Skiing or snowboarding on snow-covered slopes is often seen as a costly vacation due to expenses such as equipment rental, accommodation, and travel. However, a money-saving expert has shared insights on a European skiing destination that offers a complete package for just £200 per person.
Chelsea, a popular travel expert with over 180K TikTok followers, recently appeared on This Morning to discuss how she managed to book a three-night ski trip to Zakopane, Poland, for only £200. Zakopane, located in the Tatras Mountains, is known for its picturesque snowy terrain during the ski season, thermal pools for relaxation, and diverse culinary scene.
According to Chelsea, the £200 budget covers a three-night stay inclusive of flights, transfers, ski lessons, and equipment rental. Travellers can fly into Kraków and take a two-hour bus ride costing £7.50 to reach the resort. Chelsea highlighted that Zakopane is ideal for beginners, offering affordable ski lessons and equipment rental at around £30 per day, significantly lower than other European ski resorts.
Chelsea shared her money-saving tip, mentioning a new website called Heidi that allows users to search for customized skiing holiday packages based on their preferences. By using filters like skill level, family-friendly options, or short transfer times, travellers can find budget-friendly deals and significant savings compared to the high costs at other ski resorts.
After appearing on This Morning, Chelsea shared additional tips on her TikTok account and suggested exploring Heidi Holidays for budget-friendly solo trips. She emphasized the benefits of booking independently to avoid extra fees and detailed a previous affordable ski trip to Borovets, Bulgaria, where she managed to cover all expenses for a 3-night stay at £410.
Chelsea expressed her plan to further explore budget-friendly skiing options in Zakopane, Poland, and highlighted the affordability and beginner-friendly nature of both Zakopane and Borovets for those looking to start their skiing journey without breaking the bank.
