Switzerland is giving away more than 12000 free kids' ski passes

Skiing in Switzerland is famously expensive. That’s why, for the 2018/19 ski season, the official MySwitzerland tourism association is making your ski holidays easier by giving away a whopping 12 770 FREE 6-day lift passes to children aged 6-12! All you have to do is visit the website and register your kids by selecting one of the 45 ski areas in Switzerland. In the event that the number of applicants for a given ski area exceeds the number of ski passes for that same ski area, the lucky winners will be decided by prize draw. The deadline for registering is December 2, 2018 and half of the Kids4Free ski passes are reserved for people who have never skied in Switzerland before.

More info: Skiing in Switzerland

Home to some of the highest ski areas in Europe, Switzerland is one of the best destinations for a ski holiday in the Alps with guaranteed snow. Stunning panoramic views of dozens of jagged mountain peaks reaching over 4000m above sea level set the perfect backdrop for your family ski holiday. Big-name resorts like Saas-Fee Saastal, Laax, Davos and St. Moritz or Zermatt in the shadow of the mighty Matterhorn draw an international jet-set, but Switzerland is also home to many quieter, off-the-beaten-track ski resorts where families will feel right at home. Wherever your kids’ free ski pass takes you, you’re sure to have the perfect ski holiday in Switzerland. And at the end of the day, who can resist tucking into a hearty cheese fondue?

About Danielle

Born and raised in the ski paradise of Vancouver, Canada, I learned to ski before I can remember, balancing precariously on my parents’ skis as they sailed down the hill. I started snowboarding in my teens and am now delighted to be exploring everything Europe’s ski scene has to offer!
