Looking at booking your next family ski holiday? You’ll need somewhere that’s suited to the whole gang!
When you fly into Grenoble, you’ll unlock a menagerie of perfect pistes for every skill level. What’s more, there are plenty of resorts that go the extra mile to keep the kids entertained off the slopes. Check out our family favourites below.
Chamrousse
Fly into Grenoble and the slopes of Chamrousse are yours for the taking! It’s a real family-friendly resort here, with a range of runs and a beginner's ski area. You can even swap skis for slides at the tube park, which is suitable for all kids over the age of two. Téo, the resort’s mascot, invites younger ones to the fun slope, where they can gain confidence and get involved in friendly competitions. And there’s more entertainment than you can shake a ski at! We’re talking storytelling, cinema nights and quizzes.
Alpe d’Huez
Family ski trips are sorted at Alpe d’Huez, because it’s a real all-rounder. From wide blues and greens to challenging black runs, it’s great for families no matter whether you’ve got younger kids or teens. When you’re after some fun away from the slopes, give the alpine coaster a go, where virtual reality goggles transport you to another world as you zoom down twists and turns. Accommodation wise, you’ve got everything from self-catered apartments to huge hotels with all the bells and whistles, meaning you can tailor your family ski holiday to suit you.
Villard-de-Lans/Corrençon
With its panoramic views, two ski schools and range of slopes, this modern resort is fully equipped to suit the whole brood. Seasoned skiers will find plenty to test their skills, with seven red and eight black slopes. Just starting out or rediscovering the sport after a long break? There are four spaces dedicated to beginners.
Little ones will be in their element thanks to Aux Rambins, a snow-dusted hamlet that’s all geared up for smaller skiers. Located in the heart of the village of Corrençon, you can expect sledging, skiing and more.
Les Deux Alpes
Looking for a family-friendly spot? Call off the search! With an easy-access town and accommodation within a few minutes’ walk of the lifts, Les Deux Alpes is ideal for hopping from slope to slope with the kids. Lots of the easiest slopes are at the top of the mountain, which means even inexperienced skiers can enjoy panoramic views of the French Alps.
The resort makes mealtimes a breeze thanks to a smattering of restaurants. Plenty are family-friendly too, so you can relax with the whole gang after a long day out on the slopes.
