A skiing vacation is pure winter magic: glistening snow, speedy descents and snuggling up in the evening. But does it always have to be an expensive ski hotel? Nope! With a camper van, you can not only enjoy a good dose of freedom, but also save a lot of money. Here you can find out everything you need to know to plan your perfect ski vacation with a camper - and how BOXIO can help you take your winter camping experience to the next level!
Why a ski vacation with a camper?
A ski vacation in a camper is not only cheaper, but also super flexible. You can decide spontaneously where to go and create your own little winter dream. No expensive hotel rooms, no fixed meal times - instead, pure nature and your own little "cabin" on four wheels.
Affordable ski vacation including ski pass
Many campsites in ski resorts offer combined deals with a pitch and ski pass - for example in Austria or Germany. This allows you to save a lot, as such packages are often cheaper than a hotel with ski pass.
The best camping ski resorts for your winter vacation
Here are a few suggestions that will make campers' hearts beat faster:
Camping in the Zillertal
The Zillertal in Austria is a real paradise for campers. Not only will you find top slopes here, but also cool campsites such as Camping Aufenfeld, which even offers a sauna and indoor pool. Perfect for the evening after the slopes!
Camping Grubhof in Salzburg
This campsite scores with its proximity to the Loferer Alm lifts - ideal for beginners and families. There are also luxurious sanitary facilities here if you want to pamper yourself after a day in the snow.
Camping Zugspitze
The Zugspitze not only offers breathtaking views, but also pitches right next to the ski area. Combine skiing with tobogganing and winter hiking - it's all possible!
Hot springs near ski resorts
What could be better than relaxing in a hot spring after a day on the slopes? Fortunately, there are thermal baths in many ski resorts:
- Aqua Dome in Längenfeld (Stubaital) - Relax with a view of the snow-covered mountains.
