Andorra Tops European Average Lift Ticket Price League

An annual study of lift ticket prices charged by more than 500 ski areas in 35 countries worldwide has reported that prices for British guests are well up this season to most international ski destinations.The findings are published as part of the World Lift Ticket Price Report 2009, the eighth annual edition of the Report by Scottish based independent research company Snow24. The Report compares the cost of a six-day, high-season, non-discounted ticket bought in resort in hundreds of resorts around the world including off-the-beaten-track ski destinations like Argentina, China, Iran and Romania.
Following years of having the highest lift ticket price inflation in Europe, Andorra retained its position as the most expensive country for lift tickets in the continent with a 6.8% rise in the average ticket cost in Euros to 190.50 Euros.
For Brits the weak pound meant that prices actually rose by a much greater percentage of 28.8% to around 172 pounds for a six day pass. Coming on top of a 19% rise in cost for Brits spread over the previous two seasons, it means that Andorra's lift ticket prices have risen by nearly half over the past three years for British buyers.
