What to Consider for a Family Ski Holiday

When looking to book your 2022 family ski trip, finding the right option can seem daunting with so much choice available. However, with the help of our knowledgeable Ski Specialists, you can have peace of mind, as they’ll be on hand to help you every step of the way. They can help recommend the best ski resort for you, what accommodation will suit your needs and even what level ski lessons you may want.

Here are some of the main things to think about when planning your family ski holiday:

• Travel Time – Early morning flights and resorts with long transfer times may not be best for little ones. But there are lots of resorts that offer short transfer times which may be the best for your family.
• Choice of Resort – You should think about the skiing abilities in your family, and go somewhere that also has the right mix of activities off the slopes.
• Choice of Accommodation – Self-catered apartments give greater access to the slopes (usually), but our ski chalets are a real home-from-home with full-size kitchens and mostly en-suite rooms. So which is best for you?
• Self Drive Ski Holidays - If you prefer to drive from the UK to the ski resort this is also possible. Our packages include Eurotunnel crossings as well as accommodation.
• Childcare – Will you need childcare or ski school during your trip?
• Room Configurations – Will you need family rooms, or are the kids older and require their own space and privacy?
• Non-Ski Activities - As well as skiing it's nice to visit a resort that also has a great selection of other activities too. This might include tobogganing, snowshoeing, fat biking or just some good old-fashioned apres ski!.

The Best Ski Resorts for Families

We look at the best ski resorts for your family ski holiday based on their ability. Whether you have family members who are just starting out, or maybe they're ready to take on new challenges on the slopes... or maybe they're already overtaking you! Whatever the scenario you want to make sure you choose the right resort for everyone so we've compiled our favourites based on our own personal memories and experiences.

Best Resorts for Beginners

Our top family ski resorts which are great if you have beginners within your family. We have specifically chosen resorts

ALPE D'HUEZ
An ideal ski resort for families with beginner skiers as Alpe d’Huez offers terrain for all abilities. There are two beginner areas, Rif Nel and Les Jeux, which are great places to get your first taste of skiing with a dozen or so green runs at hand.

LA PLAGNE
La Plagne is a great resort for a family ski holiday as much of the ski area is on a gentle plateau at the top of the resort which offers wide cruising runs, perfect for beginners to cut their teeth on. The resort is made up of 11 villages, although for beginners in the high villages of Belle Plagne and Plagne Centre it may be best to avoid the lower, more challenging runs.

LA ROSIERE
The nursery slopes in La Rosiere are just a short lift ride from the two main villages. It offers a pleasant alternative to a family ski holiday in the Alps as it is a smaller, quieter resort which can be a preferential option for beginners. It is also an attractive resort with a village charm with well thought of ski schools.

LES ARCS
A really solid choice for a family with beginner skiers, thanks to the four beginner zones (“ski tranquille”) across the resort as well as 10 free beginners lifts too. Les Arcs doesn’t use the green run classification, however many of their blues runs are gentle enough to be greens.

Best Resorts for Intermediates

THE THREE VALLEYS
This is a massive area (encompassing Courchevel, Meribel and Val Thorens) and with over 600kms of piste, there really is something for the whole family thanks to the huge variety a skiing terrain on offer.

COURCHEVEL
Whilst Courchevel is maybe best known for being a high-end and expensive ski resort, it actually has a lot to offer skiers of all abilities. Arguably intermediates are catered for better which means that it is a great place to progress, and if you want to stretch your legs – then there’s the whole of the three valleys to explore. Also, outside of Courchevel 1850, prices aren’t as expensive as you might think.

MERIBEL
Meribel always looks like a stereotypical alpine ski village; it is a resort which is inherently attractive. The resort has also made of point of being family-friendly and this is evident through the range of ski schools, childcare facilities and general entertainment for children, like specified sledging areas and kid ski areas with Inuit Villages and mini slalom courses.

VAL THORENS
Having only a slight bias towards intermediate skiers makes Val Thorens a great place for beginners to progress from the numerous nursery slopes and green runs. It is also the highest resort in the Three Valleys which promises great snow throughout the season. For the family, the longest toboggan run in France is a great option as is the incredible spectacle of the ski instructor’s torchlit descent.

Ski School & Childcare

We only work with the best in-resort ski schools and our Ski Specialists can advise and pre-book the relevant classes for you and your family.

Childcare and Private Nanny Service

You are never too young to enjoy a ski holiday! Many of our resorts have local crèche facilities and most have pre-ski school kindergartens (which usually require a vaccination certificate).

We are delighted to offer a private nanny service in partnership with T4 Nannies in Val d’Isère, Tignes, La Plagne, La Rosiere, Courchevel and Meribel.

Ski resorts are magical places for children and T4 nannies offer fun, flexible and top-notch childcare. Unlike other nanny services, they hand-pick their nannies and hire them for the full season, so they personally know and trust the people who will be looking after your children. All their nannies are CRB checked, first aid trained and come with glowing references.
