Savvy skiers 'heading to non-eurozone destinations

Brits planning to take a budget ski break this winter have been advised that they could save money by heading to destinations outside of the eurozone.

According to Santander Cards, a week-long stay in Meribel, including flights, accommodation and lift passes, comes in at approximately £1,557.

However, the average package to Borovets in Bulgaria comes in at just £591.

Other budget-friendly destinations include Kranjska Gora in Slovenia, which also offers excellent value for money, according to the card provider.

Emma Roberts, a spokesperson for Santander, commented: "Winter sports enthusiasts may well be tempted to try somewhere new this year because of the impact of the weak pound on prices for premium European skiing destinations, with little price difference now between the major French resorts and transatlantic resorts."

Meanwhile, holidaymakers have been urged to take precautions on the slopes this year and ensure they do not take any unnecessary risks.

According to AA Travel Insurance, the season has got off to an excellent start and many resorts are expected to be busier than ever.
