The arduous journey to the basement before every ski season. To check if the equipment is still suitable. Does the zipper on the winter jacket work? Do the pants still fit? Are the skis good for another season? Especially in these days when health insurance premiums are increasing, rent increases and electricity bills are approaching, a ski holiday may soon become a luxury. Berno Stoffel (53), director of Cable Car Switzerland, recently told SonntagsBlick that a family of four can get by on 3,000 francs for a week’s ski holiday. This is stupid: even 3000 francs is a lot of money. Blick also shows it could be cheaper.
Glarnerland
A children’s area for the little ones, various tracks for the adults, and all at affordable prices. “With Elm and Braunwald, Glarnerland offers two excellent options for a family ski holiday,” says Fridolin Hösli (37), managing director of the Visit Glarnerland organisation. A family of four can find a holiday home for 1,200 francs. Hösli continued: “For this price, it is necessary to make a few concessions regarding the location, it is not possible to be directly on the slopes.” 5-day ski passes for the whole family cost 700 francs at Braunwald GL and 712 francs at Elm GL (children aged 6-15). If you cook it yourself, you can easily stay under 2,500 francs.
valais
In Valais they rely on special offers. “With the ‘Kids on skis – for free’ campaign, Aletsch Arena puts little ones on skis for free,” says Wallis Promotions spokesperson Laude-Camille Chanton. Children aged 3-5 can learn to ski for free in five selected weeks. The versatile package includes: 5 days of half-day ski courses, equipment rental, ski pass and even accommodation (for the child; at the companion’s accommodation). However, the number of participants is quite limited.
Graubnden
It is also possible to ski cheaply in the Graubeğen region of Gian and Giachen. “A week’s ski holiday for a family with two children is possible for 2,000 francs,” says Luzi Bürkli, holiday spokeswoman for Graubuster. You pay off your bill with a holiday apartment in the Lower Engadine and a 6-day ski pass at the Scuol GR at the early bird price.
Central Switzerland
It depends on the type of accommodation in Central Switzerland. On demand, Schwyz Turizm says that frugal families should avoid hotels and look for a comfortable holiday apartment. Here’s the thing: If you don’t have a mountain of money at home, start thinking about next year’s ski holiday in the spring.
Reka resorts
The resorts of the Swiss travel fund also offer comfortable shelter for large families. A family of six pays 1,545 francs for accommodation at Disentis GR. In addition, there are also 5-day ski passes for 1,246 francs (for four children aged 6-15). A family that prepares its own meals can earn just over 3,000 francs.
In Leukerbad VS, a family with two children lives on less than 2,500 francs. You pay 1008 francs for the roof over your head and 814 francs for the ski passes.
equipment
Extreme luxury and cheap holidays do not go together. You should also be careful when purchasing equipment. Buying is suitable for regular skiers or families who can pass the skis on to younger children. Either way, it’s cheaper to drive unless you always have the latest model on your doorstep.
