Family skiing

Are you looking for a family break that is a little bit out of the ordinary? Well why not take a look at a skiing or snow sport holiday? We’re all about skiing here at Dare 2b, and here are some of our top reasons why you should be booking a family ski holiday this year.

Our Top 4 Reasons for Booking a Family Ski Break

  • Building Lifelong Skills
  •   

    There’s something for everyone on the slopes, so if you and your family are beginners there’s no need to worry. There are plenty of starter slopes at every resort, with plenty of training and lessons for people of all ages.

     

    Once you and your family have grasped the basic skills, you’re free to build on them and these kind of skills are something that can stick with you all forever. You can even bring those skills home with you and spend more quality time developing those skills at indoor snow centres around the country.

     

  • Special Bonding Time
  •  

    Talking about quality time, that’s one of the main reasons you look to book a family holiday. It’s some time that you can solely focus on each other and having fun, without any of the worries and pressures from everyday life.

     

    Going skiing together is a way of bonding like no other. It’s a week spent in cosy chalets, drinking hot chocolate, eating hearty food and a special experience that is unlike any other holiday. They are memories that all the family will be able to cherish forever.

  • Great Exercise
  • This one is a very obvious point, but skiing is an amazing form of exercise without it feeling like you’re doing a whole lot of exercise at the time. An hour of skiing can actually burn around 5/600 calories, however it feels a lot more fun than going for a run for half an hour.

     

    It could also be a start of your family fitness journey back at home. If you all enjoyed skiing and wanted to carry it on, you could make it a regular thing at an indoor skiing centre.

  • Fantastic Value for Money
  •  

    If you’re a fan of an all-inclusive holiday, then you’ll be glad to know many resorts offer family packages and all-inclusive options. Many of these packages include your flights, accommodation, food, equipment hire and slope access all in one, which means you’re able to budget easier knowing the majority of your essentials are covered.

    It’s important you don’t forget about another essential, and that’s your ski wear. And that’s where we come in! We have ski wear that’s suitable for the whole family. If this is your first ever family ski holidays then these are your essentials...

     

    You’ll need a base layer which will keep you warm and is super stretchy to accommodate all movement.
