With a little planning before you arrive, skiing can be a fantastic family holiday. Childcare facilities and ski school do get very busy so if possible book well in advance. However, we know the kid’s can get bored quickly, and if that’s the case why not take them to do something out of the ordinary.

Where to stay
Aparthotel Anton is located right next to Galzigbahn so you don't have to commute far to get on the mountain in the morning - great for little ones with tired legs.
Inghams have a number of chalets and apartments plus the odd hotel. Children under 18 have free insurance so long as the adults take out Inghams insurance (Saturday flights).
Top ski school tips
- Children generally can start skiing from around four years old (older for snowboarding)
- Young children, or those new to skiing, may only manage half a day - it can be very tiring when they're not used to it
- Plenty of high factor suncream is essential - factor 30+ and water resistant
- Younger eyes are more sensitive so it is important to make kids wear good quality sunglasses or goggles all the time. If you only plan to buy one or the other, buy goggles.
- If possible, book with an instructor who speaks good English so your child can understand the instructions and if there's a problem, they can understand it
