If you heard the mountain call this winter, you’re probably planning a trip to a ski resort to enjoy the thrill of going down powdery slopes with your family. But if family fun will surely be a given, so can be soreness, fatigue and stress. So it’s a good occasion to enjoy some time on your own or with your partner to ease your body and soul. Guess what? Mountain Ski & Spa Resorts are the perfect place to pamper yourself while your young ones are having ski lessons or are doing other amazing activities in these kids-friendly winter destinations. Parents can enjoy solo time relaxing in hot pools and spas, doing shopping, or even go on a romantic outing.

Ski resorts generally have it all, activities that the whole family can enjoy together, kids-only activities, and most importantly for you, adult designed treats. Let’s dive deeper into what you can enjoy in your ski and spa resorts, so you can take care of both your physical and mental health!

What can I do in a Ski & Spa Resort?

The activities offered by Ski & Spa Resorts can vary depending on the region and mountain they are in, and of course the resort amenities themselves. It can includes but not limited to:

• Skiing… who would have guessed? Well you can also enjoy cross-country and backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, snowboarding. Some also offer kite-skiing if you’re into it!
• Ice-skating, on or around the resorts.
• Snowmobiling tours and rentings.
• Dog-sledding and sleigh rides.
• Attending performing arts (you can usually find shows for all ages, so kids can enjoy too).
• Shopping, dining and special events in the resorts or in villages nearby.
• Museums and historic tours.
• Swimming pools, hot springs, and Spas!

What can my kids do in a Ski & Spa Resort?

If you have kids, I highly recommend to select a kids-friendly place where they can be taken care of when you enjoy time on your own, and where they can find tailored-made activities for them. If almost all resorts have ski lessons for kids, some extend their offer to daycare services! Here are some activities your little munchkins can do with you or while you’re enjoying some well-deserved time alone:

• Swimming pools
• Snow fort large enough for kids to play in it, snow sculptures and ice castles
• Tubing, sleigh ride, dog sledding, horseback riding in snow, ice skating, scenic gondola rides
• Factory tours, nature centers with fun exhibits, children’s museum
• Fat biking, indoor rock climbing, ziplines, roller coasters through snowy landscapes
• Art classes such as making your own candle, soap or pottery
