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 :-)

Saas Fee I always recommend for groups containing people who dont ski much, as it is a lovely village with lots of shops and bars etc.

Not sure what there is for a 12 year old although I think there is a separate lift dedicated to tobogganing. Its certainly high for you but is a bit disjointed because of the glacier so may not suit your wife.

Austrian resorts are lovely, somewhere like Bad Hofgastein perhaps ... some nice if pricey hotels there including some with pools etc. The downside of the pretty village there is that it is down in the valley, so it can take a while to get to the slopes.

Oh and apparently it's called "criggy" now, not Christmas (see other posts). Do try to keep up. Very Happy

harrim51, If you're interested in Austria, I'd also add Lech to your list. I love Solden but you might find the cruisy blues of Lech/Oberlech more suitable for your wife? Haven't skied the other areas so can't comment. Lech is picture postcard pretty (perfect for Xmas) with a good snow record and I'm sure there would be plenty for your daughter to do off the slopes.

IME the most important ingredient for a 12 year old to have fun off the slopes is to have other kids around and be able to spend some independent time away from the parents! A hotel which specialised in families and had some activities organised for that age-group, so she could go off and do her own thing might be a good idea? If I couldn't find anything that suits, overall, I'd be tempted to try to find a good friend to take, so the two of them could be pretty self-sufficient.

I can recommend Hinterglemm. Perfect for children, there is a lift going until 11 pm and with nightlife closeby. There is also plenty of ski in ski out accomodation. And the glemm valley ciruit totally consists of blue runs without the need to take a red one.
You can try Serfaus, the number one ski resort in Austria for children. Here you have a flat valley run back to the ski resort. And there are plenty of english speaking children. Ladis is also nice for children. The connecting run between fiss and ladis is one of flattest I have ever seen.
You will also find plenty of children and a large share of blue runs in dorfgastein/Hochkoenig, lots of children but more red slopes in the Hochkoenig resort.
Other suggestions
Hochkrimml / Gerlosplatte part of the Zillertal Arena.
I agree to the previous snowhead Lech is very nice but the number of children is significantly lower.
Zell am see: there are some step runs back to the village. But on can take the gondola back to the village.
