Family ski holidays across Italy’s best Alpine resorts
Incredible food, stunning scenery, and slopes for all abilities
The best pick for peaceful half-term breaks
Italy might not be the first country that springs to mind for a family ski holiday, but we’re here to prove it absolutely should be. When it comes to Italian family ski resorts, things tend to be a lot quieter than over in France and Austria. Italian children are still at school during half-term, prices are often more competitive, and the food - oh, the FOOD. Well, what kid is saying no to dinners of pizza and pasta on repeat? Add in some fantastic skiing, great accommodation options, and a famously warm welcome, and Italy is an outstanding choice for families.

Where are the best ski resorts in Italy for families?
Classic Italian family ski holiday -Pila in the Aosta Valley is only reachable by gondola from the pretty medieval town of Aosta below. Compact, cheap, friendly, and brilliantly set up for families, it’s a firm Heidi favourite for good reason.
Easy access to the slopes - Sitting directly on the train line from Turin,Bardonecchia transfers are about as painless as they get. A proper Italian mountain town with wide beginner slopes, great food, and a friendly local atmosphere, it’s a brilliant pick for first-time family ski trips.
For the explorers -La Thuile is linked to La Rosière in France, giving your little rippers access to more slopes than they’ll know what to do with. Gentle runs for young learners, a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and the option to ski into France for lunch if you fancy a change of scenery. This is a true explorer’s paradise.
