Families on the slopes

The ski season is ending in Europe, so now is the perfect time to organise your next ski holiday. Mountains are definitely at their most enchanting in winter, with stunning snowy scenery. Ski resorts across Europe offer plenty of ski classes to help improve your skiing skills. Most of them speak English and provide everything needed for adults and kids alike. But if you want to be sure of where you should book next year, here is a small selection of the best ski resorts that are best suited for families.

Italy’s reputation for ski holidays is growing year after year. Val di Fassa ski resort is ideal for family holidays. You will find plenty of activities especially for the kids in the famous kids’ club, as well as easy slopes to practice on.

Villars
in Switzerland is a friendly resort with one of the most original ski schools. Here you will learn how to ski with short skis. The better you get, the longer the skis you can wear! On top of that, the village is lovely and offers nice relaxing evenings in restaurants.

Austria is not to be missed either. Fieberbrunn is a real hidden gem, that you have to go to at least once in your life and there is plenty to do on and off the slopes. What’s more, the resort isn’t too crowded, even during holidays, so you can enjoy the skiing area in its entirety.

In France, of course, you have a choice to make. More than 40 resorts are supposed to be the best for families and kids. Amongst them, Les Gets in the northern Alps offers a free area called Mappys, especially for kids wishing to live with…. Native Americans! It is by far the most unusual club in the Alps!

Of course this is a just a small list of what there is on offer for families looking to ski in Europe. Plenty of resorts have everything you need for your ski holidays. If you want more tips on booking, where to go to, or what to do in the mountains, just read The Ski Holiday Guide by SkiHorizon.
