How to organize your next family vacation in the mountains?

How to choose your ski resort?

Holidays in the mountains are the long-awaited breath of fresh air in the middle of winter, which rejoices young and old, and which it is best to organize early enough. Some start by taking stock of each other’s equipment. Between Lulu who took 10 cm and who no longer fits in her wetsuit, nor in her après-skis (nothing beats second-hand sites to equip you at a good price! You can also borrow from friends …), and Léo who will be putting on skis for the first time, the organization is essential! While some prefer the big resorts, others are looking above all for a less frequented, quieter and more affordable family resort. To suit the whole family, ask yourself what activities you would like to do apart from skiing and remember to check the websites of the tourist offices of each resort. Find out about the leisure activities offered to children and adults in case, in particular, the weather is not to his advantage or if the youngest does not like skiing in the end … Find out about the level of the slopes (Lulu will ski more easily on a green slope than a red one…), the ease of access to the slopes and to the shops in order to avoid carrying too many cars, and the sanitary facilities of the resort, you never know… Abritel has moreover organized once again this year, the election of the most family friendly. The opportunity to guide you in your choice!

Three ski resorts ideal for families

What makes one ski resort more welcoming to families than another? Here are some unstoppable criteria to meet the needs of families: Varied leisure activities apart from skiing, ski slopes suitable for all levels, easy access to the slopes, activities for children, nearby sanitary facilities and the security of the area. These are the points that were taken into account by Abritel to elect three ideal resorts for families. The three big winners in the category family friendly are La Clusaz in Haute-Savoie, Font-Romeu in the Pyrénées Orientales, and Avoriaz in Haute-Savoie. These resorts offer all the advantages and facilities necessary for a happy and relaxing holiday with the family. On Abritel there are dream chalets ideally located, and spacious enough to accommodate a large tribe. 

And if you prefer to go only with your little family, you can of course also find smaller chalets or apartments on Homeaway, suitable for all budgets. All you have to do is decide where your best snowball fight will be held this year!
