Vaujany activity options for your children...

The great (and cheap) local crèche - for the young ones (6 months to 5 years)

Right in the centre of Vaujany, just below the cable car sits the superb local crèche, used by locals and tourist and loved by all; this well-run local village nursery has established an excellent reputation and is exceptionally good value. Its well-equipped playrooms are full of toys and games to keep even the busiest of little ones entertained. There’s also a ball-park, TV room and a dormitory for taking a nap when required. The highly trained staff speak a reasonable amount of English.

Open Monday through Saturday and available to children from 6 months to 5 years with options for half day or full day participation (9 a.m to 5 p.m), take advantage of this great facility to leave the kids in safe hands secure in the knowledge they ill be well looked after, entertained with numerous indoor and outdoor activities and extremely well fed. There are so many things to do in summer holidays on offer at the crèche and kids love it.

Tariffs vary according to the days and hours you wish to enroll your child, but for the max of 6 days (9 a.m until 5 p.m) including activities and all a hearty lunch the total cost of only €350 is quite phenomenal. All part of what makes Vaujany so special for a French family holiday.

The amazing Kids Club - for older children (6 to 16 years)

For a quite incredible 45 euro for a whole week you can enroll your child in one of the two kids clubs that run Monday through Friday all summer; “Les Randonneurs*” (6-11 year olds) or “Les Alpinistes*” (12-16 year olds). Single days are also possible in case particular activities are of greater appeal.

During the week, the kids will experience a whole host of professionally accompanied activities ranging from tennis, archery, climbing and even visiting cattle herds and sheep flocks with the local shepherds. The list of things to do in summer holidays they have come up with is quite remarkable.

The clubs run daily for five days per week from 8 a.m to 12 p.m and again from 2 p.m until 6 p.m and aim to take full advantage of the range of facilities Vaujany has to offer; nature, the modern swimming and leisure centre, fantastic picnic spots and often include a chance for older kids to experience a night out under the stars. You’ll not regret choosing Vaujany and Ski Peak for your next family holiday in France.
