Multi-family ski holidays
A multi-family ski holiday combines all the fun of skiing with the company of friends or extended family.
With separate apartments for privacy and plenty of opportunities to spend time together on and off the slopes, it's a flexible way to create lasting memories while giving everyone the freedom to enjoy their holiday their own way.
Whether you're travelling with another family, a group of friends or several generations of the same family, we've selected resorts and accommodation that are particularly well suited to shared ski adventures.
Why multi-family ski holidays are becoming so popular
The idea is simple. Travel with friends or extended family to the same resort in the French Alps, stay in separate apartments, and share the whole experience together.
It’s a holiday that works for everyone. Kids have built-in playmates, grown-ups get extra help with childcare, and there’s always someone around who’s up for a ski, a spa session or a coffee. You can do things together or take time out, knowing someone else is happy to take the reins for a while.
Multi-family holidays make it easier to try something new. Whether it’s snowshoeing, night-time tobogganing or simply a grown-up dinner while someone else babysits, having company gives you the freedom to explore. It's no surprise that we're seeing more and more families choosing this type of ski holiday, including members of our team.
Why choose a multi-family ski holiday?
There’s always someone to ski with – with a larger group there’s always someone who wants to be doing the same as you. It’s easy to split off into smaller groups so that everyone gets to ski at their own pace. Young children in your family? Adults can take it in turns to entertain young children while others enjoy the slopes.
Evenings to remember – whether it’s games nights, movie marathons or just catching up over a glass of wine or meal, the communal spaces in our self-catered properties make it easy to relax and reconnect after a day on the slopes.
Shared adventures – from fondue in a yurt to snow yoga or an ice hockey match. These shared experiences create lasting memories and stronger friendships.
Confidence in ski school – kids thrive when they’re with friends. A ski holiday with a larger group of families will often mean there is someone they know in the same ski school group, helping them feel more confident and learn faster.
Built-in childcare support – as well as parents taking turns to watch younger children during the day, there is also the opportunity to take turns for evening babysitting duties. Date night anyone?
More variety in group dynamics – kids get to play with different friends, adults can mix and match ski partners, and there's always someone up for a coffee break or après-ski. It keeps things fresh and fun.
Celebrating together – whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or just the joy of being on holiday, celebrating with a group makes it more special. You can even plan a themed dinner or group activity to mark the occasion.
Built-in photographers – more people means more chances to capture those candid moments, someone’s always ready with a camera or phone to snap the perfect shot.
Learning from each other – experienced skiers can help beginners with tips and encouragement, and kids often learn faster when they’re watching and copying their peers.
Stronger bonds – spending quality time together in a beautiful setting helps deepen friendships and family connections. It’s the kind of trip people talk about for years.
