Wondering where to take the family during this year’s Easter break? Sometimes an adventure holiday is just what a family needs to re-energize them for tackling the rest of the upcoming school or work year. The best Easter break destinations are in fact a little off the beaten trail, offering smaller crowds and more exciting and unique activities. This year families are heading to Åre, Sweden, St Martin de Belleville, France or La Villa in the gorgeous Italian Dolomites. Each resort has its own style and local flavour which only add to the intrigue of the adventure.
Åre, SwedenÅre, without a doubt, is a skiing family’s paradise, and just about the most perfect Easter break destination! With 110 ski runs and 42 lifts, Åre is Scandinavia’s largest and most popular ski resort, especially for families. The slopes and forests provide a variety of runs and challenges for skiers of all levels. Skiing lessons are offered for beginners or for those hoping to improve their skills in preparation for hitting the pistes.Åre also gets top marks for its extensive list of activities available once you put your skis away for the day. Some lesser known activities such as ‘snowbiking’ or ‘airboarding’ may become your latest favourite pursuit. There are also opportunities to try snowmobiling, dog sledding, and night skiing, stargazing, or even snowshoeing. Family-friendly excursions at night to find the Aurora Borealis create some lasting memories and they are always accompanied by hot cocoa for that extra element of hygge!
