Five Ways to save Pennies on Your Ski Holidays

February 7th, 2009

The European financial system started to slow up several weeks ago and it doesn’t seem set to recuperate soon. The economic crisis, alongside the historical low of the Pound against the euro, and that yearly skiing break commences to appear like a lot more of a expense than usual.

This winter skiers have been returning home from the skiing breaks in the French Alps with reports about the first-class snowboarding conditions and the extortionate prices in mountain resorts with expenses increased by 34 % on last season. The good tidings is that there are more discounted holidays around, that in many instances are canceling out the gain in expenses in resort. However it is time to be money sensible. Fortuitously we have put together a top five list to saving on this season’s Chamonix skiing vacation.

1. Shop in the valley instead of the ski resort if you’re on a self catered holiday
2. Discounted chalet holidays with breakfast dinner and wine included on all but one day
3. Drive yourself to resort saving a small fortune on both plane tickets and airport transfers
4. Ski close to home - even with the strength of the Euro a week’s ski trip in France will cost you less than a trip across the pond
5. Pay in pounds - book with operators who have kept their prices in pounds and not shifted to Euros
