lift passes

I would have thought that €130 for a week long pass is pretty reasonable for a small resort (provided there is enough skiing to get you out every day - not familiar with Ruka so don't know if this applies). Most of the bigger European resorts would be charging somewhere around the €200 mark (for 6 days in high season) with some of the more up-market being even higher.

BTW, it is usually a good bit cheaper to buy a weekly pass or multiple day passes compared with the cumulative daily rates. Depending on resort, you can often use them in neighbouring resorts. So, it would normally make sense to check out the best option carefully. Also keep an eye on whether the resorts are offering family discounts, etc, which can help bring down the cost, if applicable.

Davidmpires: I am pretty sure that the Alpe D'Heuz pass does include the swimming pool and ice rink. However, they insist on Speedo type swimming togs :twisted:. They will not let you in with shorts, though you can hire acceptable attire, if you don't mind the fact that (many) others will have worn them before you :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:.

Who in their perfect mind would hire that.

The chalet we are staying has a whirpool and sauna so i don't think i'll use the pool that much. But i do want to use the ice rink.

Do you have to skate in speedos as well?
