What is a ski pass? Detailed information. What is a ski pass

If you first decided to go to a ski resort, then for sure some of the terms that are commonly found on sites about ski holidays may give you trouble. In this article we will talk about what a ski pass is.

What is a ski pass?

Upon arrival at the resort, the first thing you need to buy a ski pass (ski-pass) - an electronic pass for the lifts, as a rule, it is the size of a regular bank card. A special chip is built into it, the information from which is read by the turnstile on the lift. It contains information about the zone on which it is valid, the validity period and the data of its owner.

How to use the ski pass?

To get on the lift, you need to attach a card to a special reader.

Ski equipment is often supplied special pockets on the sleeve of a jacket or overalls for a ski pass. In this case, you do not need to take it out, just put your hand on the validator and the turnstile will let you through.

A ski pass is a personal card that contains your personal information and sometimes photos. When you bring it to the validator, your photo appears on the controller's computer, as well as special signals that say that this is a children's or adult ski pass, male or female. So you won’t be able to buy a pass for a child and ride it yourself, it’s also undesirable to change each other’s ski passes, for example, male and female.

For intentional violation, you have the right to take away and cancel your ski pass.

In addition, keep in mind that when using a ski pass there is a so-called time out, if you went through the turnstile and for some reason you need to go back and go through again, it will be possible to do this only after a certain period of time. After validation, the ski pass is blocked for 2-10 minutes. This is done so that several people do not ride on one ski pass at the same time.

How much does a ski pass cost?

The cost of a ski pass depends on the season, the age of the owner, the zone and the period of its validity.

Obviously, in November and the end of March it will cost less than in December and January. But keep in mind that each resort has its own high and low season dates.

All resorts have special discounts for children and adults. As a rule, the discount applies to children under 16 or 17 years old and adults over 60-65 years old. In some regions, children under 8 receive a free ski pass, provided they are accompanied by an adult.

In Europe, the skiing regions are quite large and combine several areas. You can buy a ski pass that will only be valid in your area, or you can buy a ski pass for the entire region.

For example, consider the popular french region"Three Valleys" which includes areas: Courchevel, Meribel and Val Thorens. A ski pass for 6 days, which is valid only in the Val Thorens area, costs 228 euros, and for all three areas 283 euros. If you are good at skiing and you are bored of going up and down the same hills all day long, then there is no point in taking a ski pass of one area. Moreover, the difference in price is not so big.

The validity period of the ski pass can be any. From a few hours (most often from 8:00 to 12:00 and from 12 until the lifts close) to the entire season.

As a rule, lifts start working at 8:00 and finish at 16:30 - 17:00.

Many resorts offer ski passes that are valid for a certain number of days during the period for which you bought it. For example, you came to ride for 10 days, but for 2 days you want to go somewhere on an excursion or just relax. In this case, a ski pass is ideal for you, which is valid for any 8 out of 10 days.

Ski pass - what is it? Without this concept, you can not do without a ski resort. Unless you decide that it is better for you to go down from the top of the track only once or twice a day. Then you can buy a one-time lift ticket. In general, avid skiers joke that in the resorts a beginner needs to learn three words: ski pass, ski bass and après ski. Let's understand the intricacies of a chic life, so that somewhere on the Swiss or Italian slopes do not lose face. Although ski passes are practiced not only in the near and far abroad, but also in Russian ski resorts. Therefore, you need to know as much as possible about them. What are ski passes? Where to buy them and whether to buy at all? Is it profitable? Is it possible to purchase one card for the whole family? Read about it in our article.

Ski pass - what is it?

Skiing starts at the top of the slope and ends at the bottom. Did you like the descent? Do you want to repeat? But the question arises: how to find yourself at the beginning of the track again? You can, of course, remember the Russian proverb about the sled that you need to carry, and stomp proudly up on your own two feet. But this is a long time, and oh, how uncomfortable it is in ski boots. For the convenience of tourists, lifts were invented. And this is where the ski pass comes in handy. This term consists of two English words. The first - ski - means "skiing", as well as skiing on them. The word pass is "pass" or "pass". Thus, the answer to the question becomes clear: “Ski pass - what is it?” A magnetic card that gives a pass to the lift. It's kind of like a subscription. They are different depending on the coverage of the tracks and, accordingly, the lifts, the validity period, and other services included in the price of the card. A ski pass is like a subway ticket. You bring the card to the validator - the turnstile passes you to the lift.

Ski bass and après ski

We will investigate further. In addition to such an expression as a ski pass (what kind of term is this, we have already found out), other words are used in ski jargon. Let us briefly mention two other terms. "Bass" means "bus" in English. Some ski resorts are so large that the hotels are far from the ski lifts. And special buses are allowed to them, where vacationers with their equipment can sit down. The car has a ski compartment. In some resorts, buses are free, in others you have to buy a ticket, in others, travel is included in the subscription price. What is après-ski? Mutant English word"ski" and French "after". Thus, the term refers to the evening pastime at the resort. So that vacationers are not bored after skiing, all kinds of parties are arranged. Also, some resorts where thermal mineral springs, offer tourists to visit the baths and saunas, where it is so pleasant to take your soul away and give rest to your feet, which have been strained in ski boots. For people who appreciate sports both during the day and in the evening, bowling, billiards, etc. are provided, and for gambling natures - a casino. And a ski pass also gives access to some entertainment. What are these bonuses? And it already depends on the resort and hotel.

Types of subscriptions by coverage

Let's look at the rolling area first. If we turn our attention to European ski resorts, then there are several zones at once. Consider this on the example of the Alpine skiing region "Three Valleys". It is called so not by chance. It really includes the valleys of Courchevel, Val Thorens and Méribel. Dozens of different slopes, many lifts, hundreds of kilometers of slopes... Is it worth buying a ski pass in such conditions? What does it give? The Three Valleys Resort offers several options for ski passes. If you feel insecure about skiing, you can buy a subscription to only one skiing area - where there are green slopes for beginners. A ski pass for Val Thorens only for six days costs 228 euros. But if you ski well, you will probably get bored of going down the same slopes. A ski pass for the same number of days, but covering all three valleys, costs 283 euros.

Subscription validity period

It can even be for several hours: the so-called "early skiing" from the moment the lifts open until noon; or on illuminated tracks in the evening. There are day passes, valid for several days, a month, the whole season. Skeptics may claim negative consequences purchasing a subscription such as a ski pass. What does it mean? For example, many believe that the purchase will oblige the client to ride, whether he wants to or not, because the money is paid. But this opinion is wrong! The resorts of Europe know that tourists like to alternate skiing with excursions or passive recreation. Therefore, there you can buy a ski pass that will be valid, for example, for ten days, but only for seven or eight days you will have access to the lifts. The longer your subscription is, the cheaper one ski pass will cost you. In the ski resorts of Andorra, many tourists prefer to rent accommodation in the capital of a small country. For them, a “Super ski pass” was invented for 5 days. The card has five vouchers. You can ride every day different resorts Andorra - from Pas de la Casa to Sant Julia de Loria - or all 5 days on one of them, which you like best.

Ski pass: pros and cons

Subscriptions for skiing up to one day can be bought at the box office near the ski lifts. But there are no discounts for them. At some resorts, children under the age of six or seven ride the ski lifts free of charge, but must be accompanied by an adult. There are also ski passes at half price for teenagers up to fifteen years old. But do not think that you can buy one season ticket and ride it with the whole family or company. Also, the number of using the lift for an adult with a children's ski pass will not work. Preferential subscriptions, as well as those that are valid for several days, are issued in the name of the buyer. Therefore, when going to a ski resort, be sure to take a recent photo of yourself with you. You will need it for issuing a ski pass. When presenting the card to the validator, some personal data will be displayed on the scoreboard. The guard on the surveillance cameras will quickly notice that the ski pass is not being used by its owner. This, of course, is a plus. The theft of a subscription becomes meaningless. But on the other hand, you can not use one ski pass of a group of friends. All validators have a "timeout". This is a temporary blocking of the card so that one person does not transfer his subscription to another. At some resorts, this delay lasts five minutes, at others - ten. The disadvantages of subscriptions include the fact that when the lifts do not work due to weather conditions costs will not be reimbursed to you. You can neither return an unused subscription nor exchange it. But there are undeniably more advantages. As we have already mentioned, some subscriptions can be compared to bracelets in hotels operating on the all inclusive system. They include ski bus and different types of après ski.

Gorki City

We briefly reviewed subscriptions valid on ski resorts Europe. And how in Russia - is it possible to buy a ski pass? Gorki City - big resort in the Caucasus. They come there and excursion groups. They sell single tickets. And for tourists who come to ski, a ski pass is offered. Gorki Gorod offers various types of such subscriptions. Their cost largely depends on the season. Skating in the Caucasus starts from the end of November, and ends on May 20. Therefore, the whole season is divided into low, normal and high. In different periods, their prices. There are morning, evening and afternoon cards. A ski pass, the cost of which still depends on the season, on average costs 1300 rubles in the early hours, 1000 rubles before sunset, and 1500 rubles at lunchtime. There is also a one-day family pass. In the normal season, it costs 4,500, and in the low season - 4,000 rubles. Apres-ski (visiting the water park) is included in the ski pass for 2280 rubles.

Rosa Khutor

This is another Caucasian ski resort. The early season there comes from the end of November. Then the prices are the lowest. The high season runs from December 26th to March 1st. Prices skyrocket for everything, and pandemonium begins on the slopes. The period up to the beginning of April is the most favorable. Daylight hours are long, the frost no longer bites the nose. Prices are lower than in winter, but higher than in November-December. The cost of a ski pass (Rosa Khutor is a less fashionable resort) for one day is (subject to accommodation at the resort) only a thousand rubles. Evening skiing during this period will cost you 750 rubles. in a day.

Podmoskovnye and some other Russian resorts

In winter, near cities where there are at least some hills or hills, lifts also work. And they sell cheap ski passes. However, they operate differently, much easier. You buy a magnetic card and put a certain amount of money on it. Each time you pass through the turnstile, the system deducts the price of one lift. No savings, but such a card can be transferred to relatives and friends. The balance is displayed on the scoreboard. You can always top up your subscription if necessary.

Bukovel

The ski pass at the ski resorts of Ukraine is also valid, as well as all over the world. Such a large resort as Bukovel also offers discounts on ski lifts. Moreover, a subscription for the winter season can be bought already in the summer - for only forty percent of the price. Of course, this obliges you to come to Bukovel in winter. The ski pass, however, includes a sixty percent discount on ski equipment rental. If you buy a subscription online, you can pay 20% less for accommodation in such luxury resort hotels as Edelweiss, Shelter, VIP Residence and Bukovel.

Food in the Kozachok, VODA Day&Night Club and Kart L. restaurant chains will also cost fifteen percent less. There is a discount card for a period of three years. There are annual passes "VIP-Golden" and "VIP-Brilliant", which include some discounts on après-ski, ski lift access without queues, and in the last ski pass - unlimited skiing for the whole season.

Many tourists who prefer leisure in the mountains in winter time, most likely, it will be superfluous to talk about ski passes. But for beginners who decide to spend their first vacation at winter ski resorts in the Dolomites, this information can be very useful.

What is ( ski pass)?

The ski pass looks like an ordinary plastic card and is an electronic carrier of information about the owner, which is read when passing to the lifts.

What information does a ski pass contain?

The ski pass contains: Your photo (for ski passes for a period of 7 days or more), last name, first name, gender, age, validity period and area of ​​the ski pass.

There are two types of ski passes - "local" and "universal".

The first are intended for use of lifts only within one ski resort, but in the zone of the Dolomites there are twelve ski resorts and their boundaries are erased, different slopes of the same mountain can lie in different resort areas. Therefore, it is more profitable to purchase a "universal" ("Dolomiti Super Ski pass"), which has a wide area of ​​use. At the same time, its price will be only 6-7% higher.

Ski pass price.

The cost of a ski pass depends on several factors. First of all, the age criterion.

A child under the age of 8 with one adult gets a ski pass free of charge. Children from 8 to 16 years old, as well as tourists of retirement age, have a discount. For teenagers, the discount is 30% of the full price, and for pensioners, the "Senior" ski pass is provided with a 10% discount.

True, this rule does not apply to one-day ski passes.

The most expensive ski passes are in the "high" seasons: from December 24 to January 9 and from January 31 to March 15.

Approximately 15% lower price during the regular season: from January 10 to 30 and from March 16 until the end of the season.

There is also an early season, at the very beginning of winter, as soon as the snow falls - this is somewhere from the end of November until December 24th. Such a naked celebrities ski pass is 10% cheaper than a regular ski pass.

What will help you save money?

First of all, you must properly plan your vacation. If you intend not only to ski and snowboard, but also to make excursion trip, then it is better to purchase a ski pass for a period before the planned excursion, and after arrival, purchase a ski pass for the second part of the ski program. This is due to the fact that for unused time, the money is not returned.

When purchasing a ski mobile porn tube pass, remember to keep the receipt until the expiration date of the ski pass. This will come in handy if you lose it. The check contains important information. This is the so-called blocking number. When you come to the ski pass sales office, present a receipt, and declare the loss, you will receive a new ski pass, and at the indicated blocking number, your lost ski pass will be blocked.

The money is partially returned in case of situations when you cannot temporarily use the ski pass due to health reasons. But for this you need to take a certificate from a doctor.

After buying a ski pass, given that it is personalized, but at the same time no different from others, hide it in the pocket of your ski suit, but so that the ski pass cannot accidentally fall out. When passing through the boarding terminals of the lifts, it does not need to be taken out at all. The highly sensitive sensors of the validators read all the information even through very tight clothing.

And those who dream to replenish their number, this article is for you! IN last years I noticed that the number of people who want to spend their the winter vacation in the mountains, growing exponentially. Someone goes to conquer the summit for the first time, someone has long been unable to imagine their long-awaited vacation without a snowy slope, downhill enjoying pleasant company. But something must unite these groups of people? That's right - it's a ski pass. What it is and how to use it correctly, we will talk about this in this article.

Skipass - what is it

Surprisingly, my favorite portal did not write its own definition of this term, but I think everyone already understood that this is an electronic pass in the form of a plastic or paper card. This is a regular ticket that gives you the right to use the lifts on. Lifts are different chairlift, drag, open and closed. In a word, there are a lot of species. Now it is worth remembering that a ski pass is just a ticket.

In English it is called as ski pass. From ski - skis and pass - pass. Skypass is sometimes spoken in Russian, but this is not entirely true, because sky (sky) in English means “sky”. And it’s still too early for us to take a pass to heaven, don’t you think?

Krasnaya Polyana and ski pass

It is worth noting that all ski resorts have their own information sites where you can find any information, including ski pass prices. Almost all foreign sites also have a Russian version, so you can safely go to France. Regarding, there is no single ski pass here!

Skipass - how much does it cost

On weekends and holidays, prices are several times higher than on weekdays. Here, for example, I looked at the price on March 8th: they are twice as much as on a simple weekday. If you pay attention to Krasnaya Polyana, then:

• The most expensive ski passes in . Prices start from 4 thousand for 2 days of skiing.
• The prices for the Gazprom (Laura) ski pass depend on the time of use and the category of the pass (adult or child). For example: for an adult, the price is from 1 thousand rubles and more.
• The prices for the Gorki Gorod ski pass also depend on the category and time of use. On average, it will cost you 2 thousand rubles.

The price of a ski pass is based on the number of skiing days and the age of the person. For children, a discount of at least half of the full price, for students - approximately 30%. There are separate rates for people with handicapped and pensioners.

Options for the exact distribution of all categories, depending on the date of birth, differ in each region, all information is listed on the websites of ski resorts. There is a discount program for families with several children.

A little off topic. Have you ever been to Snowpark? I am not, but I will soon correct this situation, especially since all lovers of unusual skiing on Rosa Khutor in the winter season need to visit three diverse snow parks. There you will certainly get new sensations from skiing on skiing or bordeaux.

How to check your ski pass

This can be done on the official website of the ski resort by entering the barcode number. You can also check your account at any open checkout, which is located on the territory of the complex (but not in the hotel building). While passing through the turnstile (on the display you will see three numbers in the format "300-100=200"). The value of the first number is the balance on the card, the second is the price of the service, the third is the balance.

Please note that SkiPass can be limited and unlimited, so if you do not have enough funds on your balance, you can easily replenish the card at the box office or on the official website. Do not forget to keep a cash or electronic receipt for replenishing your card account. If it is broken or lost, you can return it and restore it thanks to checks and successful identification.

when there is a ski pass

Ski pass discounts

By purchasing a subscription in advance, you can significantly save on skiing up to 50% of the price per season. But, for some reason, not everyone is in a hurry to buy ski passes in the summer or spring, when special promotions. When do you think is the best time to buy passes?

It seems to me that there is nothing to be afraid of, in many companies all purchased promotional ski passes are valid until the moment of full use, they have no time limits.

Firstly, there are companies that allow you to use purchased ski passes even after a few years from the date of purchase, but not all of them are so generous, so read the conditions carefully before buying.

Secondly, every year the prices for holidays in a ski resort are growing, so even if you bought a subscription and then realized that you don’t need it, you can sell it very quickly, sometimes even more expensive than you bought it. Ski pass rentals also exist, in which case it is better to take care of purchasing an unlimited card.

How to save on ski passes

I think, for sure, many have guessed that it will be possible to save money during promotions or special offer from company. It is enough to either monitor the site constantly, or subscribe to the newsletter. But, there will still be people who want even more "freebies". Today, there are many underground sites that offer to purchase ski passes at "extremely" affordable price. I want to say right away that by making such a purchase, you act at your own peril and risk. Then you do not make claims to anyone, no one will give you a check (because it is illegal). Buying "free ski passes" you risk spoiling the rest for yourself and your loved ones, so think twice about the rationality of such a deal.

Companies often give free ski passes to those people who purchased them in advance, but were unable to ride due to weather conditions.

Ski pass card: return or give away

You cannot exchange or return your ski pass. At least, I have not met companies that would allow this, if you know of such, be sure to write in the comments. If you get sick or have an accident, you have a doctor's certificate, then the money lost for the days that you did not ride will be returned to you at the sales office.

My dear readers, if you know companies that offer excellent service and cheap ski passes, be sure to write in the comments, I hope you enjoyed this article, don't forget to share it in in social networks and subscribe to . It will be very interesting to read your feedback. See you later!

Text agent Q.

In contact with

It seems that everything is prepared for a trip to the ski resort. Visa opened, tickets bought, hotel booked. The holiday budget is thought out: meals, excursions, souvenirs. Haven't forgotten anything? And how will you get to the side of the mountain you are going to ride? Lifts are not cheap. Each time, buying a ticket for passage to sitting in a chair or clinging to a yoke, you have to part with your “hard-earned money”. Get a better ski pass: this will significantly reduce the price of your holiday in a ski resort. What it is? We will talk about this in this article. We will also pay attention to the types of ski passes. After learning more about these subscriptions, you can choose the one that suits you best.

What is a ski pass

Let's try to explain clearly. If we compare ski lifts with the subway, then we can say that this is a card that gives the right to several trips. Sometimes there is an unlimited number of lifts during the day or several days. But such a comparison with the subway looks simplistic. After all, no monthly subscription to the use of the Moscow subway gives you the right to visit, for example, the Sandunovsky baths. But some ski passes in Switzerland give access to soak up the spa centers of this country. Ski slopes Western European resorts are interconnected in ski areas. The ski pass gives you the opportunity to ride all the lifts, as well as get to their lower stations by shuttle buses. In most cases, this subscription is a plastic card, similar to a regular credit card. But there are (on Caucasian resort Krasnaya Polyana, for example) ordinary paper tickets with a barcode.

How it works

A special magnetic chip is built into the plastic card. It often includes personal data of the owner. This is done in order to prevent the transfer of the ski pass to another person. The chip also carries information about how long (or how many trips) it is valid for, what ski area it covers, etc. Such an electronic card is very convenient. You don't even need to take it out of your pocket. Sensitive sensors "sniff out" it even under tight clothing and instantly read information from it. Another thing is reusable paper tickets. You will need to pass it through the slot of the terminal and, only after hearing a characteristic sound signal, proceed to the landing. Such a ticket is blocked by the system for a quarter of an hour. This is to ensure that you cannot transfer your ski pass to another person. As you can see, in all cases, the control over the passage to the lifts is carried out automatically. This noticeably speeds up boarding and does not create queues. And the turnstile simply will not let the “hares” through.

They are different. Types and price range of ski passes are very large. Before you purchase any subscription, you need to carefully study what benefits it promises. It's important to know what you're paying your money for. If you come to spend a winter active holiday with a small child, it is more profitable for you to buy a debit card. This ski pass entitles you to transfer it to another person. Parents can thus take turns riding. The debit card is topped up. In the Italian ski area Dolomiti Superski, it costs forty euros for 460 units and one hundred euros for 1400. Each lift writes off a certain number of these points from the card (depending on its convenience or length). A one-day or multi-day ski pass on the slope is good if you like these ones. For example, you are a beginner and you do not need to go up to the beginning of the "black" routes. A universal ski pass entitles you to use all the lifts in the ski area. Suitable for those who are determined to try all the slopes. The combined subscription, in addition to the actual use of the lifts, includes some kind of bonus - access to the SPA center, for example.

Advantages of a ski pass

Is it worth buying such a multi-use lift ticket? Certainly! A ski pass is a great opportunity to reduce the cost of your stay in a ski resort. Indeed, in the total amount, the price of one-time tickets will be much higher than a subscription. You will also save time and will not stand in line at the box office. Get a one-time subscription for several days - and that's it. And you can even completely forget about the queues. In Ukrainian Bukovel, for example, every summer there is an online sale of ski passes for winter period. The discount is significant. And even if you did not manage to go to Ukrainian Carpathians this winter, the ski pass will be valid next year. Ski resorts V Dolomites provide a separate service- My Dolomiti Skicard. The owner signs an agreement with the resort office and his credit card is deducted from his credit card at the first morning passage through the turnstile, ten percent less than the cost of a one-day ski pass.

Cons of a subscription

There are also disadvantages to this service. The main enemy of ski passes is the weather. If you purchased a subscription for a week, and during its five days a blizzard raged or there was pitch fog, no one will return the cost of unused days to you. And even if the lifts are closed due to heavy wind, your expenses will not be reimbursed either. It does not make sense to sell or give your ski pass to another person. Personal electronic card carries full information about the owner, and the weekly pass also includes a photo. Do not think that no one is watching the turnstile. Cameras at lift stations are installed everywhere. Sooner or later, such a person will be tracked down and fined. Most multi-day ski passes are designed for consecutive days. But there are other rates as well. For example, you can use a certain number of different days in a certain period. But such ski passes are more expensive than usual ones.

Personal card protection

As with credit cards, season ticket holders ask themselves: "What happens if you lose your ski pass?" In this sense, the management of the resorts took care of the safety of their customers. You need to go to the ski pass sales office and report the loss. You must have documents proving your identity with you, as well as a receipt for the purchase of a lost subscription. Employees will immediately block your personal card, and all unused funds will be transferred to a new piece of plastic. This procedure does not require additional funds. There is one exception to the rule when money is returned for unused skiing days. These are serious health problems. In case of injury or illness, with a medical certificate, the ski pass is withdrawn, and the funds on the personal card are reimbursed.

Categories of skiers

To promote winter outdoor activities, resorts are introducing various discounts for certain age groups. Everything is done to ensure that people come with the whole family, taking even a baby and an old grandmother. All children under six, and in some resorts even seven years old, can ride the ski lifts (provided they are accompanied by their parents) absolutely free of charge. Then there is the baby tariff - with a thirty percent discount. Often it is set not by years, but by. Somewhere it can be a meter and twenty centimeters, somewhere - 1.4 m. The junior tariff is valid for teenagers under sixteen years old. It entitles you to a ten percent discount. The same benefits are enjoyed by all seniors over sixty-five (Senior rate). But in Krasnaya Polyana it is worth taking with you a valid student ID card or a student's certificate - these documents entitle you to a discount.

Seasons

Even for the same period of validity of a ski pass, the price for it fluctuates depending on the dates. Ski bases, like seaside resorts, practice such concepts as high and low season. Even in those places where skiing is possible all year round thanks to glaciers, there is this division. After all, not everyone ski elevator will work in the summer. In addition to high, regular and low, some resorts have an early season. In Bukovel, for example, it starts with the first snow at the end of November and lasts only a week. Prices for ski passes at this time are twelve percent lower than the usual season. There is also such a thing as "under the curtain." In the last week of the season, some resorts, in order to delay tourists and earn at least on accommodation and meals for guests, announce free use of ski lifts.

Catch a discount

We have already mentioned that the early purchase of a ski pass reduces its cost compared to the ski pass that you can buy on the spot. The work of cashiers must be paid, taxes are levied on the salary, and therefore selling subscriptions online will cost you less. In some developed resorts in Switzerland, Austria, France and Italy, you can enter into a write-off agreement with credit card your passage to the ski lift. In general, this gives a ten percent discount, plus the bonus that such a "subscription" will be valid on the days you choose. If you want to purchase a ski pass that covers the low and regular seasons, then special online sales calculators will determine the price.

Subscription "on load"

Developed ski resorts are overcrowded with hotels. Housing supply often exceeds demand. And therefore, in order to get ahead of competitors and lure guests, many hotels practice an interesting system. If you stay at the hotel for more than two nights, you will receive a free or reduced price ski pass. This is a great bonus, since the prices for lifts are quite high in the Alpine and Pyrenean resorts. It is worth considering all the offers of hotels. Perhaps you should book a more expensive hotel, but save on a ski pass. And sometimes the subscription itself includes not only skiing, but also a visit to the term, travel by local transport, etc.
