I have often seen it mentioned that the Portes Du Soleil is the best value Ski pass…in the world. That’s a pretty big claim so I thought I would do a little comparison myself. I have kept it simple, just using the official kilometres of the resort and a standard 6 day lift pass in the middle of the season. You can see all the info in the table below and it does appear that on this basis, the Portes du Soleil pass is the best value! And it wasn’t a surprise to me what was at the bottom 🙂
