FIS Publish Child Lift Ticket Pricing Report

FIS Publish Child Lift Ticket Pricing Report

Published : 26-Jul-2014 08:56



A new report on the cost of lift tickets in ski resorts around the world for children has been published by the International Ski Federation (FIS).

The report, written by J2Ski's news editor Patrick Thorne, looks at the high season lift ticket prices for children in 700 ski areas in 50 countries worldwide.

For the leading countries, the report collected child lift ticket prices and looked at the different discount age ranges from free passes for younger children (which in some cases were found to extend right up to age 12 or older), discount passes for younger children, teen or youth rates for older children, and then the age at which resorts asked children to pay adult prices if still under 18.

Average age bands for each level of discount from all resorts surveyed in that country were calculated, along with average child prices year by year.

Prices quoted are based on high season, non-discounted tickets from last winter. The report also lists initiatives offered by resorts in each country to reduce prices for children.
