Micro-Adventure :Winter Vacation in the Mountains with Kids
Pelvoux-Vallouise, a life-size playground
A small resort in the Hautes-Alpes, nestled in the heart of the Écrins National Park, Pelvoux-Vallouise is the perfect place for a winter vacation in the mountains with children. Sliding, playing, marveling: winter is a child’s paradise in Pelvoux-Vallouise.
Skiing: A Sure Bet for a Family Vacation in Pelvoux-Vallouise
Winter in the mountains often begins right on the slopes. In Pelvoux-Vallouise, skiing has been a way of life for over forty years. From the very beginning, the resort has prioritizedaccessible skiing, designed for all ages and skill levels. The vast, gently sloping snow front is ideal for learning to ski.
Here, children can discover the joys of skiing in complete safety. More experienced skiers head up to the summit of the ski area at 2,300 m. From there, they ski down long, varied runs—but not before taking the time to admire the 360° view from the top of the Crête chairlift.
The best thing about the Pelvoux-Vallouise resort: its large, free parking lot at the base of the slopes, which makes life so much easier for parents!
” Skiing is awesome. I glide, I do the snowplow, and I can stop on my own. It’s almost as much fun as sledding!”
Sledding: A Must-Do Activity During Winter Vacations in the Mountains with Kids

Kids run up the hill and race down at full speed. The little ones keep asking for more—they never seem to get tired! The sledding area echoes with children’s laughter, and as we all know, laughter is contagious.

Donkeys and alpacas—as soft as stuffed animals
It’s hard to resist the adorable faces of alpacas. On a walk with Alp’Agaga, children discover how gentle and calm they are—and how amazing their wool is. Led by a lead rope, the alpacas stroll peacefully through the snow, keeping pace with the family.
Donkeys, too, are proving to be a big hit. A visit to the farm offers a chance to discover the benefits of donkey milk.
“This is the first time I’ve seen one. They’re so cute, and I’d love for Grandpa and Grandma to buy one to mow the lawn! They have a big yard at their house…”
