A Colorado Family Week Now Costs Five Figures
The Alps run on family pricing instead
Add it up honestly — flights, a week of lodging, four sets of lift tickets, rentals, and a few days of ski school — and a US family ski week at a major resort lands around $10,000 to $11,000, and climbs fast from there. One published example: a family of four spent $847 for a single day at Vail.
European ski culture was built by families, and the pricing shows it. Family ski passes let parents pay child rates, small kids often ski free, and half-board hotels mean dinner for four is already included. We package all of it — with the transatlantic logistics handled — into one booking and one fixed price.
And because family plans deserve a family discount, every Bonvo family package of four or more is priced below the equivalent four individual packages. The bigger the crew, the better the math.

What the Family Week Includes
Built around the two hardest problems: logistics and dinner
Family ski-pass pricing
Alpine resorts sell real family passes — with the family formula, parents can pay the child rate. We handle the paperwork and your passes are at the hotel desk on arrival.
Kids ski school in English
Morning group lessons with English-speaking instructors, booked before you fly. Kids progress all week with the same teacher; you get four hours a day to actually ski.
Connecting family rooms
Hotels we have personally checked for family logistics: connecting rooms or family suites, ski rooms with boot warmers, and a table held for you at dinner every night.
Half-board dinners included
A five-course dinner is included every evening — no 8pm scramble to feed tired kids at resort-town restaurant prices.
Door-to-door private transfers
A van with child seats meets you at the airport. Car seats, luggage, and cranky post-flight kids are all someone else’s driving problem.
Full family travel insurance
Medical, cancellation, and winter-sports coverage for every family member, including ski school and sledding.
Questions Parents Ask
Is a European ski week really cheaper for a family than a US one?
Frequently, yes — published estimates put a family-of-four Colorado ski week at roughly $10,000-11,000+ once lift tickets, lodging, rentals, and lessons are added up. The biggest driver is lift tickets: peak-day tickets at flagship US resorts have passed $350 per person per day, while big Alpine areas charge a fraction of that — and add family-pass discounts on top.
What ages does this work for?
From ski-kindergarten age (about 3-4) upward. Many Alpine resorts let the youngest kids ski free, ski schools take children from age 3, and hotels are used to multi-generation bookings — grandparents welcome, see our Alpine Retreat for the non-skiers.
What about school schedules and jet lag?
Most families fly an overnight east-coast departure, land in Europe mid-morning, and are in the hotel by afternoon — kids adjust in a day. A Saturday-to-Sunday pattern uses only five school days; we plan the calendar with you.
Do the kids need to speak French, Italian or German?
No. We book ski schools with dedicated English-language groups, and Alpine resort staff work in English all season. The only new vocabulary your kids will pick up is hot chocolate in three languages.
