Hoped you enjoyed the video!
Coming down from Munich to Worgl on the motorway- Austria has waived the need for a vignette, just for that section of autobahn.
Car hire at Munich has gone up but it's still particularly good value when you compare it to the cost of getting to resort, plus the increased flexibility it gives you
Yep - I like Austria too. Easy travel, great skiing and you won't be ripped-off on the slopes. And hotel standards are high.
Great video.
Thanks bud!
true
Check out Brasov or Predeal in Romania… omg rentals were like 50 lei or 11.36 for ski boots n helmet. Train from Bucharest to either was 8-12$ each way. Airbnb was 35$ a night. Ski lift was Weird but basically a day was like 20-30 I believe, so cheaper for a week or season I bet.
I can do a week in france for £800 easy lol but yes austria looks cheaper! I think an interesting metric for ski passes is price per km. Thats where france, austria and italy really shine.
Also another great thing about many Austrian resorts is the modernity of its lifts. DONT underestimate how much modern dual speed lifts improve your trip. They make a massive difference. Both in reduced ride times and fewer queues.
im trying to book a trip for Feburary next year (2022) between the 11th and the 19th and need some help. It'd be me and three other friends so 4 of us in total. We live in the UK and were looking at going to France but none of us have booked a ski holiday before. Do you think you could help me out?
@@rainehughes3748 sure. And dont you mean 2023?
For a ski holiday you can either look for a package deal or book it all yourselves.
Sunweb is a great place for cheap package deals. They often help with accomodation, ski passes and even flights.
Most trips and, accommodations and ski passes work on you doing 6 days of skiing for the week.
Things you need to book for a trip:
Accomodation
Ski hire
Airport to resort transfer
Skipass (which you can buy at the resort if you want but check)
Insurance
Flights
If you do it all yourself, airbnb is great to find more interesting places that are still often cheap.
Make sure you arrive early to give yourself time to pick up your gear THE DAY BEFORE you ski. Makes a huge difference to have it all ready the next morning so you can just crack on.
If you want to save on food, get a place with a kitchen. And if you are driving to the resort, go to a supermarket in a town to get your food for the week before driving up the mountain.
Austrian resorts tend to have more connected and cheaper transfers as the skiing villages are lower in altitude. French big resorts are higher up and hence harder to get to.
Good tips to economise:
Cook your own meals and make packed lunches.
Share a large suitcase per two people for flights.
If you need to buy gear, go second hand or cheap brands like quechua, dare2b etc
@@Hello_there_obi THANK YOU SM BRO THAT HELPED ALOOOOOT!! Yh sorry I did mean 2023 😅
I think you can add snow making/ grooming to that list too, especially in the SKIWELT area.
@@mattgeraghty6658 very true! They have invested big time in that
Lmao it was 250 pp for a day in Viriginia when I took my boyfriend (not including equipment rental). Literally America takes the cake when its comes to keeping the poor from doing anything.
I just moved to Belgium and my jaw is permanently on the floor with how cheap it is in comparison to USA.
This is really helpful. Thanks!
nice review! we in germany have also a parts of the alps where you can go cheap skiing.
How cheap? What places?
@@basedpatriotLT Zugspitze, Sudelfeld for example, is like 50€ a day or so
Yep. Breckenridge colorado. Lift pass for 3 days boarding last season 770 dollars 😕 slopes are the best of anywhere in the world I've been so far though
But the difference is, anything outside of the trails are considered as off-piste and you are responsible for yourself. You can hire a guide but they cost couple hundred euros a day. If you love tree skiing, US & Canada is the place to go.
Yeah that $150 per day pass at Breck is steep. We went around the corner to Copper for a day and saved $100. All in all that trip cost me $4K for three days of skiing. I have always found Europe (Switzerland) to be a better bargain but it’s a seven day trip. Definitely do the half board!!
Check out Romania's ones: Brasov, Predal, etc
You really skipped both US and Switzerland while mentioning places to ski?
Yes, because I'm not a multimillionaire 🤣
@@lookship - so Japan is cheap? Ever been there 😜
@@lookship did you actually delete my comment? wtf bro
@@pperoni7047 no
@@lookship Yeah but they're still definately top 7 most popular places to ski lol, and I thought that was what you were refering to while mentioning countries. But yes they're incredibly expensive too.
This calls for an update - because prices have changed upwards like haaard...
I haven't been back yet 😅
Great vid. May I ask what hotel you used?
Thank you great video!!
Really helpful, thank you
Roughly said...at the moment you could do a week Skiing/boarding vacation for around 1000€
Wow, $350 US per day to snow ski. At least lodging is 6x cheaper than Colorado so it's still much cheaper.
i am sure.. you are a math genius.
Nice video pal 👌
Why italy is more expensive? Austria seems to be more expensive country on general compared to italy. Salaries are higher etc
Ski passes are more expensive!
@@mamamia6925 Yes, but for what reason the ski passes more expensive in Italy? Smaller amount of resorts which makes you charge more per resort? While Austria has much more so the competition drives prices lower?
@@basedpatriotLT From what I know the Italian alps are cheaper in terms of living
@@pontuseidhammer2196 That is what we all know. This was the reason why I was curious, why Italian alps are more expensive.
@@basedpatriotLT Good question but Austria is very packed in that regard and there are small and big ski resorts everywhere. Skiing also is national sport, it's all around and relatively easy accessible even for average Joe. Skiing is a bit less exclusive here i think, many here learn it in elementry school as normal part of the curriculum.
So much cheaper than those in North America. Overall, skiing is dying fun sports.
SOLD!
For an extra £200/300 you can ski in 3 resorts from Banff Canada fo 2 weeks. Forget Europe.
Cant even compare poor Canadian culture and vibe with European.
Amazing
I want some help with putting together a trip to Austria in late dec. Can you help?
I know I’m a bit late. I like to use weski which puts everything into a package so you can find the cheapest places to go. Then once you’ve found the cheapest deal do it all yourself separately. I’ve just booked to go serre chevalier and from booking everything individually, saved around £250.
Austria is a little more expensive to book than France but much cheaper when you’re there to eat out and drink beer etc
If you go over Christmas it’s quite cheap too if you don’t mind that
Anyone know what hotel is at 2.07 with the pool outside?
Aqua Dome Wellness Hotel in Längenfeld Austria.
Skip.
