Ski passes in Andorra have risen by around 6.8% this season and now cost an average of 190.50 Euros for a 6-day pass, according to a study looking at the lift ticket prices around the world. This increase means that Andorra has retained its position as the most expensive country for lift tickets in Europe. ...The data come from more than 500 ski areas in 35 countries worldwide, and show that prices for Brits are well up this season in most international ski destinations.

I assume Courmayeur is the most expensive then since it cost €215 for 6 days. How glad was I that I booked ahead with the TO and paid £170...

I think this must be a very flawed survey. I assume the average for Andorra is so high because there are only a couple of large linked domains included. For other countries the costs for larger more expensive domains, which cost far more than €190 for 6 days, are equalised by the lower costs at smaller resorts. I can't seem to find details of the survey though to confirm this.

it's not saying that andorra's €190.50 is the most expensive in europe?! further on in the post it mentions that bigger countries with more, bigger and smaller resorts balance those higher costs listed by posters above with the ones obtainable by at smaller resorts.
anyone want to let us know 6-day passes that cost less than andorra's average price?

The Massif pass for the grand Massif €158 (Morrilon Samoens Les Carroz and Sixt does not include Flaine area)
The full Grand massif pass (inc Flaine) is €192, only €1.50 more than the Andora average for Frances 4th biggest area (so I believe)

Wayne, You will love it, where are you going to stay, I'll probably be there from Monday.
I agree that Andorra is expensive, but I really don't know how or where "snow 24" got their info. Earlier this season I was asked by some friends to compare prices within Andorra. GrandValira €42 per day and Valnord €26. I suspect for whatever motive they have just used the most expensive price in their study, further more they might not be comparing like with like i.e. areas of 190+ km of prepared piste!!
BTW I have just returned from Chamonix where I paid €146 for 3 days, but €3 of that was for the card.

I still think the most expensive lift pass per time/km of piste is any of our indoor snow slopes. £20-25 per hour of usage is quite bad value for money compared to a week in resort...

You know it makes sense.

Yeah and what about Xscape, Snowdome etc. I reckon the most expensive per hour is England.
