Lift passes form an important part of the cost of your skiing holiday and without them you will not be doing much, if any skiing at all. For those who have not yet experienced the fun and thrills of a skiing holiday the all important lift pass allows you to access cable cars, chairs and tows to get you up the hill so that you can ski down again!

There is not usually just one style of lift pass, some are local to the areas where you may be staying whilst others allow you to cross into other valleys and to ski in those areas as well. Your skiing ability will determine the kind of lift pass that you would buy when you arrive at your skiing holiday destination. If you are an intermediate to good skier in the Courcheval area for example, you would certainly opt for the three valleys ski pass which allows you to ski the Meribel and Val Thorens ski areas as well as the Courcheval slopes.

If it’s your first time on a skiing holiday then you would only require a lift pass for the immediate areas, there would be little point in you buying a ski pass for a wider region which your ability would probably prevent you from getting to. For the beginner another important point to remember is that ski passes can be purchased on a daily basis so if you want to explore the town or go on a trip organised by your ski holiday specialist, you are not wasting the use of the ski pass.

The best place for both the new skier and for the more experienced is your ski holiday specialist, because this is where you will not only get the best advice about all of your holiday arrangements, but they often can get special rates for certain types of ski pass. So contact your ski holiday specialist for that wonderful holiday that awaits you in winter wonderland.
