Your decision should be based on three simple steps:
Identify Your Ski Dates: Pinpoint your skiing dates and stay duration.
Check Pass Availability: Confirm which passes (CLP, MBU, Early Bird) are available for your specific dates using the table above.
Consider Key Factors:
Accommodation Location: Where are you staying and how easy is transport to the lifts?
Skill Level: Beginners and intermediate skiers often find CLP sufficient. Proficient/off-piste skiers typically need the MBU for maximum terrain access.
Mobility: Do you have a car or rely on public transport? MBU includes more transport benefits.
Expert Guidance: Choosing the right pass can be complex. Call our team at +33 (0) 6 37 05 62 13 for personalized recommendations tailored to your specific requirements.
Essential Pass Requirements
Smart Card: Every pass requires a mandatory, non-refundable €3.00 Smart Card (badge) to activate the turnstiles. These cards are reusable.
Photo: A photo is required for passes longer than 9 days.
Multiple Passes: If your trip spans two different pass periods (e.g., CLP then MBU), you will need a separate smart card for each pass.

| Feature | Details |
| Cost | €3.60 per person per day, regardless of age. |
