At Alpinium, we make organising your holiday easy by organising lift passes for you so your holiday runs smoothly and you can relax from the moment you leave home knowing that everything is taken care of. It also means you can go seamlessly from the chalet to the first lift avoiding those long queues to buy lift passes on the first morning. But every year they increase in price to support the development of the resorts, so what will they cost you this winter and what do they include?
Check the map to see which areas are covered by each type of lift pass. We recommend intermediates and above choose the full Paradiski area to give you the best choice of runs and experiences. A Paradiski pass will also give you access to the ‘Fast Lanes’ available on many lifts in Les Arcs so you can beat the queues (particularly useful during peak weeks). If you opt for La Plagne only, daily extensions to go to Les Arcs on the exciting Vanoise Express cable car can be purchased at €26 for adults and €21 for children and seniors. It’s also worth considering the ski area:
Paradiski: 425km of pistes, 475 pistes, 141 ski lifts.
What’s new for2024-2025? New Transarc gondola in Les Arcs (10-seat cabins to Col de la Chalat 2,600m in just 13 minutes, compared to 20 minutes previously), new discovery areas combining stunning viewpoints, exploration, curiosity and thrills
La Plagne: 225km of pistes, 132 pistes, 74 ski lifts.
What’s new for 2024-2025? AEROLIVE - open air cabins on the new gondola to theglacier! A world first, you are harnessed into an open air cabin for anunprecedented adrenaline fuelled ride up to the glacier!

If you are starting lessons, please check with your school to see if you need a lift pass straightaway. Most ski resorts have electronic gates on all their lifts now and a pass is required but likely to be free. In Montchavin, Beginners have the option of a ‘Village’ Pass, a limited area covering Montchavin and Les Coches at a reduced rate of €50 a day or a ‘Cool Ski’ pass at €35 a day which gives access to a limited, safe and easy but small area. These passes can only be purchased in resort.
Children aged 4 or under are free (an electronic pass is still required).
Super Seniors 75 or over are €10 on all passes.
If you are arriving early to ski on your arrival day, a 6-day PARADISKI pass can include an afternoon’s skiing valid from 12.30. This is cheaper than a 7-day pass or any other combination of passes. If you are landing early and using Alpinium’s transfer service, unless other agreed you will not arrive in time to avail of this option. This option is not available if you are departing late on departure day and a 7-day pass is the best option in this instance. You will need to indicate you require the extra afternoon on your order.
When you make a booking with Alpinium, we send details and an order form to be completed. This can be done as a group or individually. Group leaders can forward this email to friends and/or family for them to take care of their requirements directly with us. Payment in Euros can be made by bank transfer or Visa/Mastercard. Payment can also be done individually or as a group. NB: The contract for the lift pass remains between yourself and the lift pass company.
Carré Neige is the cheapest way to get you off the mountain in the event of an accident. Carré Neige is €3.30 per person per day and is available on all lift passes. We strongly recommend adding Carré Neige to your order. Please ensure you also have Travel Insurance and a valid GHIC/EHIC card.
Please do not hesitate to contact Laura with any queries about your lift passes.
