The cost of a one-week ski holiday can seem difficult to calculate at first, as it depends on several factors. It matters where you travel, how many days you spend in the mountains, what type of accommodation you choose, how many days your ski pass is valid for, and whether you opt for meals.
Let’s take a closer look at these costs to find out approximately how much a one-week ski holiday for 2 people costs during the early season and peak season.
Accommodation at SissiPark
Lachtal is one of Austria’s most popular ski resorts, where the luxury apartments at SissiPark offer comfortable and practical accommodation. For two people, you can choose between a Studio and a Studio Plus apartment. Thanks to the sofa bed, both can actually accommodate up to 4 people.
In December, during the early season, a Studio Plus apartment equipped with a private sauna costs €1,170 for one week, plus a €102 final cleaning fee. During the peak season, the same apartment costs €1,806 for 6 nights, excluding the final cleaning fee.
Meals
At SissiBistro, guests can choose from an à la carte lunch and dinner menu. SissiPark guests can also opt for half-board, while a separate buffet breakfast is available as well.
The price of breakfast for two people for one week is €228, regardless of the season.
Ski Pass
Lachtal is the second-largest ski area in Styria, offering snow-sure south-facing slopes, a convenient six-person chairlift and authentic mountain huts, all within easy reach of the apartments. SissiPark is located directly next to the ski slopes and lifts, at an altitude of 1,600 metres, making it a particularly convenient choice for skiers. A 6-day adult ski pass costs €293.50 during the early season, while the same pass costs €326 during the peak season.
Early Season or Peak Season?
The peak season runs from December 25 to March 15. If your main goal is to enjoy the best possible skiing conditions, this may be the safer choice. Lachtal’s altitude of 1,600–2,222 metres is a major advantage, as the entire ski area is more likely to be operational during this period, with more stable snow conditions and more hours of sunshine. January and February are particularly good months for those looking for firmer, faster slopes and classic winter conditions.
One of the main advantages of the early season (December 4–24) is that adult day passes are approximately 10% cheaper, while the 6-day ski pass costs €293.50 compared with €326 during the peak season. There are also significantly fewer people, meaning shorter queues at the lifts. This can be particularly pleasant for beginner and intermediate skiers, as the slopes are less crowded.Thanks to Lachtal’s high altitude, there is also a good chance of suitable snow conditions in December.
