Budget ski: Saving money on your ski holiday


How to save on snow holidays

  



If you are looking for a cheap skiing holiday this winter then do check some of the examples below. We don't offer bottom of the range budget ski accommodation but we believe that we can offer you affordable quality at great prices.

All our French resorts have high enough altitude and snowsure slopes with mixed terrain for various abilities. All our accommodation has been selected and checked by our directors or members of the team so you won't have any unpleasant surprises.

We only use the leading ski schools in each resort and our ski equipment hire is with one of the most respected suppliers.

Check out our 5 ways to save on a ski holiday 


1. Cheaper satellite ski resorts
We offer many smaller satellite resorts that link to big ski areas so there is no compromise on the skiing. Your ski accommodation will cost you less (up to 60% less in some cases than some of the most famous resorts located in the same ski area), going out in bars and restaurants will also cost you less, so will shopping for some of your essentials.  

Some of our back door villages to the main resorts are:
