Check dates on SnowTrex
Prices per person from SnowTrex’s partner feed, checked 13 November 2026: the lowest price for that stay length in the 2026/27 season, with the lift pass where stated. That is usually a low-season week with every bed in the room or apartment taken; Christmas, New Year and February half-term weeks cost more, and SnowTrex shows the exact price once you choose dates and the number of people. Distances are from the property description. You book with SnowTrex on its site for your country: snowtrex.co.uk in English, or its German, Dutch, French, Polish or Czech site; we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Getting there: For Les Deux Alpes, the ski area with the most stays here, the main airport is Grenoble Airport (GNB), 110 km by road (about 1 h 30 min); a private transfer from there starts at €409 per vehicle, and a bus or coach from €32 per person (Ben's Bus). Private transfers to Les Deux Alpes start at €395 per vehicle from Lyon (LYS, 157 km). The packages don’t include the journey: compare transfers to Les Deux Alpes from all 7 airports.
Travelling from the UK? Standard travel insurance usually excludes skiing, and a GHIC won't pay for mountain rescue: compare winter sports cover.
What a ski holiday in France costs per person
Per-person prices with the lift pass included, by length of stay: the cheapest offer, and the typical starting price (half of the stays start below it). Checked 13 November 2026. Flights and transfers are extra.
| Stay with lift pass | Cheapest | Typical starting price | Stays |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 nights | €99 | €199 | 76 |

What to know
Prices are per person for a full apartment
The per-person price assumes every bed is taken. Fewer people means a higher price each; the booking page shows the total.
Check what’s extra
Bed linen, towels, final cleaning and the local tourist tax are often charged on arrival in French residences. Budget for them.
Shop before you go up
Supermarkets in the valley are much cheaper than the small shops in high resorts.
Apartments with the pass are the bargain
French purpose-built resorts (Les Deux Alpes, La Plagne, Val Thorens, Les Menuires) sell self-catering apartments with the lift pass for less than a hotel alone in many other countries.
