Family ski holidays - Hautes-Pyrénées style

Family ski holidays at Saint-Lary Soulan offer more than just snow, clear winter skies and delicious suppers as night falls over the famous Mirabelle run. There's something for family skiers of all ages and abilities in this charming community. Booking a family ski chalet here is the key to great winter sport and a magical immersion in Hautes-Pyrénées life.

Great family ski holidays begin at Chalet Lou Rider

Chalet Lou Rider, located a thrilling 9 km drive, and 800m, above the Aure valley, epitomises the warm welcome, excellent facilities and family-orientation of classic Pyrenean family ski chalets. Little surprise then, that this chalet is highly rated in TripAdvisor and enjoys a loyal following from skiing families who've already discovered its joys:

• 8 rooms accommodate the biggest families.
• Convivial family-style dining makes meals a pleasure.
• B&B, half-board or full-board.
• Any-day arrival and flexible stays make planning family ski holidays easy.
• Convenient car parking simplifies holidays.
• Proximity to the slopes maximises snow time together.

The great location that's essential for your family ski holiday

Perhaps the greatest appeal of Chalet Lou Rider for family skiing holidays is its location at the heart of the area's skiing. With everyone to organise before the day's skiing, the last thing you need is a long drive up from the valley. With just 100m to walk, we're one of the closest family ski chalets to the main lifts in Espiaude. This leaves plenty of time for the kids to devour another Pain au Chocalat before strolling to the lift - and still getting onto the piste first. And for families who haven't skied before, local ski schools ensure an enjoyable introduction to the first of many family ski holidays in France.

Booking a family ski chalet helps the kids' education too!

Ski holidays for families also offer a great opportunity for children to learn - without realising it! Dry 'school French' comes to life around friendly Espiaude, or as the kids make new friends in the télécabine. And when they're skied-out for the day they'll love strapping on snow shoes and exploring Lac de l'Oule, or walking in our glittering winter wonderland.
