Check out the top 5 budget-friendly places to relax, ski, and snowboard in the Alps.

Mayrhofen, Austria
Mayrhofen has long been popular with a wide range of guests, from those seeking active parties to families with children, who appreciate the excellent value, the friendly approach to younger guests, and the high standard of ski schools.

Mayrhofen’s slopes can be quite packed, but it’s worth noting that there are no direct ski runs back to the village from the main slopes.

Sehl, Austria
SkiWelt is the largest shared ski area in Austria, encompassing some of the most spectacular slopes, starting from the high point of Hohe Salve. The slopes of Sehl extend for a considerable distance from the center, and ski buses are used for easy transportation.

Schladming, Austria
Schladming offers the most affordable food and drink in Austria, making it an ideal holiday destination, especially if your plans include more than just skiing. Schladming is a vibrant and dynamic town, not just a village, and it offers something special, especially with its cozy and beautiful pedestrian center.

Les Deux Alpes, France
The resort’s high altitude, expansive terrain, and affordable prices attract many young people and snowboarding enthusiasts. The maximum slope altitude is 3,750 meters. Advanced skiers and snowboarders will find excellent freeriding opportunities both within the ski area and on the adjacent slopes in La Grave.

Morzine, France
Portes du Soleil is a vast region in France, and while it may not be the most budget-friendly, a holiday here is still more affordable than resorts at higher altitudes. Advanced skiers can test their skills on the slopes above Morzine and in nearby Avoriaz. Portes du Soleil is also ideal for beginners: a package including a lift pass and private lessons is truly worth the money. The village of Portes du Soleil is a charming place with traditional chalet-style architecture.
