Three Low Cost Ski Resorts

Enjoying the thrill of skiing is considered by many as a wealthy person’s game – or at least an activity that can only be enjoyed once every year or so. But skiing doesn’t necessarily have to be costly. We’ve picked three of the cheapest ski resorts in the world. So get your ski travel insurance up to date, and take a look at some lesser known ski locations that will cause minimal stress to your wallet.

Jasna, Slovakia

With a respectable 1000m of vertical drop, Jasna in Slovakia is fast becoming one of Eastern Europe’s most popular ski resorts. Situated in the Low Tatras National Park, this is arguably one of Europe’s most underrated skiing spots, boasting a total of five free ride areas and reliable snow for five months in the year. Best of all, it’s very cheap.

Kolasin, Montenegro

The combination of pine and birch gives an almost Japanese feel to this ski resort, which, while being on the small side, has seen a good deal of investment in recent years. A new six-seater chairlift has been constructed and more modifications are in the pipeline. There isn’t a great deal of accommodation in the resort itself, but the town of Kolasin in only 15 minutes away, and offers bars and restaurants to boot.

Borovets, Bulgaria

The oldest ski resort in Bulgaria, Borovets offers a great deal of charm and character – and is very gentle on your bank balance. Made up of three separate zones, the resort rises up to around 1300 metres. Great for beginners and intermediates, the resort also has a reputation for having fantastic ski instructors. The nightlife is also very lively indeed!

Choosing a resort is very important for your holiday plans but it should be argued it is not as important as purchasing comprehensive wintersports travel insurance to cover you in case the worst happens on the slopes.
