Stations avec un vrai guichet de garde
Entre nous, kindergarten suivi d'un village, ce n'est pas un seul produit. Une crèche qui prend un bébé et un jardin des neiges qui commence à 3 ans, ce sont deux portes. La seconde vous renvoie si l'enfant a 2 ans.
Ici, les stations où l'on peut montrer un guichet de garde. Le petit tableau, ce sont les neuf villages français de ces recherches. L'âge est le seuil lu sur la page de l'opérateur le 13 octobre 2026. Quand la page française et la page anglaise ne disent pas la même chose, on tient la française, et on le dit. Pas de tarif sur cette page.
Le tableau alpin plus large, avec les pièges écrits, c'est le guide des stations familiales des Alpes françaises.
Les mêmes guichets, séparés par l'âge où le produit commence, sont sur l'index de la garde par âge.
Neuf villages français, selon le plus jeune guichet
Lu le 13 octobre 2026. La longue liste plus bas, ce sont toutes les stations que l'on marque avec une garde. Ce tableau, ce sont seulement les neuf rouvertes ce jour-là.
| Station | Âge le plus jeune relu | Le guichet |
|---|---|---|
| Bonneval-sur-Arc | 3 mois | Les P'tits Chabottes, dans le village, de 3 mois à 5 ans. L'accueil imprime le 14 décembre 2026 au 24 avril 2027 à côté de cet âge. Deux pages ne donnent pas le même nombre d'enfants, donc pas de chiffre ici. On n'a pas trouvé de page d'âge en anglais, donc on tient l'accueil français. |
| Pralognan-la-Vanoise | 6 mois | Club Enfants, titré de 6 mois à moins de 6 ans. La même fiche indique aussi un maximum de 6 ans. L'accueil anglais ne portait pas cet âge. |
| Montgenèvre | 6 mois | Mini Club ESF. Le titre français et la ligne de réservation disent de 6 mois à 3 ans. Le titre anglais dit de 6 mois à 4 ans. On tient le seuil français et le plafond français. |
| Les Orres | 6 mois | Club Marmottes, de 6 mois à 5 ans, à La Farandole, Les Orres 1800. Les pages forfait française et anglaise sont d'accord. Pas un guichet lu à 1650. |
| Oz-en-Oisans | 6 mois | Le Nid Alpin. L'URL d'hiver française parle d'une structure de 6 mois à 6 ans, à la date d'anniversaire. La page anglaise de la garderie dit 3 mois. On tient 6 mois. Le texte de cette URL française décrivait encore l'été 2026, donc pas de fenêtre d'hiver ici. |
| Les Arcs | 9 mois | Crèche Evolution 2 à Arc 1950, de 9 à 35 mois. Le français et l'anglais sont d'accord. Demi-journées d'abord avant 15 mois. Ce n'est pas le bureau des cours à Arc 1800. |
| Pra Loup | 1 an révolu | Les Petits Loups, de 1 à 5 ans révolus (la veille des 6 ans). Le bloc d'ouverture affichait encore du 13 décembre 2025 au 6 avril 2026, données mises à jour le 4 décembre 2025. Ce n'est pas un calendrier 2026/27. |
| Praz de Lys-Sommand | 1 an, qui marche | Halte-garderie à Sommand, enfants qui marchent, de 1 à 6 ans. Français et anglais : il n'y a pas de garderie au village du Praz de Lys. La fiche anglaise précise l'hiver seulement. |
| La Rosière | 3 ans | Club des Galopins, de 3 à 12 ans. La page ESF française dit qu'il n'y a pas d'habilitation de l'État sous 3 ans, qu'ils vérifient l'identité le premier jour, et qu'ils refuseront. La page anglaise « kindergarten » est le Piou Piou dès 3 ans, un cours, pas une garderie. |

Need childcare plus easy learning terrain
Useful when one parent skis and one learns, or everyone is new.
Need childcare, but budget still matters

Questions fréquentes
À quel âge un guichet de garde prend-il un enfant ?
Il n'y a pas un âge unique. Le 13 octobre 2026, la crèche de Bonneval commence à 3 mois. Pralognan, Montgenèvre, Les Orres, et Oz sur la page française, commencent à 6 mois. Arc 1950 commence à 9 mois. Pra Loup commence à 1 an révolu. Sommand prend les enfants qui marchent dès 1 an, et il n'y a pas de garderie au village du Praz de Lys. La Rosière commence à 3 ans, et la page ESF française dit qu'elle refusera en dessous.
Combien coûte la garderie en station ?
On n'imprime pas de tarif à la journée. Les pages ouvertes affichent des prix, et ils bougent avec la saison. Ouvrez la page de réservation de l'opérateur pour la semaine que vous tenez. Un euro recopié ici serait le mauvais hiver.
