Prices per person from SnowTrex’s partner feed, checked 13 November 2026: the lowest price for that stay length in the 2026/27 season, with the lift pass where stated. That is usually a low-season week with every bed in the room or apartment taken; Christmas, New Year and February half-term weeks cost more, and SnowTrex shows the exact price once you choose dates and the number of people.
