Ski packs

Lift passes are pre-bookable and in many resorts there is the option of booking either a full area or local pass.

As part of our Representative Service, your lift pass will be ready for you to take the first lift in the morning. This 'fastpass' service means your lift pass will either be delivered to your accommodation or available for you to collect from your Representative at a central point, usually the ski hire shop. See the resort pages on this site to see if photos or deposits are required.

We also offer the service to pre-book skis, boots and snowboards.

We choose ski hire shops that are convenient for our locations and your Crystal Representative will give you a voucher on the transfer coach so you can collect the equipment at your leisure. Our ski hire shops are chosen for their professional service, quality equipment and the use of specialised technology to adjust bindings ensuring the maximum safety for the skier.

It is now compulsory for all children aged 13 years and under to wear ski helmets in Slovenia and aged 14 years and under in Italy.

In other countries, ski schools do not insist on the use of helmets as most children's lessons are in designated children's skiing areas. But please note that some resorts have made helmets compulsory and we recommend that children wear a helmet, which are pre-bookable in most of our resorts.

We now have a selection of pre-bookable packages to make your holiday even better value for money. Look out for these on the extras page and book today to assure availability and save on price.
