Curated Peaks
Honest, useful guides to luxury family ski holidays in the Alps. Real resort write-ups and the insider detail that actually helps you choose. Written by skiers, for families.
Why Curated Peaks
We have spent over a decade in the Alps and the ski industry, and arranged literally thousands of luxury family holidays along the way. You learn a lot in that time about what makes a trip work with children. This is what we have learned, shared honestly.
Where to ski
Four countries, ten resorts to start, and proper write-ups for each. We have only included places we know well enough to recommend with our hands on our hearts.
The biggest ski areas in the Alps and arguably the best snow record. France is where most British families end up, and for very good reason.
4 resorts
Discreet Swiss luxury, with families properly looked after. Picture-postcard villages, exceptional hotels, and skiing to match the setting.
2 resorts
The warmest welcome in the Alps. Hearty food, proper apres, ski schools that have been teaching for generations, and villages that feel genuinely lived-in.

The Dolomites are unlike anywhere else in the Alps. Add long lunches, good wine, and prices that haven't caught up with France: serious value for families.
