Think about the needs of children and people with reduced mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a hotel room may be suitable for a couple or a solo traveller, it rarely meets the needs of a family or a group of friends.

This figure will obviously be affected by the activities you choose, as well as the time of year and your choice of resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accommodation generally accounts for a good third of your final expenditure. Ski passes and food account for about 15% each (more if you dine out every evening). You\u2019ll also need to add equipment hire and the cost of the return journey to your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/skiing-holiday-cost-breakdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>article<\/strong><\/a> will give you an idea of prices and practical advice on how to cut your costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"physique\">Get yourself in shape for skiing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Skiing is a sport. If you&#8217;re planning to spend a significant amount of time on the slopes, it&#8217;s important that you\u2019re in <strong>good physical condition<\/strong>. Being out of shape not only causes aches and pains, which can ruin your holiday, but also increases the risk of injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/pre-ski-holiday-exercises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>seven simple exercises<\/strong><\/a> to do on a daily basis in the weeks leading up to your skiing holiday.

For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.combloux.com\/en\/profiter\/ski\/forfaits-ski\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ski passes available in Combloux<\/strong><\/a> give access either to the village slopes, the reduced Portes du Mont-Blanc ski area, or the entire \u00c9vasion Mont-Blanc ski area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many resorts offer exceptional reductions on their ski passes if you book in September and October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to avoid the queues, we advise you to book your ski pass online in advance. All you have to do then is collect it on the day of your arrival. The ticket offices and slopes are obviously much easier to use if you stay outside the peak periods (see the table at the start of this article).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lecons\">Taking a ski lesson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re new to skiing (or any other board sport), returning to the sport after a long break, or looking to improve your technique, it can be worthwhile signing up for a course of <strong>ski lessons<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/ski-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>schools in the resorts<\/strong><\/a>, and sessions come in a variety of formats, depending on your needs. When making your choice, you&#8217;ll need to take into account your budget, your level, the format you&#8217;re interested in (group or individual lessons) and your personal goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-ovo-cta-button\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/ski-instructor\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\">ADVICE ON CHOOSING YOUR SKI INSTRUCTOR<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"familles\">Advice for families<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Alpine resorts offer facilities, services and activities for all ages.

These properties can be recognised by our \u201c<strong>Cool for Kids<\/strong>\u201d label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"risques\">Risks and accidents in the mountains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Being well prepared for the ski season in France means understanding the <strong>dangers of the mountains<\/strong> and knowing what to do in the event of injury or accident.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/mountain-storm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>storm<\/strong><\/a>, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/avalanches-in-the-mountains\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>avalanche<\/strong><\/a>, acute mountain sickness (altitude-related) or a simple fall, it&#8217;s a good idea to know where the <strong>altitude medical centres<\/strong> are in your resort. Find out before you venture out, and make sure you take a charged mobile phone with you, with the GPS function activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ebebe2\"><strong>Good to know: <\/strong>If you have any problems, you can contact the mountain emergency services by dialling <strong>112<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event of a major problem, you should be aware that the costs of an operation and transport to a hospital are not covered by the Assurance Maladie. As an estimate, a helicopter flight costs around \u20ac30 per minute.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may therefore be worthwhile taking out<strong> specific insurance<\/strong> for your skiing holiday before your trip. Some resorts offer to include this insurance in their ski pass, at an additional cost.
