Archie’s Family Ski Weeks
In Partnership with Momentum Ski
At Archie’s, we believe family ski holidays should be as fun and relaxing for parents as they are exciting for kids. That’s why we created Archie’s Family Ski Weeks - a unique, hosted ski holiday designed around families, where everything is organised for you and everyone gets the best of both worlds.
Our Family Ski Weeks take place in beautiful Alpine resorts in Italy and are built around a simple idea: brilliant skiing, happy kids, relaxed parents, a great social atmosphere and the best value for money around.
How it works
You book your ski holiday as normal through Momentum Ski - accommodation, transfers and ski essentials… but when you arrive, Archie’s is there to take care of the rest.
Each week includes:
Kids Club (ages 4–13)
Our experienced Archie’s team run daily kids club sessions, giving children a chance to make new friends, play games, and enjoy fun, age-appropriate activities. It’s the same high-energy, screen-free Archie’s style, just in the Alps.
Group Ski Lessons for Kids (with local ski school partner)
We arrange group ski lessons so children ski with other Archie’s kids of a similar age and level. It’s sociable, confidence-building, and makes learning to ski even more fun.
Free Time for Parents
While the kids are skiing and in kids club, parents can ski, relax, enjoy long lunches, hit the spa, or simply take some proper downtime — knowing the kids are having an amazing time and are fully looked after.
Hosted Social Experience
You’re travelling with a small group of like-minded families, which means easy friendships, shared dinners, après-ski drinks, and a great social vibe for both adults and kids. As much or as little as you like.
Fully Organised & Stress-Free
We work closely with the hotels, ski schools and local partners to make everything seamless - from kids club rooms and early dinners, to equipment hire and ski school logistics. You just turn up and enjoy.
What makes Archie’s different?
Small, friendly groups of families
Trusted, DBS-checked Archie’s staff
A focus on fun, confidence and independence for kids
Proper downtime for parents
A warm, social atmosphere, not a big impersonal tour
Everything designed around real family life
Who it’s for?
Archie’s Family Ski Weeks are perfect for:
Families with children aged 4–13
Parents who want a ski holiday where kids are genuinely happy
Families who want social, hosted experiences
Parents who want some proper time to ski, relax or switch off
Families new to skiing or seasoned skiers alike
More than just a ski holiday
Our Family Ski Weeks are about more than skiing, they’re about shared memories, new friendships, confidence for kids, and giving parents the chance to properly enjoy a holiday too.
It’s skiing… but with Archie’s magic.
Frequently Asked Questions

Our Family Ski Week is ideal for children aged 4–13 years.
Kids need to be confident enough to take part in group ski lessons and our kids’ club structure. If you have a child slightly younger or older, just get in touch, we’re very happy to advise case-by-case.
For children under 4, we work with a brilliant local crèche run by Dora, which is based on the mountain. It’s also our afternoon HQ, meaning younger children can still be part of the group atmosphere and join in where appropriate, while being cared for in a safe, professional, and child-friendly environment.

Ben Badger - Family Ski Week Easter 2024
“Thanks for an amazing first family ski week. Happy children = happy parents :-) Archie’s extra attention on the first day to get our daughter up to speed to stay with the rest of the group saved the whole trip and the kids are still asking when they can see Madi and Reilly again, who looked after them so incredibly.”
Helen Pearson - Family Ski Week Easter 2023
“We had an absolutely fantastic time with Archy Events in Courmayeur. It was the best family holiday we have ever been on. The AE staff were very professional and gave me full confidence that my children were in good hands. My children had so much fun with the team and the other children that they wanted to extend our holiday for another week. We will definitely book with them again.”
