However, here at Ski Basics we are firm believers that an unforgettable ski holiday does not need to come with a bank breaking price tag. There are many ways you can reduce your costs without compromising on quality and we\u2019ve rounded them up here for you. So, read on for 17 tips for booking an affordable ski holiday\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Tips_for_booking_an_affordable_Ski_Holiday\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17 Tips for booking an affordable Ski Holiday\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Booking_an_affordable_Ski_Holiday\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Booking an affordable Ski Holiday<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Plan_the_trip_yourself\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Plan the trip yourself<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First things first, one of the easiest ways to reduce any additional costs is to go direct. Cut out the middle man and plan the trip yourself. Finding and comparing flights using sites such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyscanner.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sky scanner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> couldn\u2019t be easier and there are a whole host of options when it comes to transfers to take you to your chosen resort. For all you need to know on planning your travel to Meribel, check out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/travel\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our complete guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most hotels and ski chalet companies will have their own easy to use websites and a team who are on hand to help plan a trip catered to your needs. To speak to our friendly, expert team about a trip to Meribel, simply <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/contact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">get in contact<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Pick_the_right_month\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Pick the right month\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Price is often largely influenced by the time that you travel. If you don\u2019t have children, we would always recommend booking around the school holidays. Not only does skiing slightly outside of the peak periods save you money but you will also have the opportunity to make the most quieter slopes. There are also often a number of great additional deals during off peak periods. Here at Ski Basics when you stay with us during week 5 and 6 of the season, you will receive a complimentary Meribel Valley lift pass for each member of the group, included within the price of your stay (worth approximately \u00a3250).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are skiing kids, then get ahead of the game and start looking early. Comparing your options is always a good way to ensure you get the right deal for you. For families, chalets may often work out better value than multiple rooms in a hotel and will mean everyone is together with the luxury of your own space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Plan_in_advance\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Plan in advance\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning as far in advance as possible is always a great way to save when booking an affordable ski holiday. Avoid the dreaded price increases implemented by airlines as the date of travel draws closer. Ski holidays often book up fast, particularly if you\u2019re looking for a family friendly chalet in a good location. So, starting to look early is a good way to ensure you have your pick of the bunch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can check out our<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/skibasics.mychaletbooking.com\/chalets\/?_gl=1*5jgkww*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE2NzQwMzEyNjEuRUFJYUlRb2JDaE1Jc0s3c3N0elFfQUlWajVudENoMGdKQWI5RUFBWUFTQUFFZ0tlMV9EX0J3RQ..*_ga*MjA1ODIwODU2MS4xNjE5MDcyMTU2*_ga_35S9QV4YK5*MTY3ODY5MTYyMi4yMi4xLjE2Nzg2OTM5MjkuMC4wLjA.&amp;_ga=2.190405355.1599745573.1678691622-2058208561.1619072156\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">availability and prices<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> now on our website.

There\u2019s still a whole host of ways you can book an affordable ski holiday when going self-catered such as, preparing meals at home in the chalet rather than eating out. And if you\u2019re driving, why not bring a few essentials with you ready for the week ahead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even with Ski Basics self-catered service, we\u2019re on hand behind the scenes to make sure you have a holiday to remember and there are a number of ways we can help to make it one of your best yet whilst remaining affordable. Why not have a magical evening of french cheese and wine by the fire in your chalet rather than heading out to one of the restaurants in resort? Simply order through our online shop or speak to your chalet manager who will be able to help organise this for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Pre_Book_your_ski_pass\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Pre Book your ski pass<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-ordering your ski passes before you arrive in resort is another simple yet effective way to save when booking an affordable ski holiday. When staying with us at Ski Basics, pre-ordering your ski passes through our online portal will save you around \u00a320 per pass. Your chalet manager will then be on hand to deliver these to your chalet upon arrival.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go a step further and eliminate the cost of your lift pass by staying with us at Ski Basics during the first two weeks of January and receive a complimentary Meribel Valley Ski Pass for each member of your group, worth approximately \u00a3250.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, if you\u2019re travelling with kids and \/ or older friends and family members, under 5\u2019s and over 75\u2019s ski for free. Proof of age will be required so ensure you have ID with you at the point of purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it doesn\u2019t end there, reduced ski pass prices are available for groups of two or more in Meribel. However, it\u2019s useful to note that this pass discount is only available for passes bought at the same time, online for the same duration in the same ski area in a single transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information on the price of lift passes in Meribel and The Three Valleys, head over to our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/meribel\/ski-pass.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ski Pass<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Consider_driving_to_the_resort\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Consider driving to the resort<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-driving is also often a popular choice for many ski holiday makers and it can be a great way to drive down your costs. If you\u2019ll pardon the pun. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course you will need to estimate the cost of your crossing, fuel and tolls but driving often also gives you an added level of flexibility and control of your journey that flying does not. If you\u2019re travelling with a group who can each contribute towards the cost of the drive, it\u2019s usually a no brainer when it comes to planning an affordable ski holiday. Plus, it\u2019s often a great option for avoiding additional charges when flying if you have your own ski equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timewise you\u2019re looking at approximately 12-14 hours door to door (depending where in the UK you\u2019re travelling from). So, when you factor in the time spent travelling to and waiting at airports, the overtime travel time may not be all that different to flying. Understandably, the thought of driving to resort for the first time may feel a little daunting so why not check out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/travel\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our complete guide to travelling to Meribel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Packing_for_an_affordable_Ski_Holiday\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Packing for an affordable Ski Holiday<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Rent_your_ski_equipment_and_prebook_it_in_advance\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8.

The best part? You don\u2019t have to splash out to get good quality clothing that will go the distance. Plus, there are a number of ways to make big savings on the best brands. Such as, shopping at the end of the ski season or during the summer and autumn months when retailers are cutting their prices and sending old season stock to outlets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019d still like to be as environmentally mindful as possible when it comes to your ski wear, check out our blog on the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/the-best-eco-friendly-ski-wear-sustainable-brands\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> best sustainable ski wear brands<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Exchange your money at home &amp; search for the best rates<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exchanging money at home in the UK is a goldie oldie when it comes to ensuring you get the best exchange rate possible. Secondly, almost all outlets (even in the mountains) now accept card payment, with some having even gone cashless! So taking the time to open a travel friendly bank account such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monzo<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or simply a pre-paid travel card that will not incur any overseas charges is another easy way to ensure you get the most for your money when skiing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, now you\u2019re up to speed on how to pack for an affordable ski holiday, make sure you don\u2019t forget a thing by using of our handy <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/packing-for-a-ski-holiday-our-checklist\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ski holiday checklist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/packing-for-a-ski-holiday-our-checklist\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3080 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/skiing-pack-list.png\" alt=\"ski pack list\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" title=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/skiing-pack-list.png 940w, https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/skiing-pack-list-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.skibasics.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/skiing-pack-list-768x644.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 940px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 940\/788;\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keeping_it_affordable_when_you_arrive_at_your_ski_holiday\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping it affordable when you arrive at your ski holiday<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Cook_for_yourself\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12.

Meribel and almost all resorts will be equipped with supermarkets where you\u2019ll be able to purchase food for cooking at home. If you\u2019re self-driving, bringing some of your own store cupboard essentials and stopping at a supermarket at the bottom of the mountain is another effective way to make your ski holiday more affordable. Often prices charged in supermarkets at resort level will be considerably higher than further down the mountain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Eat_in_the_village_rather_than_on_the_slopes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13.

If you\u2019re staying with us in Meribel, you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice from local savoyard delicacies to authentic italians and more.
