After Réallon in the Hautes-Alpes and Mount Parnassos in Greece, Roubion-les-Buisses is the third cheapest ski resort in Europe. The daily ski pass costs €20 and you can expect to pay €28 for accommodation during the high season. That’s a total of 48 euros to enjoy the domain, whose slopes open to the public from Saturday 21 December 2024.
According to the rankings, other resorts that are just a few hours from Nice also have great prices. Super Sauze , for example, offers a daily pass for €37, with accommodation available for between €22 and €25 a night, while Valdeblore – La Colmiane, ranks 25th. There are 30km of pistes to ski down for €63.50 , ski pass and accommodation included. That’s pretty hard to beat!
