Albiez season pass 2026-2027: how many days until it pays off

Until 2 December 2026 at 11:59 pm, the Albiez resort sells its season pass at half price: €249 for an adult instead of €497. The ski area is open from Saturday 19 December 2026 to Sunday 21 March 2027. The question is how many days it takes to pay off — the day and week prices answer it.

2026-2027 season pass prices

• Adult (12 to 64): €249 instead of €497
• Child (5 to 11): €178 instead of €355
• Senior (65 to 74): €228 instead of €457
• Under 5 and 75 and over: free pass, to collect at the ticket office with proof of age

Note that a 12-year-old already pays the adult rate. The discount is applied automatically in the online basket until the deadline.

What to compare it with

The passes worth comparing, at adult / child / senior rates:

• Day: €32.50 / €27.50 / €30
• 6 days: €177 / €140 / €158
• 8 days: €215 / €168 / €192
• Weekend (Saturday and Sunday): €40.50 / €36.50 / €38.50
• Saturday: €14 for everyone if bought online before 00:00 on Wednesday (so by Tuesday night at the latest), €16 otherwise

When it pays off

At the offer price: two weeks are enough

At €249, the adult pass is worth just under eight days at the full day rate. In practice:

• One week (6 days, €177): the season pass is not worth it.
• One week and a weekend (€177 + €40.50 = €217.50): still not.
• Two weeks (2 × €177 = €354): the season pass saves €105 per adult.
• Seven weekends (7 × €40.50 = €283.50): it pays off on the seventh — six weekends cost €243.

The same logic holds for a child: €178 against €140 a week, so it pays off from the second week (€280). For a senior, €228 against €158 — same conclusion.

At full price: it takes three weeks

At €497, two weeks (€354) are no longer enough; it takes three (€531). The full price season pass is for people who practically live here. So the 2 December deadline is not a detail: it halves the break-even point.

When it is pointless: a single one-week stay

For a single stay of a week or a little more, the season pass does not pay off: eight days in a row cost €215 with the 8-day pass, nine days €247.50 (8 days + one day), less than the €249 season pass. Beyond that, or as soon as your ski days are spread over several stays, it takes the lead again. And for a few odd Saturdays, the €14 online Saturday beats everything else.

For a family

The resort offers a 6-day Family Pack (two adults and two young people aged 5 to 17) at €604 online — bought at least three days before the first day of skiing — and €619 at the ticket office. That is what to compare the season pass with:

• Two adults and two children aged 5 to 11 on the offer season pass: 2 × €249 + 2 × €178 = €854.
• The same family on the Family Pack: €604 for one week, €1,208 for two.

One week: the pack. Two weeks or more: the season pass, by just over €350. With two teenagers aged 12 to 17, counted as adults for the season pass (4 × €249 = €996), the conclusion does not change.

Before you order

• A recent ID photo (no hat, no sunglasses) and proof of age are required when ordering, online or at the ticket office.
• The pass is on a hands-free card that can be topped up online. Collect it at the Chef-lieu or Mollard ticket office — the Mollard one is at the foot of the slopes, 250 m from the apartment.
• Carré Neige insurance is an optional extra in the basket.
• The resort's page puts an asterisk on "ski area" without saying what it covers. The season pass is valid on the Albiez ski area; for a day at Les Sybelles, the resort sells a separate "5 days Albiez + 1 day Sybelles" pass (€200 adult, €166 child), with access via Saint-Jean-d'Arves.
