Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Resorts/Hotels for Families

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi all. I am new to this forum so treat me gently!! We are 4 families who are looking for a ski resort and hotel/chalet that is good for children. We usually ski in France but would like a change this year. Last year we had a good hotel in La Plagne which was fantastic with the kids ie they kept them most of the day, providing lunch and 2 sets of lessons per day, so we only had to be back around 5.00pm on 3 of the days. There must be some good family hotels out there. We don't mind what country it is. I know this is a tall order but if anyone has any ideas that would be fantastic. Thanks.

Snowbidd, welcome to snowHeads snowHead

I have copied this quote that I made on a similar thread...

The ultimate family hotel has to be the Bellevue - Maerchen hotel in Braunwald (a small resort 2hrs by train from Zurich), the owners are so family orientated that it was a real children's playground .

From the animals in their petting zoo to the step in reception so the kids can see what is happening, they are so child-orientated. There was a swimming pool with monkey bars over the top + slide into it, a huge games room (for kids of all ages), electronic games room, another room with bouncy castles, if your kids didn't want to ski, there was the free use of a nanny in the hotel to look after any non-skiing kids in the mornings. My children loved the fact that there was a slide from 1st to ground so they didn't have to go down the stairs, there was a storytime (by the hotel owner - in English and German), and the thing my kids really loved was that at breakfast you got your milk by twisting the udders of a full-size wooden cow in the dining room. The hotel laid on free use of a horse and cart to take the kids the 500m to the ski slopes (there and back). The details are here.

As it was 4*, it was good for the adults too, including a wellness centre and excellent food.

Snowbidd, you should have a look at La Rosiere, it has a P'tit Montanardsaward which means it's good for kids. Not many hotels but lots of chalets. it's Ski Espirit's most popular resort. You might also want to have a look at our website www.tracksvacations.com where there are lots of links to the resort, ski schools etc., we recommend Les Galopins who take kids from 18mths to 12 yrs up to all day.

Snowbidd, as an alternative - have you tried any of the family orientated ski specialist companies like Ski Esprit etc?

Would normally find a subtle way of recommending myself but as you are looking outside France have a look at http://www.kinderhotels.co.uk/. Have heard a few good things and the focus is 100% on families.

Serfaus, Austria is very good for kids. Small kids can ski here in the village http://www.loewebaer.com/en/winter/kinderschneealm.php whereas older children can ski on the main learner area up on the mountain.

Stayed in the Löwe, while not cheap it was excellent ....

stortfordhal, there are a few drags, which we normally try to avoid, there are a couple which can't be avoided, the bellecote lifts into Italy. I would recommend La Rosiere as one of the best resorts for beginners, we've had lots of guests who've come out as absolute novices and have been able to ski to Italy and back within a week. There are 3 very good ski schools and a number of independent monitors in the village, if your friends will only ski drags then they'll restrict themselves but it's possible to use only drags and still get a reasonable amount odf skiing.

stortfordhal,

Kitzsteinhorn (Kaprun, Austria) has ten drag lifts and 4 cable cars with only 5 chairlifts. Great for beginners and most if not all of the pistes can be covered without using the chairlifts.
