5 ways to celebrate Mother’s Day in the Alps

A family playing in the snow in the French Alps Thursday, 29, February, 2024

Skiing in the Alps over Mother’s Day? We’ve got some great ideas to ensure that mum feels the love and has the perfect snowy Mother’s Day!
(In 2024, Mother’s Day is the 10th March)

1. Breakfast in bed

It’s an oldie but a goodie. Lots of our self-catered apartments let you order delicious breakfast treats like croissants and pain au chocolat, at reception. Pick these up in the morning, pop the coffee on, and breakfast is served!

2. Say it with snow

Surprise mum by writing a message in the snow outside the window of your apartment or be her very own snow angel. Makes for a great photo to share on Social Media or to use for next year’s card too!
(If you do this, we would love to see.)

3. Treat her to a treatment

Many of our 4* residences have on-site spas. Get organised now and book her a massage or facial. Resorts such as St Gervais, Brides-les-Bains and Chamonix also have their own thermal baths, using water known for it's healing properties! 

4. Dinner is served

Choose a restaurant and book a meal out, our team know our resorts inside out so why not ask them for a recommendation? Let the restaurant know you’re celebrating and see if they can make it a little more special for you.

5. Get arty

Plan ahead and bring card and coloured pens to create a homemade Mother’s Day card, while mum has some me-time. In the UK it is held on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It is exactly three weeks before Easter Sunday.

Fun fact! Did you know the French celebrate Mother’s Day on the last Sunday in May (or early June depending on when Pentecost falls)?
