How to make your family ski holiday more affordable

• Look out for family specific accommodation. When you search for your holiday, filter for family-specific properties and resorts that are categorised as “good for families” in our Ski Holiday Search. If you’re considering a hotel, shortlist a few options and check for “family rooms” that can sleep up to six people.
• Book a catered chalet for great value. Choosing a catered chalet means your flights, transfers, accommodation and food are all included in the price. This often works out as excellent value, especially for families. Some chalets also have rooms with additional beds, and using these third or fourth beds can reduce the overall cost.
• Spread the cost of your holiday. You can pay your balance in instalments through our easy-to-use customer portal, Manage My Booking.
• Get the latest offers first. Subscribe to our Offers Alert and be the first to hear about our latest tips, early-access deals and seasonal sales before they’re released to the public.

Cheaper teen lift passes

In 2025, several resorts extended the children’s lift pass age bracket from 12 to 17. This means big savings for families with teenagers. Val Thorens, Meribel and Courchevel have joined Tignes and Val d’Isere in this scheme to make skiing more affordable.

For example, in July 2024 a full-area 3 Valleys adult lift pass cost £307 (previously ages 13 and up), while a children’s pass was £252. With the new policy, children are now defined as ages 5–17, so that £52 saving applies for far longer and makes a real difference for families.
