The most beautiful kid-friendly hotels for winter
Because snow vacations are even more enjoyable when they’re enjoyed by all, here’s a selection of kid-friendly winter hotels where each generation can enjoy the season at its own pace.
1. Les Fermes de Marie | One of the most beautiful kid-friendly hotels for winter
In Megève, there's an address that has become an institution since it opened in 1989: Les Fermes de Marie, a 5-star pioneer of alpine luxury and a forerunner in the art of welcoming families. Conceived as an authentic mountain hamlet, with centuries-old chalets, old frames, the scent of wood and open fires, this family resort embodies the vision of Les Maisons Sibuet: warm, lively luxury, where each generation naturally finds its place. Set in 2 hectares of parkland, just 500 metres from the village, the kid-friendly winter hotel enjoys an exceptional location, both close to the center and open to the Alpine countryside.
A four-season destination par excellence, Les Fermes de Marie offers an infinite number of family adventures: skiing on the vast Évasion ski area, mountain biking on snow, snowshoe trekking and snow golf at Mont-d'Arbois in winter, while electric mountain biking, hiking, rafting, canyoning, flying over Mont-Blanc and horse-drawn carriage rides are back in season. The hotel's shuttle bus takes guests to the Chamois gondola in just a few minutes, making it easy to take children out on the snow to the huge Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area.
The reason why families love this resort so much is its kid-friendly approach, which is unique in France. The resort has created its own world for the very young, with a dedicated Kids Concierge on hand throughout the school vacations to lead games, workshops and activities. Le Hameau des Enfants, a real miniature chalet designed for the imagination, welcomes the little ones, while in winter the Alpage des Fermes becomes their high-altitude playground. In the evening, the Table des Enfants offers a supervised dinner, allowing parents to enjoy time together.
The 70 rooms, suites and chalets feature a refined Alpine style: old woods, traditional textiles, soft tones and clean lines. Tribes can easily find their ideal configuration: Duplex Famille (50 m², up to 5 people), Suite Rochebrune nestled in a stone tower, Suite Rochebrune for 2 adults and 2 children, Chalet du Skieur (140 m², 6 people) or the impressive Chalet Chatel (250 m², up to 10 people), all with 5-star hotel services.
On the dining side, several restaurants punctuate the stay: Le Restaurant des Fermes, elegant local cuisine; Le Carnotzet, with its rustic atmosphere; L'Alpage des Fermes, exclusive table d'hôtes; not forgetting Le Vieux Megève, Le Relais Mont-Blanc and Le Relais des Fermes in the village. The afternoon tea, a cult moment at Les Fermes, brings families and gourmands together around home-made pastries. The Spa Pure Altitude (1,000 m²) completes the experience, with indoor pool, swim lane, Jacuzzis, Japanese bath, dry and wet sauna, hammam, 13 treatment rooms, relaxation room and Technogym fitness center.

2. La Voie Lactée, La Mongie | A vintage-style refuge for families
This Pyrenean hotel, in the heart of the resort of La Mongie, revisits the spirit of the family boutique-hotel with a vintage touch that speaks to children and parents alike. Clinging to an altitude of 1,800 metres, this 4-star hotel faces the Pic du Midi and invites you to raise your eyes to the sky: from the large windows, you can observe the stars without leaving your bed. Renovated with rare care by owners Nathalie and Philippe Lours, the hotel gives pride of place to local craftsmen and noble materials. The rooms are real cocoons, with a mix of antique furniture, Pyrenean wool and small details that make a real impact. At the end of the day, families gather by the fireplace, take a dip in the Nordic baths or enjoy the breathtaking panoramas. A magical interlude to experience the mountains in a different way.
