What could be more fun than going on winter sports with the whole family? Many ski areas are especially aimed at children. We have listed the nicest child-friendly winter sports areas for you.

You just have to choose.

1. Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis (Austria – Tyrol)

Children never get bored in this ski area. They can go tobogganing, snow tubing on a giant rubber tire and of course skiing. There are also plenty of ski schools with Dutch instructors, there is childcare and there are even two children’s restaurants: Murmlirest and Starrest. The best food can be found in these Winter Wonderland-themed eateries.

2. Saalbach-Hinterglemm (Austria – Salzburger Land)

There are plenty of child-friendly accommodations here. There is also a ski school especially for children where they can follow Dutch-language ski lessons. Also nice: the village of Leogang. Ideal for inexperienced skiers, because it is quiet and well-arranged.

3. Brandnertal (Austria – Vorarlberg)

Quiet, affordable and you don’t have to spend long in the car: you can drive there from Utrecht in about 7 hours. Many of the slopes are on southern slopes, so the snow quality is not always 100% in the afternoon. Nice: you always ski in the sun.

In this huge area, children up to and including 5 years old are free.

This way you can quickly check how your children are doing in the ski class between skiing.

5. Espace Killy (France)

With its great snow security, ski lessons in Dutch and many family facilities, Espace Killy is a great winter sports area for families with children. Tip: ski villages Tignes and Val d’Isère are the most child-friendly.

6. Grisons (Switzerland)

The ski villages in this area have special family programs, children’s ski clubs, children’s ski villages and fun activities such as snow tubing and geocaching. Ski village Laax is absolutely fantastic, because here you will find something for everyone: from crazy giga-halfpipes for the daredevils to the fun Snow Wonderlands for toddlers.

7. South Bohemia (Czech Republic)

South Bohemia is an emerging ski resort, where you will find cosy, modern family accommodations at a reasonable price. Nature is beautiful and if you have your skates with you, you can also make a round on the ice here.

In addition to skiing, children can go ice karting, horse riding, swim in an indoor swimming pool or climb in the climbing forest.

Do you want to go to the snow for a few days, but don’t want to drive far? Then Winterberg, just across the border, is the perfect winter sports destination.

With 11 ski lifts and 16 kilometers of slopes, it is not big, but you can be sure that you can enjoy yourself here with the whole family. entertain. You can also take lessons at one of the many ski schools and there are two special toboggan lifts.

10. Lipno – Kramolin (Czech Republic)

Another gem in the Czech Republic: in this area you will find dozens of blue slopes, so it is ideal for children. At the bottom of the chairlift you will find the Fox Park, where children can let off steam in a playhouse, merry-go-round and a slalom course with snow tunnel.

11. Zillertal Arena – Austria

Very popular among the Dutch. Not surprising, because all ski villages are high up so there is almost always snow. Königsleiten in particular is ideal for children who still have to learn to ski: in kinderland they don’t have to climb a mountain yet and the teachers simply speak Dutch.
