In most resorts you will be able to purchase nappies, jar food and formula milk from supermarkets or chemists. However, if you want your child to continue with the same brand then we recommend you do bring your own.

Free car seats will be included when booking a private transfer, however infants must be included in counting the number of seats required.

Alternatively, if you prefer you can take your own child car seat (please advise at time of booking).

Please note: child seats can not be used on our coach transfers

Travel cots with sheets and a blanket are provided in all of our Crystal catered hotels and chalets, but you may want to pack your child's favourite blanket from home!

These will be made up in your room for when you arrive and must be pre-booked at time of booking at £10 per cot in Europe (£30 in North America).

A charge is made locally for cot hire in independant hotels, please ask our Sales team for the approximate daily charge in your chosen hotel.

You are able to pre-book a selection of resort kindergartens which are locally run and have been inspected to ensure that they meet the standards you require.

Independently operated resort kindergarten and ski school services will comply with local regulations. Therefore, we have not inspected these facilities or premises and are unable to guarantee that the level of care provided will suite your requirements. Should you have any queries or wish to make a booking please contact the local tourist office - all contact details are available on request. Hotel crèches and other children's facilities are not operated by Crystal and therefore we have no control over their operation and cannot guarantee the level of care provided will suit your requirements.

• Mobile phone (with international roaming) so you can be contacted at all times whilst on the slopes
• An extra passport photograph of yourselves - this will be attached to your child/rens information form once in resort for collection security
