Ski vacation at a bargain price: where families can best save!

In the popular Saalbach ski region, the skiing holiday for families is becoming increasingly expensive. According to a report by Krone , the costs for one day can increase to up to 900 euros if you take out expenditure for ski passes, equipment, meals and accommodation. Some vacationers, especially from the Netherlands, even spend up to 3,000 euros a day. A vacationer from Amsterdam reported that he already calculated over 200 to 300 euros a day for a week with twelve people without a hotel.

high additional costs on skiing holidays

A comprehensive study by the ADAC also reveals that the costs for a skiing holiday are often underestimated. The investigation in 25 popular ski regions of the Alps shows that in addition to the obvious editions for ski passes and accommodations, there are also considerable additional costs such as travel expenses, equipment loan and meals. The average costs for a family with two adults and two children amount to around 1,340 euros over a period of three days - without accommodation. In comparison, all of the ski equipment for a single vacationer including ski course and leisure armor costs an average of 420 euros, with strongly varying prices depending on the travel destination. Skin news reported that the most expensive ski areas are in Switzerland, while Germany, like Feldberg, offers the cheaper options.

Especially the travel expenses as well as the prices for meals and drinks on the slopes are often a large cost factor that is often overlooked. The ADAC recommends to carry out detailed budget planning to avoid unforeseen extras. Tips such as the early booking of ski passes and equipment, driving during the week and the use of package offers can help to minimize the financial surprises on skiing holidays.
