Experience Leukerbad - relaxed living with the family
Child-friendly ski resorts in Valais – relaxed skiing with children
Not every large ski resort is automatically child-friendly.
Especially with children, other things matter more than having as many kilometers of slopes as possible: overview, short distances, safe beginner areas and the possibility to take a break at any time.
Valais offers several ski resorts that are specifically designed for this purpose – thus creating ideal conditions for skiing holidays with children.
What truly makes a child-friendly ski resort
Parents know: A successful ski day with children depends entirely on the surroundings.
Child-friendly ski resorts in Valais are characterized above all by the following points:
clearly separated beginner and practice areas
wide, clearly visible slopes
simple lift systems (magic carpet, short lifts)
Little hustle and bustle at the valley stations
Opportunities for breaks, even in between
Alternatives to skiing (sledding, playing in the snow)
If these factors are right, a day of skiing feels calm and manageable – even with younger children.

-
