Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Zurich late march
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi all,

We’re looking for a family friendly (3 and 5 year old) ski resort near Zurich airport. It’ll be in late march so high altitude key.

We are looking at Aletsch Arena but any resort recommendations would be very gratefully received.

Thanks!

@thomasonad, well Aletsch is not really near the airport. Are you getting a hire car or train?

Either, 3hr max transfer ideally!

@thomasonad, do you need childcare? Ski school?

Hi, Yes to ski school. This will be their first ski trip.

Ideally somewhere family friendly but with high altitude (given its relatively late season) and not heinously expensive! My wife and I are experienced skiers. Altesch seems to tick most boxes?

Late March is not really late season, most places, most years, will still have plenty of snow then. Not sure why you'd be thinking of Aletsch Arena, at nearly four hours away, there's plenty a lot closer.

You could try Engleberg, but maybe not so good for first-time kids - the main beginners area of Klostermatte, at village level, 1000m, stays good until the sun gets it, which it will have by then, and the other area at Gerschnialp is more limited and separate from the main ski areas, so awkward to meet up. (Lived there for ten years, taught there for five).

Plenty of other small areas, but if you want large and high you could do worse than Flims/Laax, two and a bit hours by train, plenty f everything for everybody. Not taught there but ISTR beginners' areas were easily accessible, led a number of ski club trips and always enjoyed it a lot.

Arosa? I don’t know what heinously expensive means though — it’s Switzerland after all, although it’s not Gstaad or St Moritz at least…

Does it have to be CH? With kids that age i’d be inclined to go to a Kinder Hotel in Serfaus Fiss Ladis.

Second this. Should be just under 3h transfer by car from Zurich airport. A wide range of Kinderhotels there across the budget spectrum.

My advice there would be to stay in Serfaus, as their kids ski school is at the top of the Komperdellbahn at 2000m. And there is a ski depot up there, so you don't have to lug all the gear around with you to and from the hotel. Also great fun for the kids to take the gondola up rather than being dropped off at the bottom of the hill.

Overall a great resort with 50% of slopes above 2000m and very family focused.
