family friendly ski resorts

1.     With very young children and toddlers it is worth finding a resort with minimal transfer times.  Some resorts can have a 3 or 4 hour transfer time on a coach from the airport, which many small children (or parents) couldn’t cope with. Consider Austrian resorts such a Kaprun, Bad Gastein and Kitzbuhel which are near to Salzberg Airport or French resorts such as Flaine or Morzine which are close to Geneva airport.  Older children may survive the longer journeys so you will have a larger selection.  For more details and a list of resorts worth considering, look at our section on holidays at www.littleskiers.co.uk/holidays-explained.

 

Top Family Friendly Destinations to consider:
