Winter Bargains: One Week on the Piste From GBP 90 Including Lift Pass

COLOGNE, GERMANY--(Marketwire - Dec 7, 2011) - Low-cost hits by SnowTrex are for instance Valfréjus and Super Dévoluy in the French Alps, both with approx. 100 km of piste. A comfortable apartment for one week's stay, costs from GBP 90 per person always including the lift pass.

SnowTrex is Germany's largest winter sports holiday tour operator. The Cologne-based specialists sell their holidays to 90% via the Internet and were the first to offer low-cost ski holiday 9 years ago. The company is therefore following the trend: "Customers are looking to go skiing in winter, require a comfortable accommodation close to the piste, but are also looking to keep the budget low", says Andreas Rühl, SnowTrex CEO. "With SnowTrex the lift pass is always already included", he continues. Especially during the financial crisis this has been very well accepted. A week's ski pass costs at least GBP 100 if you buy it in resort.

Destinations
The most popular low-cost destinations besides Valfréjus and SuperDévoluy are Val d'Allos and Valmeinier, where skiers will find up to 150 km of piste available for only a couple of euro more. "Many people are surprised that there are still real insider tips in the French Alps, which not only offer low prices and great ski areas, but also a lovely atmosphere in quaint mountain villages", says the SnowTrex expert.
