Family ski trips - When to go to receive child discounts? 

We offer generous child discounts of up to 50% on selected hotel, chalet and Chalet Hotel prices. Discounts apply to one or two children aged 2 to 11 years old, unless otherwise noted, sleeping in extra beds and sharing a room with two full-fare paying passengers. Exact discounts are shown at the bottom of price panels on hotel pages. If you book a ski short break, the discount is halved. Please note that reductions apply to the basic holiday price but not to ski packs or supplements, such as for flights, meals, room facilities or reduced occupancy. If your child requires a cot rather than a bed, your hotelier may ask for an additional charge to be paid directly to the hotel. Some hotels, especially in France, make a nominal charge for meals to children under 2 years old, which you pay direct to the hotelier. Two children receiving a child reduction count as one adult when qualifying for a group discount. If you are staying in one of our chalets or Chalet Hotels, please see page 311 for details of child discounts.
