If you're looking to save money on your lift pass, make sure you're check out the best ways to reduce the overall cost. Quite often the pricing structures can be complex, so it's worth reading our guide below to give you some insights, depending on your circumstances.

Group ski passes
The Three Valleys Pass offers discounts for groups of three or more people skiing together. So, if you're skiing as a group then go for the Tribu passes and save. To qualify for this offer, all the passes must be for the same ski area and duration and bought together online in one payment. These passes are available for six or seven days. Special discounts are available to groups of 20 and more, please contact the ski pass offices in resort for details.

Family ski passes
Family discounts are available for both the Courchevel and 3 Valleys pass. Everyone in the family group pays the child's rate! Your family needs to be made up of a minimum of two adults and two children (aged 5-18 yrs), but you can include a maximum of seven children for the same price per person. To benefit from the discount, at least four identical ski passes must be bought online in one transaction. Proof of age will be requested for children and seniors, either at the moment of sale or in resort. Ages on the first day of skiing are taken into account and each member of the family will also require their own hands-free pass. 

Early and late season discounts
During the first and last few weeks of the season, reduced rates apply to both the Courchevel and Three Valleys area passes. The snow cover may not be 100% across the resort but the pistes will be quieter, the service in bars and restaurants less frenetic and you could be very lucky with the weather.

Weekend specials 
Whether you are skiing alone or with friends, you can benefit from weekend discounts if you ski on a Saturday, or Saturday and Sunday, for the 3 Valleys ski pass. This offer can only be purchased online but it will give you up to 20% off the normal rate for a one or two-day pass.

Your ninth ski day is free and then each sixth day after that. This pass is only available to buy online, and there is an annual subscription fee.

3. Any discounts you may be eligible for will be automatically applied to the price of your passes.

5. You can also choose if you want ski insurance or not – we recommend you add it.
6. Create an account with your personal details.
7. Choose whether you want your ski passes to be delivered to your home address for a small fee (allow at least 10 days for delivery outside France and seven days within France), or you prefer to pick them up at one of the ski pass offices in resort.
8. Pay for your ski passes.

That's it, you're all ready to hit the slopes!

How to buy your Courchevel ski passes in resort
You can also buy your pass at a lift pass office when you get to resort. If you're uncertain of the pass you need or are looking to see how the weather is before buying your pass, then this can be a good option. The lift pass office staff is also great at advising exactly which pass is best for you while some passes, such as pedestrian and beginner lift passes, are only available at the ski pass offices. Be warned, though, you may have to queue, especially at busy times.

Ski passes in Courchevel are loaded onto a rechargeable SmartMedia card, which is more or less the size of a credit card and has a chip that stores the lift pass information. This hands-free card is read remotely at the entrance of the lifts, so you just need it to put it in a pocket on your left side (many ski jackets have a special pocket on the left sleeve) and the turnstile will activate remotely as you pass through. Keep it away from your credit cards, mobile phone or other ski passes as they may obstruct the card reading. Hands-free cards cost €3 in Courchevel, and this fee is not refundable.

What is a ski pass WTP number? You can recharge and top-up your Courchevel hands-free card as many times as you want over several years. In order to do so, you need to enter the card's WTP (Wireless Transaction Protocol) number when purchasing your pass online. You can find this number on your card. After you've recharged your hands-free card in advance, you can generally go directly to the lifts without having to stop at the lift pass offices.
