4. Find the right time

Plan your holiday outside the school holiday and make it a shorter week - Sunday to Thursday. In January and March, there are fewer people, more space on the slopes, and lodging is usually cheaper.

5. Stay in the surrounding areas

You’ll find excellent lodging options farther away from our ski areas to bring the cost down. Oftentimes, the ski slopes are no more than a few minutes away by car. To be extra kind to both the environment and your wallet, you can leave your car and take the ski bus to the slopes instead. The ski bus is free for anyone with a SkiPass that’s valid for 1 or more days

6. Share lodging

Renting a large cabin or apartment and sharing it with relatives or perhaps several other families brings the price per person down significantly. See the full range of large cabins in the mountains »

7. Pre-book online

SkiPass, ski school and ski rentals are always cheapest online, so save time and money by pre-booking your products via skistar.com or in the SkiStar app. You can either download or pre-book your SkiPass, or pick it up at our SkiPass pick up automats.

8. Rent equipment

Renting ski equipment is an affordable and surefire way to ensure you have freshly waxed skis that are ready for the slopes when you arrive. Our ski rentals are always located close to the slopes, making it easy for you to change, swap or get help.

9. Group ski school is perfect for everyone

Letting the kids go to group ski school means that everyone in the family can get the most out of their holiday. Kids learn to ski from skilled ski instructors, while also making friends and mountain memories to take back home. For parents, ski school for the kids means some well-deserved time off on holiday.

10. Eat on a budget

Cook at home in your cottage or apartment and bring soup or stew in a thermos for a quick and cheap meal. Sausages with bread are of course also popular with many and can easily be prepared at one of the many cosy barbecue areas near the slopes. And don't forget to bring hot chocolate or coffee to warm you up after a few hours out in the snow. If you get tired of cooking, there are of course affordable restaurants nearby.
