Family Ski Holidays
Anyone who has ever planned and booked a family ski holiday will tell you it’s not an easy game. Booking the annual boys’ trip is easy and even the corporate ski weekend seems quite painless to arrange. But there’s something about taking the children to the mountains which requires further thought, care and consideration.
For many families with young children, the requirements of a hotel are as long as your arm! Families with young children need to find accommodation close to the slopes because four year-olds can’t carry skis for long. The resort needs to be within two hours or so of the arrival airport to minimise transfer time. They need to have good beginner slopes, decent tree coverage for shelter, the resort must have off-the-slopes activities... The list goes on!
These days more than ever, the Alps have a very wide range of family-friendly accommodation, and decent childcare can now be found throughout a multitude of resorts.
We’ve put ourselves in the shoes of every parent trying to plan the family ski getaway and put together some tips and considerations that may be handy for you this coming season...
