Determining the cost of a skiing holiday can be a challenging task. There's a lot more to a book than a standard beach break. You can expect to spend around £2000-5000 for a week-long trip. Although this will vary based on the number of family members, destination, length of the trip and personal preference.

We’ve collated prices from 45 of the most popular ski resorts in Europe, giving an average of how much different aspects of a ski holiday cost. We based our figures on a family of four staying for a week in February 2025. We’ve also given some insight on how you can save money on different aspects of your ski holiday.
