There's no doubt that February half-term is a popular time for family ski holidays. The children are on school holiday, the snow conditions are great across the Alps, the sun is (generally) shining, and many resorts host a larger-than-usual variety of family-friendly events.
This season, blue skies and snowy slopes could be found from Chatel in the Haute Savoie right down to Briancon in the Southern Alps, and there's been plenty going on too. Below are some of our favourite webcam shots from the week that have 'perfect day in the mountains' written all over them!
La Rosiere
For half-term, La Rosière tourism office usually organises several special events dedicated to children. One of the events this February was a Mardi Gras carnival! Families got into the carnival spirit by donning their favourite fancydress outfits and costumes, and parading around the village.

Les Gets
Love was all around in Les Gets where they held a special event for Valentine's Day called 'I love Mont Chéry'. Couples could share a romantic aperitif in the Mont Chéry bubble with the option of dinner in the Belvédère mountain restaurant afterwards! The bubble cars were beautifully decorated and the nighttime views of the village were magnificent, definitely something to add to the winter bucket list.
