One week in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis for two adults and two children (aged 7 and 9), planned as three choices: where to stay, how to get there, and how to ski. Every booking button opens a live search for the example dates, so availability and prices are always current.
| Who it suits | Families with children aged 3 to 12, first to third ski week |
| Example week | Saturday 9 to Saturday 16 January 2027 (high season, before the February school holidays) |
| Base | Fiss (recommended for ages 5 to 10), Serfaus for under-5s, Ladis for budget |
| Getting there | Fly to Innsbruck, about 75 minutes by road |
| Skiing | Dedicated kids' areas plus group lessons |
| Not skiing | Free underground train in Serfaus, Murmlipark, sledging |
Step 1: Choose your base
Each village is a short hop from the same lifts. The difference is who it suits best.
Closest to Berta's Kinderland and easy blue runs, which suits children who have moved past the very first lessons.
Kids' area: Berta's Kinderland.
Ski school: Skischule Fiss-Ladis.
Car-free village with a free underground train to the lifts. The easiest option with toddlers and small children.
Kids' area: Murmlipark in the village and Kinderschneealm above it.
Ski school: Skischule Serfaus.
The quietest of the three and usually the cheapest to stay in. Allow a little more time to reach the main terrain.
Lift pass: the same Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis pass as the other villages.
See stays →Step 2: Choose how to get there
Innsbruck is the closest and most convenient airport, about 93 km and 75 minutes by road. Serfaus has no train station, so most families fly and take a transfer.
About 75 minutes by road. Book a transfer in advance, since reaching the resort without one is far from easy.
Roughly 145 to 185 minutes by road (Friedrichshafen about 145, Zurich and Munich about 180 to 185). Good if flights are cheaper.
Nearest station is Landeck-Zams, about an hour by bus from Serfaus. The bus runs infrequently and stops in the early evening, so plan a taxi as a backup.
Step 3: Lessons and the right slopes
Group lessons start at age 3. Both ski schools fill up in peak weeks, so book early. Children born 2021 or later travel free on the lifts; our children aged 7 and 9 need their own pass.
| Area | Where | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Kinderschneealm | Above Serfaus | Magic carpets and gentle slopes, a large dedicated children's area |
| Berta's Kinderland | Fiss | Connects directly to easy blue runs; run by Skischule Fiss-Ladis |
| Murmlipark | Serfaus village | Flat and sheltered, useful for practice after lessons |
| Underground train (Dorfbahn) | Serfaus | Free, car-free village, carries you to the main lifts |

Rest days and wet afternoons
