For a quieter and less crowded experience, head to this ski oasis on the Italy-Austria border where over 1200 kilometres of alpine ski runs wild. As 70% of the pistes in Dolomites are suitable for beginners, the slopes are ideal for families and first-time skiers. Kids can attend ski classes at the San Cassiano Ski School. Want more from your ski- schedule? Snowshoeing and ice-climbing are also popular.

Whistler boasts a longer ski season than other resorts, lasting from November to late April, and there’s plenty to keep all the family occupied. The 8,000 acres of terrain comprises gentle and wide ‘motorway’ pistes, tree skiing and steep alpine bowls, and the heli-skiing here is some of the wildest in British Colombia. Other activities include ziplining, dog sledding, ice skating, snowshoeing and bungee jumping.
