Hello reader! I often destroy the stereotypes that vacation is very expensive. Believe me, there are many options for the budget traveler. Today we will look at some of the cheapest ski resorts in Europe. I also chirkana about a couple more expensive ones. The weather in spring is so changeable, it is likely that you will still have the opportunity to go riding this year.

Mountains, freezing air, a sea of ​​adrenaline. What could be better than spending the last days of winter outdoors! I have compiled my subjective rating of the best and affordable European ski resorts, where you can ski inexpensively, grab some mulled wine and just look at the beautiful mountains.

Before you start looking at inexpensive ski resorts in Europe, I advise you to look into Decathlon store. They are currently updating their range of equipment; they have good models of equipment at reasonable prices. I recently bought a backpack there and I recommend it to everyone.

Inexpensive ski resorts in Europe - budget and not so

Bansko in Bulgaria

Bansko is not such a popular and promoted resort, but it has long managed to win over all lovers of alpine skiing from all over the world. Do you know where it is on the map or maybe you’ve been there? Be sure to write in the comments.

In Bansko you can find one of the most beautiful mountain ranges of the Pyrenees. In addition, this region is not considered only a ski resort. It is also a beautiful old city with many attractions.

You can come here on vacation from mid-December to mid-April. During this period, there is stable snow cover, the thickness of which sometimes exceeds two meters. The town has good service and varied infrastructure. Here you will find more than six trails, the length of which exceeds 14 kilometers. They are located at an altitude of 2.5 km above sea level.

In Bansko it is easy to book a cozy cheap hotel or expensive apartments. You can also purchase a ski lift ticket, for 7 days you will have to pay 150 euros per adult and 85 euros for a child under 12 years old. Some people prefer to purchase the entire ski package for the same period (it includes: rental, ski pass and training with an instructor), its cost does not exceed 250 euros for an adult and 148 euros for a child. I think if you buy passes in advance you can save a lot.

Where to look for housing in Bansko? Of course, on Booking.com

You will find Bansko 160 km from the capital of Bulgaria. From the capital's airport you can take a taxi to the bus station, and from there, for little money, take a bus to the ski resort. Travel time is up to three hours.

Poiana Brasov in Romania

According to vacationers, the resort is surrounded by a coniferous forest, and the ancient city of Brasov is located nearby. Here you will find 12 tracks with a total length of 14 km, dozens of jumps and modern chairlifts. You will like the town with its excellent ecology, nature, clean mountain air and wonderful landscapes. There is a place for both professionals and beginners to ride here.

When I was in Brasov, I made a short video about Count Dracula's castle, which is located nearby. In general, in Romania everything is fine with cool castles - there are a lot of them, and if you are by car, then in addition to skiing there is always something to see. And Brasov itself is not a city, but a fairy tale. I’m still kicking myself for not writing a blog article about this city.

For active recreation there are several artificial skating rinks, horse riding centers, sports grounds, swimming pools and saunas. In addition, the resort's infrastructure is complemented by restaurants and cafes, where you can enjoy national Romanian cuisine and watch vibrant shows of musicians and dancers.

The resort offers vacationers to stay in budget hotels, but remember that the higher the season, the more expensive it is. A holiday with a classic set of standard services will cost you three hundred euros. For a ski pass (week) you will have to pay 60 euros per adult and 39 euros per child.

Reviews: France or Romania?

Many of my friends have vacationed in France before, but I can say right away that the resorts of this country are significantly more expensive than Romanian ones. Despite the fact that the latter are absolutely not inferior in quality to the slopes and lifts. Of course, I won’t judge places where I haven’t been, but still, I recommend you visit Poiana Brasov to form your own impression of this ski resort.

Davos can be called the purest ski resort in Europe, because people came here to enrich themselves with mountain air back in the 19th century.
