Ski Pack Summary

There are various items which you need to arrange before the start of your holiday:

All skiers & boarders will require a Lift Pass You can order your lift passes online at any point after booking your Ski Beat chalet, up until a few days before departure. Your online order, including pre-payment, is dealt with by our French office, and your lift passes will then be delivered to your chalet for your arrival. There are different rates depending on the different ski areas and your age, and most resorts now have the hands free chip system, making use even easier. See our Ski Pass page for prices and to place your order.

Equipment Hire can also be pre-booked, with the exception of Les Arcs. We use specific shops with a good range of equipment and they offer a discounted rate on the public price. Most of the shops now have an online pre-booking facility: for Les Arcs you can arrange ski hire on arrival in resort, and still benefit from a discounted rate.

Ski School: We advise that you pre-book ski school, especially on peak holiday dates. As you know your specific requirements, we ask that you book direct with the ski school. Please let them know you are staying with Ski Beat, and the name of your chalet. For links to their websites, and more details, go to our Ski Schools page.

It is vital that you have proper ski Insurance for your holiday. You can purchase a Fogg Travel Insurance policy through us, or if you have your own policy, we ask that you include details on your booking form. Your insurance should be in place from the time you pay your deposits: most comprehensive policies cover cancellation in the event of illness or injury prior to departure

When travelling within the European Union it is recommended that you carry the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). If you need to utilise this card while on your holiday and where costs to insurers are shown to be minimised, the medical excess applicable under Ski Beat travel insurance is reduced to NIL. The EHIC does not pay for any rescue services. The quickest and easiest way to get an EHIC is to apply online

Please see our Ski Clothing page for links - it is cheaper to buy ski clothing in the UK as resort prices are high and very few shops hire ski clothes.
