People often think that the mountains are reserved for skiers. However, even little ones can enjoy them, and it’s actually excellent for their development. Here’s why a stay at altitude is beneficial from a very young age.
Breathing the fresh mountain air is already a good reason to bring a baby to the mountains. Less polluted and drier, the high-altitude air allows little lungs to breathe better and promotes better quality sleep.
Many parents notice that their child sleeps better, eats better, and is generally calmer during a stay in the mountains. Far from screens, noise, and hustle, the mountain has soothing qualities.
The mountain is a wonderful playground for awakening. The contrast of snowy landscapes, the light, the muffled sounds by the snow, the cold textures under the fingers… All of this naturally stimulates the child’s senses.
Watching snowflakes fall, touching the snow, looking at trees or wild animals (squirrels, birds…) are all calm but deeply enriching activities for little ones.
The mountains teach patience (waiting for the snow, observing nature), perseverance (climbing a slope, walking in the snow), and respect for the environment. These lessons are essential and happen naturally, throughout the days without pressure.
In adapted settings like the Crèche du Yéti, these experiences are guided with care and tailored to each child’s age.
Far from everyday life, mountain holidays are often an opportunity to slow down, spend more time together, play, and laugh. For a child, nothing is more important than these moments of connection with their parents.
Building a snowman, drinking hot chocolate, walking hand in hand… These are the simple yet heartfelt memories that truly matter.
The mountains offer toddlers a healthy, rich, and stimulating environment. Well supervised and respected in their own rhythm, children find there everything they need to awaken, flourish, and grow. The Crèche du Yéti, in Arc 1950, allows them to enjoy all this in the best conditions, while parents also recharge.
