The cost of a ski pass is one of the most significant factors when planning a snow holiday. Prices vary enormously from resort to resort, and the differences do not always reflect the quality of the experience in a proportional way. Here is an updated comparison for the 2025-2026 season.
The major resorts: what you pay

The Dolomiti Superski circuit is the world’s largest with over 1,200 km of pistes:

Italy’s most affordable resorts
| Resort | Daily | Region |
|---|---|---|
| Bielmonte | 25 EUR | Piedmont |
| Borno | 28 EUR | Lombardy |
| Lavarone | 30 EUR | Trentino |
| Corno alle Scale | 30 EUR | Emilia-Romagna |
| Foppolo | 32 EUR | Lombardy |
| Abetone | 35 EUR | Tuscany |
| Ovindoli | 35 EUR | Abruzzo |
| Pejo | 38 EUR | Trentino |
| Campitello Matese | 30 EUR | Molise |
Cost per kilometre of piste
An objective way to compare ski pass value is to calculate the cost per kilometre of piste available:
| Resort | Daily | Km pistes | EUR/km |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dolomiti Superski | 78 EUR | 1,200 | 0.07 EUR |
| Via Lattea | 48 EUR | 400 | 0.12 EUR |
| Cervinia | 65 EUR | 360 | 0.18 EUR |
| Madonna di Campiglio | 62 EUR | 150 | 0.41 EUR |
| Bormio | 55 EUR | 50 | 1.10 EUR |
| Pila | 45 EUR | 70 | 0.64 EUR |
| Borno | 28 EUR | 15 | 1.87 EUR |
Dolomiti Superski wins clearly on EUR/km terms. However, the ratio shifts if you consider the pistes actually usable in a day (nobody skis 1,200 km in one day).
How to save on ski passes
Advance online purchase
The majority of resorts offer discounts of 10-15% for online purchases made at least 7 days in advance. Some (such as Livigno and Madonna di Campiglio) run flash sales with discounts up to 20%.
Multi-day passes
The daily cost drops significantly with multi-day passes. On average, a 6-day pass costs the equivalent of 4.5 to 5 single days.
