lac Blanc cinema, or take on some competitive (and fun) bowling at Place de L’Arche. Les Menuires has a sports centre with a soft play zone and a swimming pool, and Les Bruyeres holds an ‘aqua fun’ pool for children. The tourist office also arranges themed weeks during school holidays, and a weekly children’s show. For animal lovers, our nannies can take them dog sledding! Plus, there’s ice skating, family-friendly snow parks, and other activities like ice karting, snowshoeing, and snow skating.
