Best family ski resorts in Italy

A great family resort is more than a kids' club: it wants gentle, wide runs, genuine beginner terrain, and a village that is safe to walk around, ideally car-free or ski-in/ski-out. These 14 resorts in Italy score highest on exactly that, each with slope-side hotels you can compare in one click.

The top family pick in this list is Andalo, in Italian Alps: gentle terrain, easy lift-served beginner zones and a base that keeps small skiers close to the door.
