Add on your holiday extras with us before you depart so you’ll be all set for when you get to the mountains. You can also take advantage of ski hire and lift pass deals on a number of our holidays!
Ski extras with the operator
Hire, lift passes and lesson prices vary between our operators as well as deals and bundle offers. If you are interested in a specific holiday and would like to find out more, give us a call on the number above or send us an email enquiry and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Lift pass
Lift pass prices differ with our operators and resort with many offering the choice of a local or full area lift pass depending on your ability and preference. Lift passes are also discounted for children and seniors (usually over 64 year olds).
Ski hire
Ski hire also varies with our operators with some offering deals and bundles with lift passes such as Ski World’s ski-all-in and Ingham’s 2 for 1 on hire when pre-booking lift passes. These deals will be highlighted on the holiday pages and search results.
The ski hire standards are generally graded as beginner (blue/ bronze hire), intermediate (red/silver hire) and advanced (black/gold hire) being the newest models of hire.
Lessons
Many of our operators have AM and PM beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons for 2 or 3 hours over 3 or 6 days for children and adults. Lessons with our operators are group lessons based on ability and each operator uses different ski schools depending on the holiday and resort. Snowboard lessons are also available at morning or afternoon with starting ages varying with operators and resorts.
Ski carriage
If you’re bringing your own equipment, skis or snowboard, you will need to pre-book and pay for ski carriage. Ski carriage is limited on each flight and is on a first come first serve basis, so we recommend booking carriage as soon as possible. This can be done at the time of booking.
With hire and lift pass deals, most operators allow you to swap out hire for ski carriage so you can still save money if you are taking your own equipment.
Prices vary depending on what airline the holiday is with. Most operators’ have a standard charge of £40 for return ski carriage on chartered flights. For scheduled airlines, they charge separately for ski carriage which can vary between each airline. Ask us about ski carriage prices for a holiday you may be interested in as for some holidays you will need to contact the airline directly to book.
Kids clubs and childcare
Some of our operators have great childcare and kids’ club options including Ski Famille, Ski Espirit and Neilson, with some even having in-house childcare available. Operators run their kids’ clubs for a variety of ages for either a full day or half a day which involves childcare options such as ski drop off and collect service to and from lessons, supervised lunch, ski and snowboard lessons, day and evening clubs. You can speak to one of our ski experts on the range of childcare options for a holiday you are interested in or send us an enquiry.
