In general ski holiday are going to hurt your pocket more than a sunshine getaway might. Despite the current financial climate costs have continued to rise at many top skiing resorts. Many customers have complained bitterly of extortionate prices at certain ski resorts such as nine euro for a beer and six for a soft drink.
People are spending considerable time this skis season looking for the best value deals. Cheaper resorts and accommodation are top of many people’s wish lists. Sometimes low cost flights may not be the best option when visiting Geneva. British Airways are charging for ski equipment transport which can certainly inflate the cost of flying. If possible you may wish to consider a train or a hire car to reach your destination. It is worth considering all options and weighing up the costs.
One cheap option many are considering this year is driving to the Alps after taking the ferry to Calais. Ferries depart regularly and allow as much equipment as you can fit into your car.
Self catering apartments are another way of saving money with considerable savings available when it comes to food. This is especially useful for large families.
Passes for smaller resorts can work out considerably cheaper. For instance you can get a six day lift pass at Val d’Isère for just two hundred and eighteen euro. The Flaine Grand Massif ski area is just a one hour drive in a Geneva Airport car hire and provides outstanding value. Here you will find plenty of skiing option to suit all levels.
