A magical Christmas in the snow

the 100% family experience

What families love about Christmas

Christmas in Les 7 Laux is guaranteed to be a magical time for young and old alike. Imagine your children hurtling down the snow-covered slopes in the morning, then enjoying a steaming hot chocolate on a sunny terrace facing the peaks. With their cheeks rosy from the fresh air, they then take to the toboggan runs, while you capture these precious moments with the snow-covered fir trees as your backdrop.

As evening falls, the atmosphere becomes even more magical. The traditional torch-lit descents create an unforgettable spectacle for all the family. The resort of Prapoutel is decked out in its finest Christmas decorations, while the smell of mulled wine wafts through the mountain air. It’s this authentic atmosphere, far removed from urban stress, that makes Christmas in Les 7 Laux so magical.

An accessible, warm and authentic Christmas

Les 7 Laux has chosen to remain an accessible destination, even during the festive season. Thanks to the TRIBU PACK and weekly ski passes, you and your children can enjoy more affordable prices. So even those on a tighter budget can enjoy a real Christmas in the mountains.

But affordable doesn’t mean cheap, quite the opposite. We cultivate a true mountain authenticity: local shopkeepers, passionate instructors who take their time with beginners, unspoilt nature… There are no crowds here: just a warm mountain spirit, where families meet at the foot of the pis tes and share their experiences over a hot chocolate. This combination of low prices and friendly atmosphere has made Les 7 Laux a firm favourite with families for generations, especially during the festive season.

Organising your Christmas break

Where to sleep at Christmas? Family-friendly and accessible accommodation

Les 7 Laux offers a wide range of accommodation to suit all family budgets. Tourist residences offer functional flats at the foot of the slopes, perfect for large families who want to cook for themselves and manage their own pace. Accommodation providers often offer attractive discounts for early bookings.

For more conviviality, family chalets allow several families to stay together and share the costs. You’ll also find a number of hotels and holiday clubs offering half-board packages, which are ideal if you want to enjoy your holiday without having to manage the housekeeping, with a warm welcome and reasonable prices.

Our advice: book during the summer to benefit from the best prices and the widest selection. Accommodation close to ski schools is particularly popular with families with young children.
