Do you picture yourself waking up to snow-capped mountains and days playing in the powdery white stuff this December? Then it’s about time you take the jump and book a ski trip.
Now I can already hear your doubts, “but my kids can’t ski…”. Well with these family friendly options there is something to suit everyone and all abilities.
So you can rest assured that even if you hit the slopes a novice, you will leave them as a pro.
Family skiing holidays can be the ultimate incredible experience. Spending quality time with your children in the fresh mountain air being active, is something that all families should try.
But a key factor in making a family ski holiday a success all round is making sure you choose the right resort for you.
One of the world's biggest ski resorts and one of the most snow sure thanks to its high altitude glacier slopes, Les 2 Alpes in France is perfect for families.
Children from as young as one can join in the fun by sliding on snow with the unique 'Baby Snow' device while older kids can try a risk-free ski jump with the Big Air Snowbag. There is also the opportunity to ride winter Segways, mini snowmobiles and ice gliders.
Designed to be family friendly, with sectors for different abilities and snow sport styles, Galtur is a great option. While children from the age of two are looked after in the guest kindergarten and from three in ski school, older children have a full week of activities, which include lessons in ski and boarding jumps.
There is also a treasure hunt, night skiing sessions, and an introduction to avalanche awareness, speed skiing and sessions on snowblades.
Every Friday the resort hosts its very own mini Winter Olympics, complete with electronic timing, award ceremonies, medals and winner's cups - this is a must do.
This is a car-free village resort, which means it is especially child friendly. Offering a rural landscape means it’s perfect for a wintery stroll with little ones whilst it also proves a great destination for older kids.
With two terrain parks, one with a huge halfpipe and the other aimed at beginners with entry level jumps, rails and lines means this is one resort that fits all.
If you're looking for something a little bit different to the usual Alpine ski holiday, head to Yllas.
The placid arctic landscape in Finland is ideal for beginners, and offers some lovely alternative activities, such as husky sledding, reindeer sleigh rides and snowshoeing, which will be incredibly magical for little children.
