Grand Targhee Resort in Alta, WY

If you’ve thought about taking a vacation in a winter wonderland with your family Grand Targhee is a place you need to check out. Being a family-friendly resort, there are a multitude of things to do for all age ranges. It’s located in Alta, WY; making it a special place because you have to drive through parts of Idaho to get there! I remember visiting Grand Targhee when I was a kid and thinking that was the coolest thing! I made sure to share that with my friends once I returned home. Come and see the gorgeous Teton view while relaxing slopeside style!

Grand Targhee has lodging right on the mountain and even some rental properties in the surrounding town below the mountain. You can find deals for lodging at the resort on their website. They have a running special for the winter in which you receive your 4th night free if you book three consecutive days in a row at one of their vacation rental properties. For more information on lodging, you can call 1-800-827-4433. Another plus to staying at the resort is getting to use the outdoor heated saltwater pool and hot tub to soothe your muscles after a long day of skiing. There is also a Fitness Center to help you continue your routine during your stay.

If anyone in your family is in need of refreshing your winter muscles, ski and snowboard lessons are available. Children as young as 3 ½ can begin lessons and play with other children in daycare with licensed staff. Grand Targhee makes it easy for you to provide a day of fun without stress for your children with their package deals that include rentals, a lift ticket, and ski lessons. For in depth information about children’s lessons, you can view their site here

Do you want to ski and have children that aren’t ready to hit the slopes yet? Look no further! Grand Targhee has daycare with licensed staff to keep your kiddos excited and happy. Children from 2 months old to 5 years old can be entertained indoors while you brave the cold weather. Every Saturday night, with other occasional nights, the day care puts on Kids Night Out. Care takers will keep your kids entertained with dinner, star gazing, crafts, and other fun activities. If you have a group of 5 children or more, you can custom book any night with a 48 hour notice.

If you’re looking for other outdoor activities there are snowshoeing tours, nordic skiing, snowmobile backcountry tours, and fat biking. Grand Targhee also has a tubing park! After all of your outdoor adventures, you can hang out inside the Arcade with coin-operated games for all ages. There are classic arcade games, simulators, interactive hockey games, prize-generating games, and more! On weekends and holidays, the arcade serves homemade pizza to fuel up after your long activity filled days!
