This guide is super helpful. As is your whole site! Could I ask for more recs for ski/alps holiday with kids in Switzerland or France or Italy, especially little kids. Still not sure where to go… Hope to travel by train rather than rent car. I am envisioning someplace snowy with beauty and charm, a bunny slope with t-bar type thing, great little food shops and restaurants, sledding opportunities, possibly a family-friendly spa/pool. Would want to rent a small house/chalet or apartment. Would be grateful for any advice! Great memories of skiing in Vermont and Vail — hoping to introduce my (now UK-based) family to the joys of snowy mountain life.

Loved this post Yolanda and dreaming of all of it. We did a family trip to Wengen a few years ago in July and we all say it was the best trip we ever had. There is so much to see in that region by cable car, cogwheel train and foot that we needed more than the 7 days. The highlights were the small town of Gimmelwald, ( lunch at a darling inn), and going up to the Jungfrau by train and then walking from halfway down the mountain on the most incredible trail that was like Sound of Music. Having lunch outdoors at the end of the walk in Kleine Scheidegg ,under the watch of the glaciers and charming old hotels was top of our list!

I loved this newsletter so much! I am currently living in California and this transported me to the kind of winter wonderland that I so desperately miss being on the west coast (the snow, the slopes, the chic fur-clad women!) Also, the Italian Alps are quite under appreciated in my opinion so I love when you write about them! As always, thank you for letting us live vicariously through you!

In reply to nmoezinia@gmail.com. Hi! Our friends just went to Lech with their two girls and loved Grand Resort Zurserhof--owner used to own kids toy shops previously and the kids club is other level. they have a kids spa with sauna, cold plunge, and treatments for kids. Kids ski school amazing with a cute competition on the last day. Hope that's helpful!

Yolanda hi! Just starting my kids with skiing- they’ll be 3/5 next year. I’ve skied usually in st Moritz (not kid friendly in my opinion) or lech (so hard to get space over half term). Did you see anything you thought would be amazing for families with young kids?

In Cervinia, we agree 100% about the St Hubertus and have been going there for years. Amazing service, an intimate lobby and bar, and an excellent restaurant as well.

Also, no visit to Cervinia/Zermatt is complete without a ski-in lunch at Chalet Étoile (on the Italian side at Plan Maison) or Bergrestaurant Blatten (on the Zermatt side). Advance bookings are essential for both.

I loved this newsletter. In reality, I love all your newsletters, hungrily devouring them when they arrive, but this one struck a slightly different chord. The way you described researching your Alps trip, how you had to narrow its scope, how excited the research made you and then the reality of having to cancel it. I could feel it all in my bones. And I don’t think it is just because I am in the travel business and have felt those very things myself, but I think it speaks to all of us with travel in our hearts and blood. I could feel your excitement, and your pain, with that Alps experience. Thank you for the constant inspiration and information.
