Ski Passes with YSE Discounts
The grid below shows the Winter 2026-27 ski pass prices for 6 and 13 days.
Ordering through YSE is always cheaper, often by a large margin, and passes purchased through YSE will be delivered to your chalet. We can only offer passes starting on Sunday or Monday, and only to guests booked on a YSE holiday.
The juniors and seniors pass is for 8 to 18-year olds inclusively as well as adults of 65 to 74 years. Children aged 7 years or younger receive a completely free ski pass, as do adults from 75 years, though an actual pass is required.
The 6-day ski pass automatically includes a 7th day. This is of no advantage to people coming by air, who will arrive too late and leave too early to ski on their 7th day, but may interest people driving to Val d’Isère, who can choose to start this 7-day ski pass on the day they arrive or use it on the day they leave. We just need to know if you wish your pass to start on the Sunday or Monday. And if you are coming for two weeks, the 13-day ski pass is also valid for a 14th day.
(Needless to say, if you do choose to ski on 7 or 14 days, your chalet will not be ready before 4pm on the day you arrive, and we have to ask you to vacate it by 10am on your departure day so we can prepare it for the next guests.)
All the 6-11 day ski passes include two visits to the swimming pool in Val d’Isère. If you are purchasing a pass for 12-15 days you will be able to make four visits to the pool.
YSE ski pass prices for Winter 2026-27. Applicable all season converted into £ Sterling at 1.15.
Only guests booked on a YSE holiday for Winter 2026-27 can benefit from these ski passes.
All ski passes must be booked and paid for at least three weeks prior to departure.
FAMILY PASS
Winter 2026-27
A family of 2 adults and 2 children (aged 8-18) will find it cheaper to purchase a Family Pass through YSE. You no longer have to be related, just paying together.
2 adults and 2 children pay a total of £1,150 with the exception of 6 December when the public prices are lower and so our price for the family price is £960.
Groups with more than 2 children will find that it is cheaper to buy separate child pass(es), after buying a family pass for 2 adults and 2 children.
Please let us know if you wish to purchase a family pass. As above we can offer 6-day family passes which are also valid for a 7th day. You need to let us know whether your passes should start on Sunday or Monday.
The 13-14 day rate is £2,300 (£1,920 if starting on 6 or 7 December). Again you will need to let us know which day you would like your passes to start – Sunday or Monday.
Our family ski pass rates are only available to those who have booked a YSE holiday.
CARRÉ NEIGE
Due to a new interpretation of EU law the STVI can no longer let us sell their ski insurance, Carré Neige, so clients who require it will have to take their ski pass to an STVI window and add it at €3.50 per day which applies to everyone including those with aged related reduced and free ski passes.
Beware: it does not replace a proper travel insurance, because it gives no third-party liability cover, but it can be a useful addition.
Carré Neige is primarily to rescue you from the mountain in the unlikely event that you are hurt. The pisteurs always rescue anyone who is in trouble, on piste, off piste, or miles from anywhere, but Carré Neige saves you having to pay, though it only covers off-piste accessible from the lifts (rescue from further afield is normally financed by the state). It will pay all of your medical costs in France if you are injured through a ski/snowboard or toboggan accident and refund the unused parts of your lift pass and ski lessons, and even transport you home if necessary, as long as you are not already covered by another insurance. If you are ill or injured not skiing/snowboarding/tobogganing, Carré Neige will refund the unused days of your ski pass and lessons but not your medical expenses. You need to have a GHIC (obtained in the UK). If the doctor or pisteur says you were drunk (surely not!), Carré Neige won’t pay anything.
BEGINNER SKI PASS
All the little lifts at the foot of the Solaise and La Daille slopes are free to everyone. This is ideal for beginners, especially small children who can go up and down these lifts with their ski school or their parents, staying at the slightly more sheltered resort-level.
There are more nursery slopes at the top of Solaise, so beginners are no longer confined to the nursery slopes at resort-level (where those beginner lifts are free). Beginners will, however, need a special ski pass to access these higher nursery slopes. The price is around €40 per day.
The ESF, Evolution 2, Oxygene and Neva (was Prosneige) ski schools offer a great deal for a 6-day ski pass covering all the lifts in Val d’Isère and Tignes when you book beginner or almost-beginner lessons with them (5 or 6 mornings, afternoons or whole-day lessons). Costing around €230, it is excellent value since the ski pass is valid when in the class and also when not skiing with your instructor, and it covers the entire Val d’Isère and Tignes ski area. Some of the ski schools will add it to the cost of their lessons (which will then appear expensive), and others will charge for the ski pass separately. YSE cannot offer this special ski pass directly – it must be booked via the ski schools.
PEDESTRIAN PASS
The cost of a pedestrian pass is €19 for a return trip on one lift and €23 for a day pass, or €78 for a 6-day pass. These passes can be bought from the STVI ticket offices at the bottom of the main lifts.
