    I'd be interested to hear about experience with Family any Irish tour operators packages for Switzerland skiing.

    Is there a preferred destination for Irish skiing in Switzerland?

    I came across Crystal which seem that be a UK operator, experience is fine those folks would also be welcome..

    Thanks Folks.

    Did you get any feedback or have any other feedback. Looking to book a family ski holiday this winter, went skiing in North America last year, but am not familiar with European ski resorts.

    We've gone a few time with crystal. This year we went to Passo Tonale. Two kids - 8 and 4. The crystal childcare in the hotel was excellent. However the 8 year old was a bit too old for it. If you've younger kids then I would definitely recommend it. They brought the 4 year old to ski school morning, then back to hotel for lunch. Afternoon was activities indoors and outside. 8 year was bored so we ended up signing him up to extra ski lessons in the afternoon. Or else he came out on slopes with us.
    Having said all of that, its only available in a few resorts in France and Italy: https://www.crystalski.ie/family-ski-holidays/crystal-childcare/
    So no use if you're looking at switzerland.

    Not sure if they still do this, but you used to be able to book "local" childcare with Crystal. The one time we did this, Crystal managed to completely screw up the booking. We spent the first morning of the holiday sorting it out. So my advice would be not too book any "3rd party" childcare options through Crystal. Instead do some research and book yourself directly.
