Skiing is not a cheap sport and the cost of extras such as ski passes, equipment and lessons can push the budget to the limit. But there are places where it is possible to get a good ski deal, and some skiing holidays to France can be reasonably priced.
By shopping around and being careful, it is still possible to save money. If there is a group of you travelling it is worth considering hiring a car and driving to your destination. Food at ski resorts can be very expensive so look around for cheap places to eat. Clothing does not have to be the highest standard as long as it is warm and comfortable since fashion is not the most important factor.
Andorra used to be a cheap place for ski holidays but with the advent of the Euro it is now necessary to travel further afield. Eastern European destinations such as Bulgaria are worth a try although generally the destinations are not up to the standard of the French resorts. Many of the travel firms now offer skiing holidays, not just the specialist ones, but the summer package firms too. There can be bargains to be had with all of them. If your accommodation is included in the price as well as your meals, then it can be a really cheap way to holiday. There are bargains to be had especially if you are not restricted to times and dates of travel.
