Montenegro has been declared the most affordable ski destination in the world for one-day family skiing, according to a new global study covering more than 50 ski resorts. The analysis confirms that the domestic centers Kolašin 1450 and Kolašin 1600 offer the best price-to-quality ratio, outperforming even destinations with a long tradition of winter tourism.
According to data from SportsCover Direct, an adult day pass in Kolašin costs €25, while a child’s pass costs €16.50. This means a family of four can spend a day on the snow for a total of €83 — a figure that significantly diverges from the European and global average. This result further positions Montenegro as an affordable and competitive winter destination in the region and beyond.
In second place is the Swedish resort Dundret Lapland in the Gällivare area, while third place went to Via Lattea, a large ski region spanning between France and Italy.
These results show that even in countries with a long skiing tradition there are destinations that stand out for their more favorable pricing policies.
Europe leads in affordability
European ski resorts continue to hold the largest number of positions on the list of affordable one-day packages, thanks to developed infrastructure and stable pricing. In addition to Nordic centers, the analysis also highlights several Japanese ski resorts, suggesting that competitive prices are not limited to a single continent.
Impact on winter travel planning
The published results may significantly influence traveler decision-making, as many skiers begin the season by carefully calculating costs. At the same time, with these findings Montenegro further strengthens its position on the European ski map — as a destination that offers affordability alongside an increasingly diverse winter offer.
