Revealed: The most affordable European ski resorts to try this winter
Nine of the 10 lowest-cost ski destinations are in France, while Switzerland, Austria and Italy dominate the other end of the price table, according to a new study of 265 resorts in Europe.
Holidu, a holiday rental search engine, has released its ski resort price index for the 2026-2027 season. The study analyzed prices at 265 ski resorts offering at least 20 kilometers of slopes. The median holiday rental prices per person per night were taken from Holidu's internal database, while travel periods examined were high season (21-27 December 2026) and low season (22-28 March 2027). The final ranking was calculated by averaging the daily price per person for both seasons.
Nine out of Europe's 10 least expensive ski destinations are in France. Roubion les Buisses, France, topped the list with a daily cost of €40.50 for its 30km of slopes. Réallon, France, was second on the list, followed by Gresse en Vercors, France. In contrast, the most expensive ski destinations were located in Switzerland and Italy.
Zermatt, Switzerland, ranked first, with a daily cost of €303.86 for its 200km of slopes. Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, and Gitschberg Jochtal, Italy, were the third and fourth most expensive destinations, respectively.
