Can't find a similar topic even though I recall seeing one some time ago. What resorts in Europe offer good discounts for 70+?
So far I've found sierra nevada offers season ticket for 100euro.

It used to be free or very cheap in Grandvalira Andorra. I remember some guy in front of me buying his discount ticket then smiling at me “at least there’s one advantage of aging!”

Discounted in 3V 65-74 and cheap, but no longer free for 75+.
Tignes/VdI is free for 75+.
Things have changed a lot for this season: for example I had a free pass in Bacqueira Beret a few years ago, but I expect to pay this year, though not much.
Maybe pick a few resorts you might like to go to and check the prices for each one. There will be discounts, but some are indeed measly.
Not bad being able to ski for nothing in the whole of the Espace Killy, though, even if quite a few lifts were shut when I was there.

Yep. My dad was most impressed last year (he's more impressed that it's free in Tignes....he's a Yorkshireman so 10 Euro is worth the saving)

Looks like in most of the places it's at least 5 more years before it get's cheaper, although I won't be surprised if the limits go up.

@snowyc, I am afraid turning 70 isn't enough. What offers there are now require you to be 75. And when you are 75....?
A bit like the state pension my wife thought she would get at 60 which then advanced faster than she aged.
(For what it is worth, I am another who might have hoped to benefit by now, but am going to have to accept a measly 10 or 20% discount).
