Thomson have an excellent reputation for providing family holidays and good value. We have therefore hand-picked some resorts that we feel are ideally suited.

Families can entertain themselves with a host of activities wherever they go; open-air swimming pools, water parks, thermal spas; interesting mountain walks; gentle cycle rides with picnics; summer tobogganing, train rides and cable cars; boating, fishing, waterskiing and windsurfing on the lakes; summer skiing on selected mountains. The possibilities are endless and you can make it as relaxing or as action-packed as you feel. Your Thomson rep will be able to help you plan things to do whilst in resort.

Look out for the “Families” logo which identifies the best resorts for children and activities to keep them happy! We suggest the following resorts and with great beaches (lake or sea) and outdoor activities on and around the lakes and mountains or seaside, almost all our resorts have something to offer for families:

AUSTRIA: Fuschl, Niederau, Zell am See, Lake Wörthersee, Mayrhofen, Söll and Werfenweng

GERMANY: Ruhpolding

ITALY: Garda, Lake Garda Fly Drive, Lido di Jesolo & Peschiera

SLOVENIA: Kranjska Gora, Portoroz & Thermal Riviera

SPAIN: Nerja

SWITZERLAND: Grindelwald, Leysin & Wengen

We have negotiated special deals with some of our hotels (as well as all of our self-catering accommodation) that allow us to offer some low prices & free places. To make the most of our family offers just look out for our “FREE KIDS” logo on relevant hotel photos. They are available in the selected properties when a first or second child shares a room with 2 full fare paying adults. See pages Terms & Conditions for all details and qualifying conditions. Children staying at other accommodation will still benefit from a separate level of discounts called ‘European Value Hotels’ and the reductions are shown below.
