corrections for Vogel.
The resort is quite literally ON lake Bohinj, and it takes about 30 minutes to Bled, not an hour. 
And it's 1 hour from Ljubljana airport, not 90 minutes :)

Current prices (feb24) are 42/day for an adult.

AFTER ALL COSTS in europe it will cost you about 1000 Euro per person Minus Food/etc to go to the BEST resorts on the planet, or about 700 per person minus food/etc to go To a bad one. If your gonna be spending this much money anyways, save another 20-30% and go to the best ones

I was considering Jasna but skipass at 342 euros for an adult for 6 days was pretty much matching Alps so I chose there. The prices on the vid are BS or the cheapest you can get outside season. But then why not to mention Livigno where you have free ski weeks and ski passes for 0 euros!?

[veljkoradovic]

Regarding Vogel: Lake Bohinj is 5 minutes walk away from bottom lift station! Not 40! Lake Bled is 20 minutes away from lift bottom station by car.

Be aware that some of the clips shown for each location is not actually from that location. I recognize a few clips from other locations blended in with the resorts mentioned

[Matttski]

how on earth Bosnia is not on this list is beyond me. Lift pass for a week 130GBP (150 euro), 75km of slopes, accomodation for a week around 400 euro or less, 40 minute transfer, food on the slopes less than 10 euro and beer for less than 4 euro

Where are you getting these prices? Val Cenis is about €250 for 6 days.

[JonWilliams]

Also in Germany and worth checking out: Garmisch, Oberjoch, Nebelhorn. Easily accessible from Memmingen or Munich airport. Small but cheap!

[NoConstrant]

The pricing is outdated. Last year borovets Bulgaria increased day pass to 45€ a day.

[fgfgfgfgt]

Borovets where do you get that price? I see on the internet around €300 for 6 days lift pass. Lower end Hotel is €600

Why are you not even linking our Videocontent by telling your sources? Thats just more than unfair. We produce in Sudelfeld and you guys are using it to make money. An easy and fair link of our Video or your sources would be nice, but you obviously didn't feel like it. 😣

[mako]

Well.. Jasna is anything, but not cheap. For that price, travell anywhere in Austria.

"Yes, a ski resort in Spain!"
It never ceases to amaze me the idea that people have about Spain. Dude, there are several ski resorts in Spain, and not only in the Pyrenees. La Molina, Cerler, Astún, Formigal, Alto Campoo, Manzaneda, Pajares, Baqueira, Sierra Nevada, Valdesqui, Candanchú... Some of them very small and all that, but this video says it like it was the Sahara or something.
You know what we also have? electricity, street lamps, running water, hospitals... yeah, I swear, and since forever! I know right? crazy! lol

Not true info, definitely about Chopok in Slovakia. Daily ski pass is between 50-65 eur depending on how busy it is. Weekly pass is around 360 eur, again depending which day you buy it. The lifts are often not working for whatever reason, mostly for strong winds, but sometimes even without wind and the queus are the longest ever....

[steinadler]

1:32 you talk about Borovets, Bulgaria, but you show the Mooserwirt in Arlberg, Austria.

[maciejtomaka]

For context: Chopok, Jasna, Feb 2025. Ski pass for 4 days: €243. If you know you're defo going there on a particular date, book the ski pass in advance, it'll be cheaper to about €50 per day. If you book for a next day, it's €65 in high season at weekends.

Car park: €20 per day per car. Unless you arrive there very early and have a chance to find a spot on a cheaper one (ca. €10).


Fried cheese with chips: €15-€17. Coffee and beer: ca. €3.70

[Albertinouu]

From whos ass did you get these prices?
Borovets - 500 BGN (256€), 178€ in video
Val Cenis - varies ~150-220€, 90€ in video
Jasna - 262€, 136€ in video

[Mr-Mully]

We own an apartment literally connected to one of the cable cars in serre chevalier, its a great resort been there every year since i was 2, but it doesnt cost 255 euro its more

[ekay]

Honestly Minus Val Cenis, none of this was 'budget', just the word being repeated, and accomodation very similar as in all of alps.

Pay $100 extra for the ski pass and $150 extra for the resort per person and your going to the top resorts in the world, the trip will cost you about 1, 500 per person in reality regardless of resort for a week.

Flights $250 + Transfers $150 + Accomodation $250 + Ski Pass $400 + Equipment $150 = $1200 per person Minus food/Restaurants/Activities

If you are a senior, 70 or above then Baqueira in the Pyrenees charges for a 6day ticket 36 euros or in English £5 a day. For others about 260euros for 6 days plus a large ski area.
