Which are the best destinations in the Dolomites for a family ski holiday? Where can children ski safely? There are a few simple criteria that make some resorts more suitable for families and for a winter holiday with kids. Among the most important are lower altitudes, which usually offer milder temperatures and, ideally, plenty of sunshine throughout the day so that children don’t get too cold. Moreover, very large ski areas and wide valleys can make it difficult to meet up easily at the end of the day or after ski lessons at the baby school.
For those skiing alone with children, without an instructor, it is better to choose resorts with gentle slopes, so that you can ski safely with kids for most of the day.
Alpe di Siusi (South Tyrol)
A sunny ski resort with easy slopes and gentle terrain ideal for children. One of the most popular destinations for introducing little ones to skiing.
Tre Cime Dolomiti
Monte Baranci, located in the heart of San Candido, is perfect for families, offering five ski lifts and a toboggan run.
Andalo (Trentino)
Designed for families, Andalo is a convenient and well‑equipped resort. From family‑friendly hotels with dedicated services to ski schools, four beginner areas (two in the village and two at higher altitude), and three snow playgrounds with inflatables and tubing slopes. Everything here is tailored to children.
Alleghe and the Civetta Ski Area (Belluno)
Wide and easy slopes suitable for everyone, ski schools for the little ones, and the brand‑new Ally Farm snow playground with specialised staff at Piani di Pezzè in Alleghe. The Civetta ski area is a true paradise for families, able to meet a wide range of needs.
