Family ski holidays can be fraught with logistical nightmares. For starters there’s danger, dangerous amounts of gear and airports to navigate - and that’s before the fights over the top bunk. So we’ve put our Gurus to the test to recommend the best family ski holiday hotels to make your break as enjoyable and relaxing as possible.
Aspen Snowmass
Our selection of the best family ski holiday hotels includes both those with dedicated children's activity programmes - try the Tschuggen Grand Hotel in Arosa - and those which are ideally located for ski school drop offs - like the Le Portetta in Courchevel 1650. And all our best family ski holiday hotels are in top resorts including Zermatt, Verbier, Megeve and Chamonix.
Best Family Ski Hotels - Verbier
Though not generally known as the most family friendly of ski resorts, we have a few recommendations in Verbier.

- One of our favourites is La Rotonde, a centrally located hotel with some great value family rooms.
- Another great option for those travelling en famille is the Hotel Vanessa - this property has recently undergone some renovation and offers great suites and duplexes just five minutes from the Place Centrale.
- The Hotel Bristol is a great value addition to our list of the best family ski hotels, with comfortable rooms, hearty breakfasts and a prime position on the Place Centrale.
Best Family Ski Hotels - Val d'Isere
- For those who insist that the only place to ski is the Espace Killy, then let us suggest La Galise in Val d'Isere. It is only 20m from the lifts and has a lively atmosphere, perfect for parents with teenagers!

- Le Samovar also makes our list of the best family ski hotels, it’s just 100m from the Funicular at La Daille and has a pizzeria, free wifi and a sauna and hot tub. It’s a friendly place where you can ski almost all the way to the front door.
For Three Valleys fans the choice of best family ski holiday hotels might appear endless, but we’ve refined it for you. Our favourite family friendly hotels are:
- Le Portetta 1650 which is right next to the nursery slopes and has family suites which sleep up to six, in-house ski and boot hire and a kid-friendly games room,
- and the Hotel St Martin in St Martin de Belleville which provides roomy family suites and five apartments.
- The Hôtel des 3 Vallées in Val Thorens is another of our best family ski holiday hotels. With just 33 rooms and four family suites, its great, central location and gargantuan breakfasts and set three-course dinners its an easy option for keeping everyone happy.
- The Hotel Val Chaviere is excellent value, as well as being family friendly, it’s right by the piste in Val Thorens, just a few minutes walk from the centre of the resort and has sunny, comfortable family ensuite rooms.
Best Family Ski Hotels - Zermatt
Unlike the Three Valleys, Zermatt is not a place which springs to mind when one thinks of the best family ski holiday hotels, but the Hotel Alex is a great choice in this car free resort, with a children's stübli, playground, large swimming pool and indoor tennis courts.
Best Family Ski Hotels - Chamonix
Chamonix is a good choice for families though! With easy access from Geneva and skiing to suit all abilities, plus a buzzing town centre there are a number of our best family ski holiday hotels here.

- We recommend the Hotel Eden which is only100m from the Flegere cable car and has excellent value accommodation including family suites and self catering apartments. If that’s not enough it also boasts a Michelin recommended restaurant.
- L' Hermitage also makes the list of the best family ski holiday hotels, with its huge private terraces, big chalet rooms and breathtaking views, just a few steps from the centre of town.
Best Family Ski Hotels - Megeve
Another recommendation for the best family ski holiday hotels is just down the road in Megéve.

- Les Fermes de Marie is a luxury collection of chalets and farmhouses, which has a Hameau des enfants - its kids only zone! Think organised games, child friendly meals and much more! Yay!
