One Family Trip, Fewer Things to Coordinate
A family ski holiday involves more than booking lessons.
You need equipment in different sizes, warm clothing, suitable instructors, hotel rooms, transfers, meals, and a schedule that works for both adults and children.
The Premium Family Package brings those elements together in one itinerary while keeping the focus on learning and enjoying Gulmarg as a family.
Is the Premium Family Package Right for You?
This package works well for families who:
- Are visiting Gulmarg primarily to ski or snowboard
- Have children learning for the first time
- Have adults and children at different ability levels
- Want lessons and accommodation coordinated together
- Prefer a comfortable hotel without choosing the highest accommodation tier
- Want most of the bulky ski equipment and outerwear arranged locally
Families do not need to arrive at the same ability level.

A Compact Family Ski Break

Best for: Families who want skiing or snowboarding to be the main focus of their holiday
Ask About the 7-Day PackageLessons That Fit Different Ages and Abilities
Parents and children do not always learn at the same pace.
Depending on your family's ages, ability levels, and group size, separate instruction can be arranged so that each part of the family can learn at an appropriate pace.
For example:
- Younger beginners can focus on balance and basic movement
- Older children can work through beginner progression
- First-time parents can learn separately
- More experienced adults can receive instruction suited to their level
Tell us everyone's ages and experience when booking so we can recommend the right lesson structure.

Families should still bring personal essentials such as:
- Thermal base layers
- Warm socks
- Gloves or mittens where required
- Warm hats
- Comfortable winter footwear

Your Family Doesn't Have to Ski at the Same Level
One parent may already ski while the children are complete beginners. One child may want to snowboard while another wants to ski.
That's fine.
Lesson arrangements can be built around:
- First-time children
- Beginner adults
- Different ski and snowboard preferences
- More experienced family members
- Family members who do not want lessons every day
Tell us the details when you inquire so the itinerary can be structured appropriately.
Not Everyone Has to Spend Every Day on the Slopes
