BOAPGOCLPF is of course that well known acronym ‘Buy-one-adult-pass-get-one-child-lift-pass-free’ and Crystal Ski Holidays (www.crystalski.co.uk) have just such a deal on offer when you book accommodation in Austria, France, Switzerland, Italy, Finland, Norway, Slovenia and Bulgaria between midnight on Thursday 12th September and midnight on Monday 30th September 2013. The offer, valid in 31 properties, means that when you buy-one-adult-pass and get-one-child-lift-pass-free you save up to £172 per child. For example, a family of four (two adults, two children under the age of 12) who book a holiday to the Hotel Petit Prince in Alpe d’Huez, would save £344 – the cost of two child lift passes in the French resort. “Almost all accommodation in this special offer are four-star hotels or apartments and all are recommended by Crystal Ski as family hotels, chalets and apartments with child-friendly facilities including family bedrooms, early dinner options, leisure facilities geared towards families as well as close to slope locations,” said a company statement. Child ages vary by resort and do not equate to the ‘under 18’ normally understood to mean ‘child’ or ‘under 12’ often used for travel, but vary between a maximum age of 11 to 16, as per the following table:
