All ski resorts have skiing and snowboarding slopes for beginners, but you’ll have a lot more fun if you go somewhere that offers a wider range of easy runs. This way, you won’t get bored going down the same green run over and over. If you’ve got kids in tow, make sure to pick a resort where it’s possible to ski in and out of your accommodation. Walking long distance in snow boots is hard enough for adults, let alone junior skiers.
If you’re taking little kids for their first ski holiday, Avoriaz is ideal. The resort is completely pedestrianised, making it much safer for kids to explore, has numerous snow gardens and playgrounds for the little ones to get acquainted to skiing in a safe area, and has the Aquariaz water park for some slippery fun of a different kind. It’s also got access to a huge ski area of 650km that extends into Switzerland, so it’s hard to imagine getting bored. You can also ride around the town in a horse-drawn sleigh, which is fun for everyone.
