On the slopes with kids
Family-friendly ski holidays

Still looking for a destination for a holiday in the snow? We have collected some family-friendly ski areas across Germany, Austria and Switzerland for you.

Many ski areas offer a wide range of options for little skiers and their parents. If the conditions are right and every family member gets their money's worth, nothing stands in the way of a holiday in the snow being relaxing.

Family-friendly ski areas offer good ski schools with qualified supervision as well as accommodation that is tailored to the needs of families. There should also be a separate beginner area and opportunities for the little ones to play.
