Ski hotels with Pool

Pulled off your ski boots, whipped on your swimmers, and sauntered into your pool to find it swimming in children?

If you like your laps without shrieks and splashes, stick to an adult-only pool, like the Hotel Elizabeth's, or look for a spa hotel which usually place age limits or hourly restrictions on children.

A chalet with a pool's another option, which outside of peak dates (Christmas, New Year, Easter and Half Term), are usually adult-only.

SNO's favourite hotels with Adult-only pools:

Hotel Riml, Club Med Val Thorens Sensations, Hotel Elisabeth

Given the continental attitude to nudity (generally the more on show, the merrier...), it's worth knowing what's the norm in resort.

The French Speedo rule: We've all heard of this one – that you're not allowed to swim in a public French pool in anything but Lycra. In truth, it's policed in some places more than others. Still, we've seen French leisure centres with a Speedo loan box for those who've forgotten theirs… If you're more into boardshorts than budgie-smugglers, ask us to find you a hotel with a pool where the rules don't apply.

Caps: Swimming caps are the essential wear in Italy, often even required in hotel pools, so make sure to pack one to avoid being turned away with your cozzie on. Our sources say a shower cap from the hotel bathroom won't do - it needs to be a proper bathing cap.

Pools have always been must-haves many of our own family ski trips, and almost all hotel pools are open to children. Exceptions include some spa pools and adult-only hotels, but if unspecified on our hotel pages, you can be pretty sure that little ones are allowed – get our specialists to double check for you.

Some properties dedicate entire separate swimming areas just to children, like the Family Resort Seiblishof, where the spa's connected to a children's water area with vitality and tropical rain showers.

Just ask and we can find a hotel in a resort that's right for you and yours.

There are pools of the first water among our luxury ski hotels, and we've collected the finest in the mountains to point you in the direction of aquatic excellence. Properties lower down the price scale may not have hydro-massaging technology or tepidariums for you to climb out to, but then again sometimes water's all you really need…

One of our hotels, the Levitunturi Spa Hotel, has SEVENTEEN pools… and there are others, like the Schloss Lebenburg's, that are infinity edged so it feels like you're swimming straight out to the mountains. At Hotel Schwarzer Adler, there's an incredible open-air pool on the rooftop… Whether you'd like yours indoors, out, dedicated to little dippers or just one of the distractions in a hotel spa, at SNO we're wading in properties with pools.

Whether you’re looking for the very best luxury ski hotels with pool like the spectacular Arlberg in Lech or a family friendly option with childcare and kids clubs like the ever popular Club Med L’Alpe d’Huez, France has one of the widest selection of hotels with a swimming pool in the alps. Among the most recommended and rebooked re the stunning Koh-I Nor in Val Thorens and the Village Montana Suites in Tignes, but our selection runs to almost 200 so enter your dates and airport to search all ski hotels with pool in France.

As the skiing fraternity’s global home of 5-star, it’s perhaps unsurprising that some of the world’s finest ski hotels with a pool are in Switzerland. The opulent Walliserhof Grand Hotel and Spa in Saas Fee stands out as the only pool we know of where you swim beneath a chandelier, and the old-world charm and levels of service at the Romantik Hotel Schweizerhof in Grindelwald match the views that you wake up to beneath the north face of the mighty Eiger.

Considered by some clients to be more authentically alpine, Austria has a long tradition of often family-run ski hotels, and a swimming pool is one of the most requested facilities. With well over 200 in our collection, you’ll find options to suit both your preference and your purse. Top recommendations from lux-loving clients include the stylish Hotel Arlberg in Lech and glacier-cool Arthotel Elizabeth in Ischgl, while one of our family groups has taken two dozen of their nearest and dearest to the Alpine Palace in Hinterglemm every winter for the last ten years. Lucky devils.

With a reputation as the alpine nation with the most laid-back atmosphere, it’s no surprise that off-slope activities carry as much emphasis in Italy as the skiing. The grand old piles of yesteryear like venerable Adler Spar Resort Dolomiti are still elegantly servicing the great and the good, but the Italians have more recently gone big in contemporary and boutique chic with notable recent reopening of the Hotel Cervino in Cervinia (5 star hotel with pool skiing the Matterhorn glacier for a fraction of the price of Zermatt). As clients with children have flocked to all inclusive family ski hotels, the ever popular Club Med Pragelato in the vast Via Lattea (Milky Way) ski area has been our most booked Italian ski hotel with a pool for 3 years running.
