Indulge in the charm of luxury family ski hotels in Switzerland, where picturesque villages adorned with snow and horse-drawn sleighs create a magical atmosphere. In St. Moritz, the rightly famous Hotel Kulm offers family-friendly luxury with dedicated family rooms, a children’s menu, and a weekly kids program which has featured activities from jewellery making to pizza baking. Meanwhile, the Walliserhof Grand Hotel and Spa in Saas Fee provides a family-friendly haven with a free supervised playroom service and a distinctive pool, allowing you to swim in a grotto-like setting beneath an elegant chandelier.

Family ski holidays go far beyond pizza and pasta in Italy's purpose-built resorts like Cervinia, Sestriere and Sauze d'Oulx. Ski-to-door hotels abound, with Valtur Cervinia Cristallo Ski Resort offering spacious family rooms and a massive 200m² pool with dedicated splash zones. Adler Spa Resort Dolomiti in Ortisei exudes old-world charm with heated outdoor and indoor pools, an all-day kids club and a children’s snack bar.

Some of Austria’s best luxury family ski hotels in Austria are in charming villages like Lech, Obergurgl and Mayrhofen. One of our favourite five-star family-friendly hotels is the Hotel Arlberg in Lech. Not only is the in-house kids club included in the room rate, kids can also enjoy the dedicated family spa with saunas, steam rooms and relaxation lounges—luxurious moments for both parents and children. Meanwhile, the Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl in Obergurgl has family rooms and suites, an indoor/outdoor pool and a kids' club, perfect for them to let off steam while you grab a quiet moment in the spa.

There are good family ski hotels and then there are great ones, where kids are treated like kings and grown-ups just as much catered for. From interconnecting rooms to child-friendly food and handy locations, they’ve thought of everything that makes family skiing fabulous.

Pick a hotel in one of the best ski resorts for families and you’ll have top notch ski schools and kindergartens, winter wonderland activities (like husky sled rides and ice skating) and child-friendly restaurants at your fingertips.

Of course they’ll go wild for the white stuff, but with indoor excitement your little ones’ll have an absolute blast all-round. Swimming pools are a super addition for an après-ski splash around, and our favourite resorts have kids pools kitted out with slides and paddling areas. Games rooms and bowling alleys are other things to look out for, and to allow mum and dad some time off, creches and kids clubs provide childcare in the daytime and sometimes evenings too.
