Holidu has come up with a list of the most expensive resorts in Europe – and surprisingly no resort in France makes the top 10, whilst only two Swiss resorts do.
The most expensive resorts are mainly in Austria and Italy. Here is the list:
1. Obergurgl-Hochgurgl, Austria – €287 per day
2. Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy – €279.50
3. Obertauern, Austria – €276.50
4. Zermatt (CH) – €273
5. Gitschberg Jochtal (IT) – €238
6. Ischgl (AT) – €228.50
7. St. Moritz – Corviglia (CH) – €222
8. Madonna di Campiglio (IT) – €221
9. Kitzbühel/Kirchberg/KitzSki (AT) – €214.75
10. Hintertux Glacier (AT) – €214
The study considers both daily ski pass prices and accommodation costs per person.
The cheapest resorts are all in France, but it is worth considering that they all have less than 40km of ski domain, have short seasons and are generally hard to get to.
Conversely, despite Zermatt’s relative expense, it has an extensive domain, a long season and excellent public transport links.
