Whats the cheapest you've gone skiing/boarding for?

techguy

Hi,
I'm currently plannning a trip for Jan/Feb.. money is tight this year so budget is going to be pretty tight this yer (not as if it was ever high mind you).

Just wondering what other people spend when going on winter hols? I'm talking about flights/accom/transfers and ski rental.

Last year I went to Livigno on a €349 package from Topflight and an extra €345 for extras like ski pass and rental (no lessons) - Total= €694

I understand that this isn't really that bad compared to what you could easily be spending

I'd love to hear what other people are paying and how they are keeping it cheap. It'd be great to hear from people who have not used tour companies and booked everything seperately themselves and how it worked out.

Cheers!

We go as a group - and we've imposed certain minimums on the holiday, but we always look for the best value. Which means booking it seperately - the trick is getting a cheap flight to Austria. So we keep our eyes peeled for good bargains.

Say last year, Saalbach:
Ryanair to Salzberg: €78
Private Transfer to Saalbach: €50
4* hotel, pool, HB (centre of town): €592
Ski pass: €191
School + rental: €224

So in total, it was just over €1100 for everything except your spending money. Some people didn't take the school option, so it was about €1000. The equivalent from direct ski is €949 for hotel, transfer & flight. So we saved over €200 doing it ourselves. Which isn't too shabby.

Not sure actually. Must have had some package deal for something around the €3?? mark, and I've not have been booking for lessons or equipment hire either most times I've been. Anything else in the difference just get spent on beer though. Total spend on various trips would probably range from about €600 - €14,000 once you factor in all the extras that you think of whilst out there. All totally worth it though.

1 extra bag €30
Accomodation 1 bed apartment €255
