Quick answer: The cheapest ski package holidays are in Bulgaria (Bansko, Borovets) and Andorra, with week-long flight-plus-hotel-plus-lift deals from around £500–800 per person. Booking early (April–September) and avoiding school holidays cuts the price further.
A ski “package” bundles flights, transfers, accommodation and often a lift pass into one price — which is usually far cheaper than booking each part separately, especially for first-timers. Here is where the cheapest packages are, what you should pay, and how to find the best deals for the 2026/27 season.
Cheapest ski package destinations
Eastern Europe and the Pyrenees deliver the lowest package prices, while the big-name French and Swiss resorts cost the most. These are realistic per-person prices for a week, including flights, half-board accommodation and a lift pass:
| Destination | Country | Typical week (pp) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bansko | Bulgaria | £500–650 | Lowest prices, lively après |
| Borovets | Bulgaria | £520–680 | Beginners, short transfer |
| Soldeu / Pas de la Casa | Andorra | £650–820 | Value + good ski school |
| Sauze d’Oulx / Bardonecchia | Italy | £680–880 | Cheap Alps, good food |
| Les Sybelles / Vars | France | £720–950 | Big French ski area on a budget |
| SkiWelt (Söll/Ellmau) | Austria | £780–980 | Beginners, charm, value Alps |
What you should pay — and what’s included
Half-board (breakfast and dinner) packages save money on a notoriously expensive item: mountain food. Always check whether the lift pass and equipment hire are included — these add £150–250 per person per week if not. A “from” price is usually for early December or mid-January; the same package can cost 50–80% more at Christmas or February half-term.
How to find the cheapest deals
Use mainstream operators — Crystal Ski, Inghams, Sunweb, TUI and Iglu Ski — and compare the same resort across two or three. The cheapest combinations are nearly always:
- Book early (April–September) for early-bird discounts and the best choice of dates.
- Travel in low-season weeks: early December, the week after New Year, or late March.
- Fly midweek and from a regional airport where possible.
- Go self-catered in Bulgaria/Andorra where restaurants are cheap anyway.
