Zermatt Family Ski Vacation

As a popular resort for advanced intermediates and expert skiers, a large sprawling town and host to a monied culinary scene, Zermatt isn’t always family-friendly. The resort has gone to great lengths to smooth over any challenges for families, including many children’s playgrounds, facilities, activities and easy access to childcare in many of the lodges and hotels.

A great place to bring the kids is Wolli’s park for beginners at Sunnegga. If your children have only skied a couple times or are first timers, learning to ski at Wolli Park will be an unforgettable experience. This zone is well protected from wind, warm and sunny. Plus Sunnegga Restaurant is great place for the whole family to grab lunch together.
