When do you need a ski pass?

Everyone needs to buy a lift pass to gain access to the ski slopes. There are some exceptions if you are very young or old however you will still need a pass to get onto the lifts. The lift passes are normally electronic so you only need to place it in your left hand jacket pocket and you are good to go! Your pass will be scanned every time you pass through a lift and it will be checked so it is important you buy the correct pass.

Cheap Lift Pass Prices

Lift pass prices can vary depending on when you are going skiing. The cheapest lift passes are usually for pre-season weeks and near the end of the season. Peak weeks like Christmas, New Year, February half term and the Easter holidays will generally be more expensive. There are normally reduced priced lift passes for children and seniors and families can also make the most of reduction if booking altogether. The price of the lift passes vary according to which resort you are going to. A 3 valley lift pass will be more expensive than a pass for a smaller resort like Praz sur Arly. Prices will also vary between countries, so Bulgaria for example is cheaper than Austria due to the smaller ski domains that are available.

Ski Pass Coverage & Duration

There are different types of lift pass that you can buy. There is usually a choice between a local and area pass. The local pass will normally just cover one resort whereas the area pass may include many number of different resorts which are linked together. For example, if you are staying in Tignes you can buy a local pass which will let you ski around the different Tignes villages, however if you buy the area pass (Espace Killy pass) you can also ski over to Val d’Isère as well.
There are family passes which are normally for 2 adults and 2 to 4 children. Family lift passes are normally cheaper than buying the passes separately. You will need to show proof of family connections and the ages of the children but everyone in the group will receive a separate pass so you do not need to ski together.

The standard lift pass is a 6-day pass from Sunday to Friday. Any duration is possible however and you can select the start date for your pass. If you are arriving Saturday morning you can always by a half-day pass in resort.

Insurance

It is a good idea to book yourself some insurance when you buy your lift pass. The Assur’neige insurance covers you for accidents on the slopes and rescue if you get lost. It also will entitle you to reimbursement if you are unable to use your ski pass for more than 3 days due to an accident or bad weather. It is equivalent to the Carré Neige insurance which can be bought directly from the lift pass office. It costs €2.50 per person a day. If you need full travel insurance we can offer you a 5% discount on Columbus directs prices on ski insurance .
