How the deal works
When an adult rents with a partner shop, the shop lets children rent for free, so a family ski holiday costs less. The deal changes from shop to shop, but it comes in three main flavours:
- 1 adult, 1 free child. The simplest one.
- 2 adults, 2 free children. Perfect for two parents with two kids.
- 2 adults, 1 free child. A bit stingier, still free.
A few shops ask for 3 adults before a child skis free. The exact rule is shown on each shop’s page.
Where you’ll find it
Austria is the kids-free capital for family ski holidays. More than 80 partner shops there have the deal, in resorts like St. Anton, Ischgl, Sölden, Saalbach, Schladming, Obertauern and Kitzbühel. You’ll also find it in Switzerland (Saas-Fee, Grindelwald, Veysonnaz), Italy (Breuil-Cervinia, Livigno), Spain (Sierra Nevada), Bulgaria (Bansko) and Andorra (Pas de la Casa).
Each shop sets its own deal, and deals can change from season to season. This list is based on partner shop data from November 2026, so check the shop’s page before you book.
How old is “a kid”?
At most shops, children ski free up to age 10. Some stop earlier, at 5, 6 or 8. A few go further: Grindelwald and Breuil-Cervinia (Cervinia 2001) go up to 12, and one shop in Werfenweng goes up to 14. The age limit is always shown next to the deal, so there are no surprises at pick-up.
Spot it when you book
Search your resort on alpy.com. Shops with a kids-free deal show it on their page, for example “One adult enables one free child until the age of 10 years”. Add the adults, add the kids, and the deal is already counted.
Plans change with kids
Every booking comes with free cancellation until 8am the day before your first rental day. Because a sudden fever doesn’t check your family’s holiday calendar first. For extra peace of mind, you can add ALPINFLEXI when you book (5% of your rental, sometimes free with promotions).
