We Are Winners! Best Kids’ Club at the Junior Travel Awards 2026

We’re absolutely delighted to announce that. Bear Cubs at Bear Lodge has been named Winner of Best Kids’ Club at the Junior Magazine Travel Awards 2026. This is a fantastic recognition of the fun, care and creativity at the heart of our childcare programme.

“Bear Cubs at Bear Lodge stood out for its exceptional childcare offering designed to support families during ski holidays.”

This award is a huge honour and means the world to us - especially because it celebrates the environment we’ve built for little ones to explore, play, learn and feel at home. From imaginative activities and snowy outdoor play to cosy indoor spaces, Bear Cubs is all about making holidays magical for children and stress-free for parents.

Nestled within Bear Lodge, Bear Cubs is more than a kids club. It’s a calm, welcoming space where little ones are known by name, encouraged to explore, create and play, and cared for by qualified, English-speaking staff in a purpose-built Alpine environment. From crafts and stories to snowy outdoor adventures and cosy rest time, every detail is designed around comfort, confidence and fun.

Bear Cubs was created with families in mind, a place where children can enjoy:

• Age-appropriate activities led by friendly, qualified childcare professionals
• Structured play and creative sessions
• Snow-based fun and social time with new friends
• A safe, nurturing space that gives parents peace of mind

This award recognises the quality, care and joyful experiences that Bear Cubs brings to each family’s ski holiday. Parents tell us it’s “the only ski holiday that actually feels like a holiday” - and that feedback is what we’re most proud of.

A huge thank you to all the families who’ve shared their Bear Cubs stories, and to the Junior Magazine judges for this recognition. Most of all, this award belongs to our incredible childcare team - whose passion and enthusiasm make Bear Cubs such a special place.

This winter also marks an exciting new chapter, as Bear Cubs launches at the Graciosa. The same thoughtful approach, trusted team ethos and child-first philosophy is now being enjoyed by families in our newest resort, and the feedback so far has been nothing short of fantastic.

Here’s to many more unforgettable family ski adventures.
