Whether you’re travelling with young children, teenagers, or grandparents, Ski Vertigo provides the ideal accommodation, tailored family services, and expert local knowledge to ensure every member of your family has a fantastic time. In this guide, we’ll explore what makes Val d’Isere a top destination for family skiing, the activities on offer, the best slopes for beginners and children, and how our in-chalet childcare with our sister brand, Ski Famille, brings an extra layer of relaxation to your holiday.

Why Choose Val d’Isere for a Family Ski Holiday?

Val d’Isère is part of the formerly known Espace Killy ski area, which links with neighbouring Tignes to provide over 300km of pistes. While it is famous for its challenging terrain and status as a world-class resort, Val d’Isere is also exceptionally well-suited to families.

First and foremost, the resort boasts a wide variety of gentle green and blue runs that are perfect for children and beginner skiers. The village itself is charming and pedestrian-friendly, with a family-focused atmosphere that makes it easy to get around with little ones in tow.

Add to this the excellent ski schools, nursery slopes, family-friendly restaurants, and off-slope activities for all ages, and it’s easy to see why Val d’Isere is a favourite with families returning year after year.

Family Activities in Val d’Isère

When you’re not on the slopes, Val d’Isère has a wide range of activities to keep the whole family entertained. These include:

1. Centre Aquasportif

This state-of-the-art leisure centre in the heart of the village offers swimming pools, a paddling pool for toddlers, spa facilities for parents, and indoor sports courts. It’s a perfect option for rest days or après-ski fun.

2. Dog Sledding

An unforgettable experience for children and adults alike. Explore the snowy landscapes while being pulled by a team of friendly huskies.

3. Ice Skating

The outdoor ice rink in the centre of Val d’Isère is a fun way for kids to enjoy the alpine atmosphere. Skate hire is available on-site.

4. Tobogganing and Sledging

There are several dedicated sledging areas in Val d’Isère where children can safely enjoy the thrills of sliding downhill.

5. Cinema and Events

The resort hosts regular family-friendly events and screenings at the local cinema, including children’s films in English during peak weeks.

Green and Blue Slopes for Children and Beginners

Val d’Isère offers a fantastic range of beginner-friendly terrain, making it ideal for children who are just learning to ski. The resort has several nursery zones and gentle slopes specifically designed for learners.

1. La Solaise Beginner Zone

Accessed by the Solaise gondola, this area offers a spacious and well-protected zone for beginners. It includes magic carpets, gentle slopes, and breathtaking views. The area is specifically designed for learners and is ideal for families with young children.

2. Village and Savonnette Slopes

Located near the centre of town, these two short green runs are serviced by free lifts and are great for practising those first turns close to your accommodation.

3. Verte (Green) and Madeleine (Blue) Runs

The Verte run down from Bellevarde and the Madeleine blue run from Solaise offer slightly more challenge for progressing skiers, but remain manageable for confident children who have a few lessons under their belts.

4. The Ski Schools

Val d’Isère is home to excellent ski schools with English-speaking instructors, such as ESF and Oxygène. They offer group and private lessons for children starting from as young as three years old. Most schools have designated beginner areas to make learning safe and fun.
