The cost of a six-day adult lift pass at some of the world’s largest ski areas is creeping closer to the €300 (£270) mark for winter 2016/17.
The price for the Mont Blanc Unlimited pass for the wider region around Chamonix has increased from €293 (£264) last winter to €299 (£270) this winter, although it now officially also includes the Megève area, taking coverage to around 1,000km with Courmayeur and Verbier still included too.
The Paradiski area, which is also one of the world’s three biggest, will charge €298 (£269) for a ticket this winter, and the world’s largest lift-linked ski area, Les 3 Vallées, will charge a headline rate of €294 (£265) for a six-day pass. It’s cheaper if two or three adults buy the same pass at the same time, and both passes offer family savings and about 20% discounts for children aged 5 to 12.
It can be cheaper to buy the passes outside the main season, and it also remains possible to buy tickets for individual areas rather than the full pass coverage often at savings of 20–40%
