Family ski holidays: where’s best? Apr 07

What better way to get away from the monotony of day to day life than by hitting the slopes on a family ski holiday and spending time with each other in a fun packed setting. A lot of of Europe’s top ski schools will welcome children from the age of three years old, which means that there’s no reason why the whole family can’t get involved with the enjoyment on the slopes. Qualified instructors who are experienced in teaching a group of children will make sure that kids learn to ski in an enjoyable and safe setting.

Many ski schools will also offer skiing kindergartens which encourage young children to enjoy the snow and play under the watchful eye of specially trained instructors. As with any well planned trip, before booking your family ski holiday you’ll need to consider several points when picking your chosen resort:

Does the resort offer family friendly accommodation?
Does the ski area have child friendly pistes?
What sort of reputation do the local ski schools and childcare facilities have?
Is the entire family going to be kept occupied? What variety of activities are on offer in the ski resort?
Taking into account flight and transfer time from the airport to your accommodation, how long is it going to take to get to your end destination? Will your kids become agitated?
Meal times for young children and babies can often be irregular. If you’re staying in catered accommodation, how versatile are the meal times for youngsters?
How far are the childcare facilities from the slopes?

Take a look at the piste map and work out how feasible it will be to ski back to your child’s nursery quickly if they are restless.

We’ve put together a short guide on some of the best places to take your family ski holiday:
