But only in Italy will you find the perfect combination of relatively low prices for accommodation and ski passes, beauty, and delicious food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mild climate, well-groomed slopes, and reasonable prices\u2014this is what sets the Dolomite Alps apart from other ski resorts. An extensive network of lifts linking 12 ski areas will keep you from staying in one place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to skiing, visitors can expect great tourist services and a wide variety of entertainment. The Dolomites are the perfect region for skiing, and the best place to get to know northern Italy, by visiting <strong>Milan, Verona, and Venice<\/strong> along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-is-the-best-time-to-ski-in-the-dolomites\"><strong>When is the best time to ski in the Dolomites?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/dolomites-516946_1280-1024x581.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/dolomites-516946_1280-1024x581.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/dolomites-516946_1280-1024x581.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/dolomites-516946_1280-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/dolomites-516946_1280-768x436.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/dolomites-516946_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, in the Alps, the ski season is from November to early May. <strong>November, April, and May<\/strong> are for glacier skiing or high-altitude slopes, which is not suitable for beginners and children. So focus on the classic regular season: <strong>December \u2013 March<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you choose resorts with 100% snowmaking, the best time for skiing is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>December before Christmas<\/strong>, because there is already winter snow, minimum prices, and almost empty slopes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Christmas and just before it<\/strong>, because many spend the holidays at home, and there are still not many people. Prices are already high, but it\u2019s still not crowded.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>January after New Year\u2019s holidays<\/strong>\u2014perfect: few people, prices drop, plenty of snow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>March, especially after the 20th<\/strong>\u2014also a good season, when almost no one is left on the slopes and prices are much lower. The sun may warm the slopes though, and after lunch the snow gets slushy. But the first part of the day is great for skiing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best ski period for a trip with children is <strong>spring break<\/strong> (end of March) and <strong>Christmas week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slopes-and-features-of-ski-areas-in-the-dolomites\"><strong>Slopes and features of ski areas in the Dolomites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mountains-5569031_1280-1024x682.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mountains-5569031_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mountains-5569031_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mountains-5569031_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mountains-5569031_1280-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mountains-5569031_1280-700x465.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mountains-5569031_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dolomites have 1,220 km of slopes and 12 ski areas (resorts) connected by a single ski pass. These resorts are: <strong>Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo, Kronplatz &#8211; Plan de Corones, Alta Badia, Val Gardena\/Alpe di Siusi &#8211; Gr\u00f6den\/Seiser Alm, Val di Fassa-Fassatal\/Carezza, Arabba\/Marmolada Fiemme\/Obereggen, San Martino di Castrozza\/Passo Rolle \u2013 Pass, Valle Isarco \u2013 Eisacktal, Alpe Lusia\/San Pellegrino, Civetta.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slopes for beginners and advanced skiers won\u2019t let you get bored, the surrounding scenery is always stunning, and transfers between resorts are organized by special ski buses, <strong>Skibus<\/strong> (more on that below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please note that in winter 2026, the Olympic Games will be held in the Dolomites, and some resorts will be occupied with competitions and packed with fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-resort-to-choose-for-a-family-holiday\"><strong>Which resort to choose for a family holiday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The question always arises\u2014which is better, or cheaper?<\/strong> If you want better, it\u2019s all about the Italian Dolomites. Ski resorts here have large ski areas and modern lifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But <strong>if you and your family are skiing for the first time<\/strong>, the number of slopes doesn\u2019t really matter. At first, you\u2019ll be using the blue slopes for learning. If you can already ski a bit, variety will be important because the conditions on the slopes can vary, so it\u2019s good to have options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s better to choose a large ski area (that\u2019s more than 100 km of linked slopes, connected not only by ski pass, but with ski-in\/ski-out access). For this, the <strong>Sella Ronda<\/strong> ski area is ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The best resorts for a holiday with kids<\/strong> are those with lots of different runs in the forest zone and at the edge of the forest.

Others require transportation in between. You can come here year after year and discover new slopes\u2014there\u2019s no way to try them all in one trip. The diversity here is simply crazy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><strong>Val Gardena<\/strong><\/strong> (the most expensive of all areas, but with plenty of slopes of varying difficulty)\u2014the best option if your family wants a good balance of runs for kids\/beginners and opportunities for advanced adults.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><strong>Alta Badia<\/strong><\/strong> (plenty of blue slopes\u2014perfect for beginners)\u2014come here if you can&#8217;t ski yet and book instructors in advance, who will quickly get you started. It&#8217;s an ideal place for first steps on skis and a relaxed holiday with comfort and mountain charm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><strong>Arabba\/Marmolada<\/strong><\/strong> (too much shade and black slopes\u2014not for the faint-hearted)\u2014these are slopes for professionals and those with more &#8220;mountain&#8221; experience. If you have children\u2014choose the gentle slopes of <strong>Monte Cherz<\/strong>, otherwise be ready for tough runs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Val di Fassa<\/strong> (perfect for prices and variety)\u2014in the Val di Fassa valley, skiers who are already steady can test their beginner skills. There aren\u2019t any true \u201cgreen\u201d slopes, but the fairly gentle part of the slope will suit beginners. A good choice for those who want stability, mountain breakfasts, flexibility, and convenient accommodation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can live anywhere and ski anywhere\u2014just travel around by ski (that\u2019s the main point of Sella Ronda).

It all depends on your and your children&#8217;s skill level. If you are ready for steep slopes and can manage in bad conditions, choose a glacier resort. But if you\u2019re a beginner\u2014don\u2019t go up there. High-altitude slopes are great in good weather. But the weather is changeable; there could be a cold snap or heavy snow even in milder conditions. Don\u2019t take risks if you\u2019re not confident, and especially don\u2019t drag your kids up top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even just with gray skies and no sun, skiing becomes unpleasant because you can\u2019t see details on the snowcover. There&#8217;s also altitude sickness at high elevations\u2014it can get bad if you immediately ascend above 3,000 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So there\u2019s no need to chase the highest resort. Ideally, the resort slopes are in the forest\u2014at the border of trees and the alpine meadow\u2014and above, on the open slopes. In bad weather, you can just ski lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-what-age-can-you-take-children-skiing-to-actually-ski\"><strong>From what age can you take children skiing to actually ski?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve seen plenty of small children, for example five-year-olds, confidently skiing on mountain slopes. So, parents who love to ski try to get their children on skis starting around age five. Getting them on skis means hiring professional instructors to do it. Should you start a child even younger? It\u2019s considered that kids under 5 don\u2019t have the muscular development for this kind of load. The child tires quickly and lacks confident coordination (which is important for safety). If you start learning at age 8\u2014you can teach a child in a few days, and then go skiing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-kids-need-to-learn-with-an-instructor\"><strong>Do kids need to learn with an instructor?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are skiing for the first time (adults or children)\u2014it\u2019s best to take an instructor who will teach you. You can start in a small group\u2014it\u2019s cheaper. Groups for kids and adults are different. Then, for a day or two, book a private instructor who will quickly get you skiing confidently. First, it\u2019s about safety, and second, you\u2019ll quickly move up to the next level for more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-save-on-and-what-not-to\"><strong>What to save on\u2014and what not to?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/601683882.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/601683882.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/601683882.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/601683882-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/601683882-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/601683882-700x465.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you\u2019re a beginner, absolutely <strong>don\u2019t skimp on an instructor<\/strong>. This is your safety and your ability to get real enjoyment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Equipment<\/strong> \u2013 if you\u2019re a beginner, you might not need to buy your own skis right away. First learn with rentals, and then decide whether or not to buy. But a helmet is mandatory for everyone\u2014in Italy, for example, you won\u2019t be allowed on the lift without one. We bought our own; they don\u2019t take up much space in the car, and it\u2019s more hygienic to wear your own, given that heads sweat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medical insurance<\/strong> \u2013 never skimp on <strong>sports insurance<\/strong>. It could save you a lot of money for an emergency evacuation, or even your life in an emergency. Also, make sure your policy includes <strong>personal liability coverage<\/strong>, because in Europe, in a collision with another skier it might be very useful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accommodation<\/strong> \u2013 you can save by <strong>staying in apartments<\/strong> with your own kitchen. You\u2019ll save on hotel stars and dinners\/breakfasts by cooking together as a family. Or look for accommodation that offers full or half board\u2014it can also be cheaper than hotels plus restaurants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smaller resorts often offer package <strong>deals for accommodation + ski pass<\/strong> almost at the price of the ski pass alone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At restaurants for lunch, ask for the <strong>menu of the day<\/strong>\u2014for a small price you\u2019ll be offered first+second course and a coffee or wine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Look for resort deals.<\/strong> Many resorts offer interesting discounts\u2014seasonal, family, age-related, for online purchases, discounts from hotels (1 day free), early booking (sometimes up to 30%).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Logistics<\/strong>\u2014compare what\u2019s more advantageous for your family: to come by car, or fly to Milan, Verona, Venice and rent a car. Or take a transfer to the resort and use the free ski bus\u2014it all depends on where you\u2019ve booked your accommodation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful materials on journeys6senses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/en\/where-to-stay-in-milan\/\">Where to stay in Milan: districts and tips<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 a good base and starting point if you fly into Milan airport.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/en\/venice-for-three-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Venice \u2013 independent travel for three days<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 for those flying into Venice airport.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/en\/verona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Verona \u2013 what to do in Italy&#8217;s most romantic city<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 this magical city is sure to be on your route.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Car rental\u2014budget options at&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/cars\/index.html?aid=1145018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rentalcars.com<\/a><\/strong><br><strong>Hotels&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 I always book through&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/index.html?aid=1142978\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Booking.com<\/a><\/strong><br><strong>Insurance&nbsp;<\/strong>can be purchased at&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hotline.finance\/ua\/?utm_source=postaffiliatepro&amp;utm_medium=cpa&amp;a_aid=6696307684ee5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hotline.Finance<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-subscribe-on-nbsp-facebook-nbsp-and-nbsp-instagram\">Subscribe on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/journeys6senses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/savinairyna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plan your family ski holiday by skiing with children in the Dolomites.
