Ski Family Time
Together on the boards

Introduction

If you do it right, skiing is one of those experiences that can bring the family together. A break from everyday life for parents and children, spending time together without a care in the world, and the start of a new chapter in your family history. It doesn't matter whether it's just about the youngsters learning to stand on their own two feet or whether they were born into a family tradition of ski holidays. To make sure that everything runs smoothly, it’s a good idea to make sure everything is perfect. From the equipment to the ski resort and the programme.

It offers skis and ski boots for the whole mountain. An overview:

At the resort, it is important to keep motivation high: because slopes are not necessarily exciting for children, it is usually a good idea to head for the fun elements on the children's slope. Besides skiing, kids will learn important life skills: patience, responsibility, overcoming fears and processing feelings of success. But shush, the kids don't need to know about learning!

Family-friendly ski resorts

Most ski resorts offer a variety of services for families – after all, a large proportion of skiers are families. Nevertheless, there are some particularly suitable locations. These ski resorts shine with designated family friendliness:
