Tirol’s Top Ski Saver Tips To Beat The Credit CrunchThe only crunch you want to hear this coming season is the sound of your ski boots crunching through the freshly laid snow. So follow the Tirol Tourist Board’s top tips to survive the credit-crunch and still get out on the slopes for 2009-10.

Choose your resort carefully – stay 3*, ski 5*. Just a stone’s throw away from some of the world’s top ski areas are lesser known cosy mountain villages that remain the best value for money, offering genuine and authentic Tirolean hospitality.
 

  • Weigh up your accommodation options – you don’t just have to choose between hotels, chalets or apartments the Tirol has a myriad choice from B&B’s to small pensions to farm houses.

  • If you can’t afford a week, opt for a short break. Most of the packages listed below also offer short break options, whilst some of the bigger resorts will only offer Saturday-Saturday durations. And with daily flights from the UK, it has never been so easy.

  • Don’t purchase a full 6-day whole area pass if you are only going to ski mornings or if you are only going to stick to blue runs all week.

  • Make the local tourist office your first port of call – some offer weekly cards entitling you to discounts on après-ski activities, local restaurants and will advertise any free events happening in resort.

  • Pop into MPreis or another local supermarket bakery every morning on your way to the slopes – most will make up sandwiches for you.

  • Money too tight for après-ski activities? Make your own fun by building a snowman, sledging or having a snowball fight.
