Alpies Clubs

The Alpies Club is our own Esprit-exclusive fun-packed children's activity club for children between the ages of 3 and 11, available throughout the whole season in Saas Fee, Chamonix, Belle Plagne and Kaprun.

Our Alpies Clubs run for four whole days a week, from 9.30am - 6pm, and include lunch, snacks, drinks, and all the various activities, including all equipment-hire, guides and instructors as appropriate.

As in previous seasons, Monday, Wednesday and Friday are the main activity days, and we also offer a fourth day on Thursday, completely free of charge*. This optional day has proved extremely popular and is mainly club-based, with no major activity involved, giving you the choice of using this fourth day's child care if you wish, or, should you prefer to have a family day out together, knowing that your child is not missing out on any of the key big adventures!

*Not available to children who have not booked the rest of the week in Alpies Club.

The Alpies Club introduces children to the mountains with fun adventurous activities suitable to their age range and abilities. We therefore operate with two age-based sub-divisions within the Clubs to ensure age-appropriate activities for all -

Minis: 3-6 years Maxis: 7-11 years

What's included?

Every week is themed and all the Alpies activities reflect the week's theme, so your children could spend time as pirates, aliens from outer space or super heroes!

The Mini Alpies' activities will range from treasure-hunts, face-painting and paddling-pool fun under the guidance and enthusiasm of our Esprit Alpies Rangers, as well as gentle mountain walks with llamas, husky buggy rides and picnic outings.

The cost for 3 full days in Mini Alpies is £99 per child (4th day FREE!), including all the activities as detailed opposite, plus lunches, all drinks and snacks.

The Maxi Alpies will have their energies tested by additional activities such as rock-climbing, kayaking, mountain-biking and other action-packed fun and games. Where applicable, these activities are led by an experienced mountain guide or instructor, as well as always being accompanied by one of our Alpies Rangers.

The cost for 3 full days in Maxi Alpies is £119 per child (4th day FREE!), including all the activities as detailed opposite, plus lunches, all drinks and snacks.

High tea is taken as part of the Club's day, under our staff's supervision. Parents are then asked to collect their children from the Alpies Club at 6pm.

The Alpies' Weekly Show

At the end of the week, the Alpies Club perform a mini-show to parents, normally held at the club location, based on the week's theme and displaying the artefacts they have created during the week and any songs or routines they have learnt. Although a definite highlight of the week from the children's point of view, this is a very informal, fun event and not to be viewed as a major theatrical performance!
