Just returned from a week in Fiss getting around every run in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis. Great range of pistes for all the family for every level. Great steep 70% blacks, long tiring reds and some family friendly blues connecting all areas. Whole resort/domain is set up for families with children, so half term holidays in UK, NL, B, Lux and some D meant it was packed, Although it can transport 92k people/hour the lifts often had 20 minute queues. Unfortunately, the temperatures have been so high that skiing from 3pm was hard work, runs cut up and low down slush just killed it. Get the early lifts and the runs that have been groomed are great, wide open and long. Mountain restaurants are good and plenty of choice but strangely seem to all offer the same prices - high. Stayed at AlpenRoyal hotel, which was great, good food, nice pool & sauna but was an 800m walk to main lifts. Quite amazing locker system at the lift station that works incredibly well so you don't need to wear your ski boots out, although personally I'd rather be slope side with a boot/ski room at the hotel. With soooo many people there any hire equipment can take a time to get kitted out. The whole resort(s) are primarily BeNeLux & German although language never actually prevented anything. Great resort(s), wonderful domain, ideal for families, limited town restaurants, but if you can avoid school holidays and go in the colder months it's a gem with 214km of pistes, plenty of off-piste but virtually zero apre-ski.

Just returned from a week winter holidays in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis (March 2012), was really impressed by this resort. The skiing area and the facilities make this resort one of my favourite.
I usually spend more time off piste than on the pistes, both on skis and snowboard, often find the regular runs not challenging enough, I found in Serfaus and Fiss some steep pistes making it a great skiing area!
Besides that, we were very lucky with the weather, and had 4 days of fresh snow, which made off-piste simply amazing.
A good thing in this resort is that the off-piste skiing area feels relatively "safe", in the sense that there aren't cliffs or huge rocky areas close to the pistes, but of course the avalanche risk remains high, reminder given by the numereous avalanches (artificially or naturally started) surrounding the pistes.
For fan of apres-ski, this is probably not the most animated place, but bars could bring some good fun after a great skiing day.
There are lot of activities for kids, that's true, but the exceptional skiing area makes this resort a very good tip, not only for family.
As the pistes in this resort are very well exposed, the snow in the lower runs in the afternoon can be a bit heavy / wet.

Fiss is extremely well set up for families, great traditional rural village feel and a ski area that's hard to beat. Lift infrastructure and piste preparation is exceptional and the ski school has loads of languages and nationalities on offer plus a perfect playground for kids to learn the craft.

I spent a week in Fiss this March with my family and another family. We stayed in a hotel which was situated really on the slope. The resort is very modern in all its lifts and other facilities and the slopes are very well maintend. Fiss is an ideal family resort and has all one needs for for all kinds of skiers. There are not so many easy slopes for beginners but a lot of them for intermidiate skiers. For more advance skiers there are som blacks and ski routes (ungroomd trails) besides many possibilities for off-piste. There is the famous Austrian apres-ski at the end of the day but it's limited in its choice. I ski almost every month during the seasons and visit a lot of ski resorts mainly in Austria and France and the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis is one of the biggest and best in Austria, in my opinion.
