Winter vacation with children: Creative ideas for when skiing and the like fall through

Winter handicrafts are fun, encourage creativity and banish gloomy hours in no time at all. Enchanting works of art are created with simple means:

• Snowflake mobiles
  Snowflakes cut out of paper become wintry mobiles that will enchant any hotel room.

• 3D winter landscapes with glitter and absorbent cotton
  Make snow landscapes that can be used as cards or decorations - a creative break from the winter weather.

• Snowman handprints
  Small hands, big impact: create funny snowmen on paper with white paint and a few colorful pens.

• Paper snails & animal figures
  With a little imagination, empty toilet rolls can be turned into cute animals that will make children's hearts beat faster.

• Soap bubbles in the room
  With washing-up liquid, water and a straw, children can easily conjure up little mountains of bubbles - great fun indoors too!

There are also numerous weather-independent activities outside the accommodation:

• Indoor playgrounds
  Playing and climbing, even when it's raining outside - indoor playgrounds are ideal places to go.

• Adventure pools
  Slides, splashing around and swimming bring exercise and a good mood - even on a winter vacation.

• Childcare and entertainment programs
  Many family hotels offer supervised activities, craft lessons or mini clubs - just ask at reception.
