Ski trips are expensive – and they’re only getting more so, especially when you have a whole family to kit out with gear and ski passes. I’m sure that, like me, many parents are finding that affordable options to take kids to the mountains are few and far between. Ski operator Sno reports that family ski holidays are six per cent more expensive this winter than in the 2023/24 season, with families choosing to spend more on snow-sure resorts at higher altitudes, at the expense of foregoing some creature comforts.
So the arrival of a new budget hostel catering for families in a ‘secret’ valley connected to the highest ski resort in the Alps caught my attention.
