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!
IMPORTANT:
To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend that you pre-book Alpies Club places when booking your holiday.

Husky Buggies This summer version of dogg-sledding, with wheeled buggies replacing the sleds, is a great adventure for all children, who will also have time to make friends with the dogs, and learn a little about their life in the mountains. |

The Maxi Alpies really enjoy expending their excess energy on a guided bike-ride in the woods and meadows of the spectacular countryside surrounding the village. A varied route mixes riding fun with several stops along the way. Belle Plagne

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 £109 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 £129 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.
Alpies Activities
On one of the three main Alpies Club days, both Minis and Maxis in each of our selected Alpies resorts take part in our Mountain Experience Picnic Hike. Minis and Maxis take separate routes appropriate to their different energy levels, but both end up at the same spot, for a mountain picnic lunch, which all the children enjoy together. This is generally outdoors, but alternatives are arranged if the weather is not smiling on us!
Each resort has slight variations to add to the day, such as a diversion via Pets' Corner, animal tracking, or a mini assault course to complete en route.
On the other two main days, the planned activities vary by resort, as shown on the right. In each case, the first activity shown is arranged as something both Minis and Maxis can enjoy at different levels.
The second activity shown for each resort, is a more adventurous day for the Maxis only. Meanwhile, on this day the Minis all engage in a long-standing Alpies favourite, the Esprit Mini-Olympics & Treasure Hunt. This covers a host of fun games tailored to the children's ages and abilities, with everyone sure of a prize for something at the end of a lively day!
On Thursdays - the optional free 'extra' day, activities are more informal and club-based.
All equipment and all instructors / guides as applicable are included for all these activities in Alpies Club
