Montenegro Is Home To The World’s Most Affordable Ski Resort, According to New Research, Canada Reviews

Skiing is far from the ultra-luxe and exclusive break that it used to be. In fact, while the biggest and most famous resorts still charge a hefty price for ski passes and accommodation, there are plenty of destinations across the planet with much more accessible offerings. 

To shed some light on where exactly these are, SportsCover Direct has analysed more than 50 ski resorts on indicators including the price of a main season day adult ski pass and a child’s ski pass. 

Recommended: Europe’s best budget-friendly ski resorts, according to an expert. 

The planet’s best value ski resort? According to this research, it’s Kolašin 1450/​Kolašin 1600 in Montenegro. Here, an adult pass costs just €25 and a child’s €16.50, meaning a family of four can ski for €83 per day – pretty reasonable, right?

Second on the ranking went to Dundret Lapland – Gällivare, a ski resort in Sweden, and in third place was Via Lattea, which is in France and Italy. Clearly, there are bargains to be found in quintessential ski destinations; you just need to know where to look.
