Kosher ski in Europe

Every option for winter 2026–2027 in one place: permanent kosher hotels inside ski resorts, one-off kosher weeks, how they differ — and what to check before you book.

Updated: October 2026

THREE KINDS “Kosher ski” means three different things

Search for a kosher ski vacation in Europe and you find that the word “kosher” hides three different kinds of holiday. The difference decides almost everything — the level of kashrut, Shabbat, who looks after you, and what happens when something goes wrong.

A permanent kosher hotel inside a ski resort

The kitchen is kosher all year, the synagogue and mikveh are part of the building, and the staff are used to observant guests. This is the rarest kind in Europe — you can count these hotels on one hand.

A whole hotel taken over for a week

An Israeli or Jewish operator takes a regular hotel, kashers the kitchen and brings a mashgiach, a team and a minyan — for one or two weeks a year (Chanukah, February, Passover). Done well, it is a full kosher experience in a resort that has no permanent kosher hotel.

Kosher catering in a regular hotel

Meals are brought in or cooked in a kosher corner, but the hotel itself, the other guests and the main kitchen are not kosher. Fine for flexible individuals, less so for families and for Shabbat.

THE OPTIONS The options for winter 2026–2027

The list includes vacations we do not sell. Details about other operators come from their own published pages for this season — dates, supervision and inclusions change from year to year, so verify them with the organizer.

BEFORE YOU BOOK What to check before you book

Seven questions that separate a good kosher vacation from a surprise on arrival:

FAQ Frequently asked questions about kosher ski in Europe

Where can you ski kosher in Europe?

A permanent kosher hotel inside a ski resort is rare in Europe. Har Tayarut runs two kosher ski vacations: Canazei in the Dolomites (Italy) at MY KOSHER HOTEL — a permanent 4-star glatt mehadrin kosher hotel in the heart of Dolomiti Superski, with weekly departures all winter — and La Plagne in the French Alps (Paradiski), in a hotel that is entirely ours for one week before Passover. In Switzerland a long-established kosher hotel operates in Arosa, and various operators run one-off kosher weeks over Chanukah and Passover in resorts such as Courchevel, Cervinia or Kaprun.

Is there a permanent kosher hotel inside a ski resort in Europe?

Yes, but very few. MY KOSHER HOTEL in Alba di Canazei (Dolomites, Italy) is a permanent 4-star glatt mehadrin kosher hotel with an on-site mashgiach, a synagogue and a mikveh, inside the Val di Fassa – Carezza ski area. In Switzerland, Levin’s Kosher Metropol operates in Arosa. Most other options are a regular hotel kashered for a single week.

Which kosher ski resort is best for families with children?

Both of our destinations were built for families: Canazei has a ski school, a snow garden, wide beginner slopes and a hotel with family rooms, a pool and a Hebrew-speaking team; La Plagne is regularly ranked among the best family ski resorts in Europe — easy learning areas, ski-in ski-out from the hotel, and 425 km of pistes for the parents. The difference: Canazei all winter, La Plagne one week before Passover.

Should I book directly with the hotel or through a package from Israel?

A direct booking with a kosher hotel covers accommodation and meals only; flights, airport transfers, the ski pass and on-site support are left to you. A Har Tayarut package bundles all of them in one booking, with a Hebrew-speaking team at the hotel and an organized Shabbat. The right comparison is the full cost for the same dates — not a room rate against a package price.

What is the difference between a permanent kosher hotel and a one-off kosher week?

In a permanent kosher hotel the kitchen is kosher all year, the synagogue and mikveh are part of the hotel, and the staff are used to observant guests. In a one-off week an operator kashers a regular hotel for a week: the standard depends entirely on the operator — who the mashgiach is, whether there is a daily minyan, and what happens on Shabbat. That is why every detail of a one-off week should be verified in advance.
