Family-friendly ski holidays

Our focus at SkiStar is on families, and our ski resorts have been especially tailored to ensure your whole family will enjoy your holiday. Many of our hotels, apartments and cabins are located right next to ski lifts and slopes so that all you have to do is put your skis on and glide straight onto the snow. A large number of locations also offer restaurants, shops, activities and entertainment options within walking distance.

Children's Ski School with Valle the Snowman

Valle's childcare

A number of our ski resorts offer childcare. The childcare facilities are located right by the ski slopes and all of our staff are trained children's activity leaders. We offer a safe environment where children can do art, watch films and play with other children. Baby-minding is available in Sälen for babies over 6 months old. You can leave your sleeping child in its buggy while you go skiing nearby.

Ski areas tailored to children

All our ski destinations offers large children's and beginner's ski areas. The slopes are gentle and the lifts are slow enough for everyone to get on without a problem. There are conveyor belts and practice lifts for the little ones and the slopes feature soft statues that help make it fun to practice turns and stops. Adjacent to the children's areas there are also heated shelters and toilets, so it's easy to take a break if your little one's legs get tired. In addition to the children's ski areas, many of our skiing destinations feature large button lift systems, which means that you can get to even the bigger slopes just by button lift.
