How much do ski passes cost for a family?

Example for 2 adults and 2 children aged 5 to 11, with a 6-day pass at the standard high-season rate. The calculation uses each ski area’s adult and child prices.

Ski area Adult 6 days Child 6 days Family total (2 + 2)
Le Grand-Bornand 260.00 € 182.00 € (ages 5-11) 884 €
Espace Diamant 260.00 € 208.00 € (ages 5-14) 936 €
Grand Domaine 299.90 € 245.90 € (ages 5-12) 1,091.60 €, or 982.40 € with the group and family pass

GSI tip: ski passes often account for a substantial share of a week’s ski holiday budget. For a family, passes for a smaller ski area such as Espace Diamant or Le Grand-Bornand cost almost half as much as those for a very large area, while being perfectly suited to beginners and children.

How to save on your ski pass in 2026-2027

1. Buy online and in advance. Le Grand-Bornand uses dynamic pricing: the earlier you buy, the less you pay. Évasion Mont-Blanc offers 6 days for the price of 5 when you buy 10 days before your first day of skiing, during selected periods.

2. Travel at the start or end of the season. In Les 3 Vallées, an adult 6-day pass drops from 421 € to 378.50 € before 19 December and after 9 April. Paradiski offers a 15% discount during the first and last weeks.

3. Buy as a family or group. Options include the group and family pass in Valmorel from 3 passes, the 3+ group offer and family offer at Alpe d’Huez, and the Family Pack and Pack Tribu in Paradiski.

4. Look for discounted weekends. Grand Domaine offers day passes for 29.85 € on selected Saturdays (50% off) and 41.80 € on selected Sundays (30% off), when bought online by the previous evening at the latest.

5. Choose the right ski area. A local ski area is often enough for beginners. In Valmorel, the Valmorel-only pass costs 56.10 € per day, compared with 59.70 € for Grand Domaine.
