Skiing in Europe can be easier, more authentic, and cheaper than staying stateside. Here are our top pics.
Much ado has been made recently about European ski trips costing less than vacationing at Western resorts (especially if you’re traveling from the East Coast). Providing you can find reasonable airfares, just about everything else once you get there—including lift tickets, lodging, meals, and lessons—is less expensive on the other side of the pond. Still, when it comes to the best ski resorts for families, there’s a common assumption that vacationing in the Alps might be challenging or unsuitable for kids. Not so.
English is commonly spoken in the majority of resorts, and European ski culture warmly embraces children, with little ones being welcome everywhere, including the leisurely midday meals at on-slope chalets. Additionally, ski school fees in the Alps are notably lower than those in North America, making private lessons much more budget-friendly.
An Alps ski trip isn’t just about hitting the slopes—it’s a chance to dive into ski history, experience new cultures, and spark a passion for global travel in your family. Handpicked by SKI editors, these five resorts have everything families need for an unforgettable skiing adventure, regardless of age or skill level.
