Free liftpasses are only usually only offered during the early booking season (summer-time) in a bid by Tour Operators to get sales moving, however Alpine Elements are now offering this deal all year round.

This is an especially good deal which is aimed to save skiers more money in these times where the exchange rate is so unfavourable for Sterling.

In order to be able to offer this deal to their guests, Alpine Elements have been working hard with Tourist Offices across France – where lift ticket sales are down by up to 17% in 2010. The aim of this liftpass incentive is clearly to encourage tourism but also to help skiers fight the more expensive Euro costs in France.

Instead of hiding the free passes in package prices – Alpine Elements have decided to pass these savings onto guests. Skiers will notice that Alpine Elements package prices are comparable to other Tour Operators – except with the bonus of a free liftpass. Given the low exchange rate this deal will save skiers up to £215 a head.

Their free liftpass deals are available for the premium French resorts of La Plagne, les Arcs, Tignes, Courchevel, Meribel, Vald’isere.

This deal will be available all winter season, and Alpine Elements will be extending it to early bookers for 2011 ski holidays too.
