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.

    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.”
