    Another vote for Esprit or Mark Warner.

    We’ve used them several times and whilst not cheap, our girls (7 & 5) have always enjoyed themselves. They aren’t cheap, but then skiing isn’t. This year, the lessons, childcare, ski hire and lift passes cost more than the holiday basic price.

    As for the ESF, we’ve used them independently in Morzine and as part of a package with Esprit.

    In Morzine last year, our eldest was in a group of 20 with 1 instructor, and she could barely understand his English. This year in Belle Plagne with Esprit, she was in a group of 8 (max group size) with an instructor who spoke excellent English. She enjoyed it much more this year and made lots of progess.

    We took my kids when they were 4 and 5 the first time. They picked it up straight away. It is a perfect age.

    le groupe doit être constitué par une douzaine d’enfants au maximum (ESF doc)

    There’s a quota of one teacher/instructor/responsible adult per 12 kids and that’s law in France.

    Morzine is really family friendly.

    There are plenty of beginner and child-friendly learner slopes (as well as the tougher stuff for adults) and lots of good English-speaking ski schools.

    What we enjoyed the most was the good amount of activities off the slopes too. If the little ones want a break from the slopes mid-week then there is Aquariaz – a family orientated water park with plenty on offer for young children to teenagers, and adults.

    There is some info about family activities here [list]http://www.aiglonmorzine.com/index.php/news/2013-news/item/8-what-makes-morzine-the-best-family-ski-resort#.Uygcl86PWA4[/list] if that helps.
