When DS and his then girlfriend were managing different ski hotels in Verbier, they managed to get me a room in hers and I ate in his. They somehow got me a lift pass too. I didn't even think about skiing - Heaven forbid! But the free local bus service took me round about the town and the lift pass took me to the top of the piste so that I could watch them skiing while I warmed up with hot chocolate. I put on my walking boots and enjoyed a stroll in a neighbouring valley. It was an unforgettable week when I also clearly saw the Comet Hale-Bopp in that wonderful cloudless Alpine sky.
OP don't dismiss the idea out of hand, but find out what you can do in the resort while the rest of the family go skiing.
