What is the cheapest time to go skiing?
January and March are the cheapest months to book a ski holiday while still enjoying excellent snow conditions. Fresh snow dumps mean it’s possible to pick from cheaper resorts at lower altitude, and keeping away from February and April's half-term and Easter holidays results in fewer crowds and less competition for accommodation and flights.
What is the cheapest week to go skiing?
Generally, the cheapest weeks to ski are outside of the school holidays, both early and late in the season. Early December and mid-January often promise early-bird deals and lofty snow totals, while planning a trip away from the Easter school holidays in March and April can result in some serious late-season bargains.
Best place for cheap ski deals and great skiing?
If you want to pack in the ski miles with a big ski area without the price tag, these smaller resorts are just the ticket:
- Brides Les Bains lets you access France's Three Valleys and the exclusive high-altitude resort of Meribel via cable car.
- Les Menuires and Saint-Martin-De-Belleville unlock the magnificent Three Valley ski area without the big price tag.
- Head to Fieberbrunn in Austria, rather than Saalbach-Hinterglemm, to access the vast Skicircus valley for cheap.
- Kirchberg may not match Kitzbuhel's glitz and glamour, but it does let you access the same KitzSki pistes.
- Sauze d'Oulx sits within Italy's 'Milky Way' Via Lattea ski area, letting you enjoy the same high alpine runs as Claviere.
- Enjoy the world-class slopes of Chamonix at a fraction of the cost with a stay in Les Houches.
- Bulgaria’s Bansko and Borovets are some of the best destinations to nab some cheap ski deals, offering budget-friendly accommodation, lift passes, and food and drink at a fraction of the price of other European resorts.
Is it cheaper to go skiing over Christmas?
No, Christmas is not usually a cheap time for ski holidays, as it coincides with kids' school holidays and offers some of the best powder of the ski season. That said, if you're planning a family trip and want to save some money, we have some well-known resorts that are ideal for a cheap Christmas ski holiday, whether you're travelling with or without little ones.
Where to book a cheap ski holiday?
Bulgaria, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Poland are genuinely the cheapest countries to ski in. Home to some of the best cheap ski deals, with great pistes alongside affordable flights, accommodations, lift passes, ski rentals, and ski lessons.
- Bulgaria: We recommend checking out ski holidays in Bansko, often cited as Bulgaria’s cheapest ski resort. Its affordable lift passes, accommodation, and apres and dinner options make it a firm favourite with families and friend groups. What’s more, in Bulgaria, a pint will only set you back around £2 - talk about a bargain!

What is the cheapest month to go skiing?
Are last-minute ski deals actually cheaper?
Yes. Last-minute ski deals can often be the cheapest way to travel if you're fully flexible, but if you’re able to book far in advance, early-bird ski deals can offer some of the best prices when it comes to flights and accommodation.
Is Austria a cheap place to ski in?
Yes, Austria offers an outstanding balance between top-quality slopes and resorts and budget-friendly skiing, with many smaller, hidden gems providing great deals on lift passes, food, and drink, as well as accommodation. Although not the cheapest option around, it’s great for those looking to save the pennies while still enjoying top-quality skiing and snowboarding.
What is Europe’s cheapest ski resort?
Bulgaria is actually one of the cheapest and best places to learn to ski, with Borovets and Bansko operating top-tier English-speaking ski schools, low-cost accommodation and ski hire, and a wealth of fantastic nursery slopes to practise on.
Is it cheaper to book a ski holiday separately?
No, it’s generally cheaper to book a ski holiday as a package rather than booking flights, accommodation, lift passes, and ski hire separately. This is because Heidi has access to exclusive rates and discounts that aren't available elsewhere.
Is it cheaper to pre-book ski hire?
Generally, it can be cheaper to pre-book your ski hire. Pre-booking also ensures your size is available and helps you avoid long queues at the rental desks. That’s why here at Heidi, we offer the option to pre-book equipment hire during your check-out process.
Where are the cheapest ski passes?
Bulgaria, Andorra, and Poland offer some fantastic deals on cheap lift passes, in addition to some Italian resorts such as Bardonecchia and Livigno. That being said, if you’re travelling with kids or senior members in your party, many resorts offer cheaper and sometimes even free lift passes for those under and over a certain age.
How do I secure the £99pp lock-in price on my holiday booking?
It's simple! You can pay as little as £99pp as a lock-in price deposit when booking more than 6 weeks before departure, then pay in instalments up to 4 weeks before departure, after which the remaining balance will be deducted.
If your departure date is between 6 and 12 weeks away, we can offer a low, late lock-in price deposit of £99pp, with the remaining balance to be paid in bite-sized instalments. 50% of the remaining balance is due 2 weeks after booking, with the rest payable 4 weeks prior to your departure date.
