Does this sound familiar to you? Dad is on the hunt for kilometre-long ski slopes, your child wants to go the children’s ski course to perfect ‘pizza and French fries’, and Mum is looking forward to spending a few hours in the snow and the warm water with her youngest. And it would be nice to hop into the sauna after all that action, so access to spa facilities would be great too.
You have to juggle at least as many requests as there are family members. ALPS RESORTS’ holiday homes and holiday apartments are an exciting option for ski holidays with spa facilities, take a look:
Tips for planning your ski holidays with spa-facilities
In summary: The holiday destination should ideally cover all your needs, i.e.: have
- A ski area for beginners and advanced skiers
- Ski schools and ski hire
- Winter hiking trails and toboggan runs
- Spa facilities inside your private accommodation or at a public spa centre (thermal baths or an adventure pool).
When looking for the perfect holiday destination for your ski and spa holiday, make sure it is easy to reach and conveniently located. If you are travelling by car, find out which toll roads and mountain passes you’ll need to take. Where is the nearest airport or train station, and is it easy to get there? If you know what you’re looking for and which criteria need to be met, you are sure to find your ideal accommodation more quickly – that’s a promise.
Benefits of staying in a holiday home: Peace, flexibility and a refuge from the world
The only thing missing is the right accommodation! Our holiday homes and apartments promise to give you a relaxing ski holiday with spa facilities where you can enjoy a flexible and self-determined break. After a day in the snow or out on the piste, you can retreat to your own quarters and relax. Everyone has plenty of space and peace and quiet to process and reflect on their day. You can conjure up your favourite meal in the comfort of your own fully equipped kitchen or sample the food at a selection of inns and restaurants in the surrounding area --whatever works best for you.
Our holiday homes and apartments with their private spa facilities are real gems. Enjoy pure relaxation in your own sauna, (whirl)pool or hot tub. You can dive into the pool in many of our apartment complexes and boost your immune system by unwinding in a Finnish or bio sauna.
Prime accommodation for family ski holidays with spa facilities
Montafon Suites Schruns 📌 Vorarlberg, Silvretta Montafon
Our first accommodation tip for a ski holiday with spa facilities takes us to the Montafon valley in Vorarlberg. The Silvretta Montafon ski resort delights young and old people alike: It offers 141 kilometres of pistes at all levels of difficulty, a race area, a freeride cross piste, a snow park, an 800 m long freeride route, family-friendly restaurants, ski schools and modern lifts. You can reach the starting point for a toboggan adventure on the Kappell (natural toboggan run, 5 km) by riding on the Hochjoch cable car.
Montafon Suites Schruns are located just 100 m from the Hochjochbahn valley station (cable car station). They are also the starting point for the Montafon Totale Ski (ski circuit spanning 45 km and 10,000 vertical metres) and the Hochjoch Totale, the longest downhill run in Vorarlberg spanning 12 km. The modern aparthotel has high-quality, fully equipped holiday apartments and spa facilities, leaving nothing to be desired. This includes a heated outdoor pool, sauna, steam bath and a relaxation area.
Carpe Solem Rauris 📌 Salzburger Land, Raurisertal
The 32 kilometres of pistes at the Rauris Hochalmbahnen are well-maintained and easy to navigate. You can ski to your heart’s content in the family ski area without needing to worry about impacting the environment: With the help of a power station in the valley, the Hochalmbahnen produces around three-quarters of the renewable electricity for the on-site lift and snowmaking systems. Ski tickets are available to buy online at fair prices.
Ideal location: Carpe Solem Rauris is located next to the valley station for the Rauriser Hochalmbahn, the ski school’s practice area is right on the doorstep, and the hiking trails start right outside the hotel. Ski hire, a ski school and a restaurant are all available at the resort.
The modern holiday apartments are well equipped, the 1,000 m² spa impresses with its indoor pool with children’s pool, panoramic saunas, an alpine roof garden and a fitness room. There is also a playroom for little ones.
Alpendorf Dachstein West 📌 Salzburger Land, Tennengau
The Dachstein West ski resort impresses with 160 kilometres of well-maintained pistes and its range of family activities. These include racetracks, mogul pistes, fun and show parks as well as children’s play areas such as Fuxi’s Kinderland at the Donnerkogelbahn. Sporty skiers can marvel at magnificent views of the Dachstein on the Dachstein Tour which spans 44 km. The region has an abundance of winter hiking trails – some of which start right outside your holiday home (Rainischweg, Höhenweg).
Alpendorf Dachstein West is located on the edge of the forest on the piste, a stone’s throw away from the Donnerkogelbahn valley station and Fuxi’s Kinderland. The cosy holiday homes are fully furnished, some of them even with a fireplace in the living area – giving you that feeling of staying in a winter cabin while you’re on your ski holiday! Relaxation and wellness are top priorities too: In the main building, you can relax in the indoor swimming pool or one of our Finnish saunas.
Ferienpark Kreischberg 📌 Steiermark, Kreischberg/Murau
Holidaymakers can enjoy skiing on 42 kilometres of excellent pistes on the WM-Berg. The pistes have been recognised for their safety measures and first-rate maintenance among other things. The children’s programme has been awarded a prize: The KreischiSafari adventure trail, the Dinopark, the KreischiGeisterbahn ghost run, and the tubing run are sure to make your children’s eyes light up. You will find winter hiking trails in the valley and on the mountain, with three cleared hiking trails starting at the summit station for the Kreischberg cable railway.
It’s easy to get to Kreischberg valley station on foot from the FerienPark Kreischberg with its holiday apartments and holiday homes. You can expect to see an indoor pool, a Finnish sauna and an aroma sauna as well as a relaxation room at the holiday park’s spa. Other ALPS RESORTS in the immediate vicinity of Kreischberg and the holiday park include the Kreischberg Suites, the Kreischberg Chalets (private spa facilities optional) and the Kreischberg Pool Villas (with pool/whirlpool and sauna).
Good planning is half the fun: What do you need to take with you?

- What winter clothes do I need to buy / pack for my children?
- Is it possible to hire a pram or a pushchair for winter hikes on site?
- What about children’s ski courses?
- Where can I hire winter sports equipment?
- Which off-piste winter activities can small children take part in?

- Do you need a bathrobe, flip-flops and extra towels?
