Europe "will offer better value for skiers this winter" by Cheap Flights Booker UK

The pound"s recovery against last year"s "rock bottom" exchange rates means that British skiers will benefit from better value in Europe this winter, according to Post Office Travel Money.

In its fourth annual Where to Ski report, the organisation revealed that winter sports enthusiasts visiting eurozone resorts this year will have eight per cent more cash in their pockets than in 2009.

Cervinia in Italy was named the cheapest of the "leading" resorts, while Romania, Bulgaria and Slovenia were all recommended as good options for people planning budget skiing or snowboarding holidays.

Sarah Munro, head of travel money at the Post Office, said: "Since 2008 when the euro began to dominate the UK pound, the numbers taking a skiing holiday have slid almost 25% to under a million, the lowest in a decade.

"Ski companies may be optimistic that the coming season will be a turning point but skiers should watch exchange rates carefully as these will make a big difference to the cost of a ski holiday."

Travellers planning to visit Swiss resorts were warned that they may have to fork out more this winter, following a strengthening of the franc.
