Luxury Skiing Holidays on a BudgetDon't let your skiing holiday eat your savings
The key to cheap ski holidays is finding the right destination and right time of year. On the whole, ski holidays are cheapest at the beginning of the season, although there are often some excellent ski deals at the end of the season too. The most expensive times to take a ski holiday are at Christmas, New Year and during school half terms so it is best to avoid taking a ski break during these times. As for cheap ski destinations, Eastern European countries including Bulgaria and Slovenia provide sensational value for money, and closer to home, Andorra is a magnificent place to take a cheap ski break. If you are new to the sport, there are many smaller resorts with excellent learner slopes, where ski passes will not damage your wallet too much. Top Five Cheap Ski Holiday Destinations
View Ski Chalets in Switzerland As with many money saving travel tips, the answer to a great cheap ski holiday is forward planning. The best way to find a cheap flight is to book early, although, to really save money, the European rail network is an exceptional asset to have at your disposal. If you are taking your own ski gear (and avoiding costly equipment hire), driving is a fantastic option as well. Driving is even better when you fill the car with people, and sharing the petrol costs as well as the cost of taking a ferry or the Eurotunnel with other ski travellers. Once you have your travel organised, turn your attention to find accommodation in cheap ski chalets. There are some wonderful chalets listed on HomeAway Holiday-Rentals, and for further value, you can also find some astonishing special offers on many of the ski chalets, especially at the start or finish of the traditional ski season. Another great tip for finding cheap ski chalets is to look for accommodation just outside the main ski resort, as rental prices reduce as you get further from the centre. Once on your cheap ski holiday, there are many more money saving tips which will actually enhance your enjoyment. Taking a self catering ski chalet means you do not have to dine out each day, and your choice of ski pass is essential. Skiing half days or taking a 5 day pass as opposed to a full 7 day pass means that you can also enjoy many of the other activities and attractions available without feeling that you must head up onto the slopes in order to get your money's worth. No matter how good you are at keeping costs down, a cheap ski holiday can become exceedingly expensive should something go wrong and you are not in possession of winter sports insurance. Ski insurance can cost as little as £15, and considering that having a broken wrist attended to can cost up to €3,000, not including evacuation off the slopes, it is a good idea to be covered.
