Ski Holidays: Cheap Ski Holidays

Just a two-hour flight from London, Slovenia is one of the cheapest skiing destinations in Europe. The World Ski Lift Ticket Price Report (2009) reported that last season, Brits paid an average of £168.98 for a six-day lift pass across all destinations, with prices in Europe reaching an average of €245 in Andorra. By comparison, the price of a six-day pass at Slovenia’s top resorts Kranjska Gora and Maribor was €147 (approximately £128). Slovenia’s ski resorts also stand out for their high quality, offering Western standard accommodation and service at Eastern European prices.

Slovenia is no larger than Wales, which means its compact size allows you to reach the top of a mountain within 45 minutes of leaving the airport in Ljubljana. You can also easily combine your ski break with a city experience – either by staying in the mountains and heading to the city at the end of the day, or by using Ljubljana as a base for your skiing and other outdoor activities.
