A family ski holiday is one of the best vacations, but it can cost you a lot more than other holidays. You are probably looking for some cost-saving options for your ski holiday. Here we put together some tips that’ll help you save some pounds and make the most out of your family holiday.
- Book Early
Booking everything from flight to accommodation in advance will save a lot of money. For this, you can buy a package deal from a holiday company. The package sums up the cost of flights, accommodation, transfers, lift pass, equipment hire, etc. It might seem costly up-front but, these are all discounted prices.
- Book Accommodation Lower down the hills
You’ll find many resorts, bed and breakfasts, hotel, and other accommodations lower down the hills. They are priced less than the resorts and hotels on the slopes. If you think that you can easily reach the slopes by taking a bus or gondola, make a reservation there. You can still spend enough time skiing while saving your money.
- Half Board Booking
A half board like bed and breakfast serves your meals during your stay. Booking a half board is another money-saving option. It will cut down the food cost. Having a lunch or dinner at restaurants or cafes at ski resorts is highly expensive, so you can choose an option that covers both costs of your stay and food.
- Inclusive Lift Pass
Some holiday companies offer holiday packages which include a lift pass. This implies you will not have to pay extra in case of a price change.
- Get a Currency Deal
Last minute currency exchange can add up to the vacation cost as you might end up paying more due to unreasonable exchange rates. There are many options such as travel cards which enable you to add preferred currency in advance. This will save on bank fees. You can also browse online for currency exchange services.
- Packing a Lunch is a Good Idea
Having lunch out at any ski resort is expensive. For instance, in the Alps, it will cost you €30-€35 per head just for chips and burgers. You can pack sandwhiches or any other food of your choice for lunch on the slopes.
- Stay Alert for best Ski deals
If you are planning for a ski holiday, you should stay alert for ski deals. For the best deals, you can set up a Google alert. Make a reservation right away when you think the deal is available within your budget.
- Plan Ski Holiday at Easter
An Easter ski holiday is a good option as not many people ski at that time. Prices of everything are comparatively lower during Easter.
- Get Multi Day Tickets
Many ski resorts give discounted tickets to those who are going to ski for multiple days. For instance, if you are planning to ski for 4 days, you can buy a 4-day ticket and take an advantage of the offer.
- Ski Equipment- Buy, Hire, or Purchase
Do any of your friends own ski equipment? If yes, try to borrow equipment from your friend. If not, you can rent or purchase them from ski rental services.
Follow these top 10 cost-saving tips while planning your ski holiday to enjoy the holiday with minimal cost.
