Kranjska Gora in Slovenia has been named the fourth best value ski region in Europe and North America in a survey by Post Office Travel Services.

Only Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia beat for Slovenia on value, while resorts in North America, Austria and Switzerland were revealed to be the priciest places to hit the piste.

The results were ascertained by combining the price of a six-day, low season lift pass with ski/boot hire and the cost of food and drink.

British skiers should head for Eastern Europe for the best deals on the slopes, but prices at some resorts have risen sky high, it has been revealed.

Top-value ski destinations are Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Slovenia, according to a survey by Post Office travel services.

Including basic week-long costs such as equipment hire, lift passes, meals and drinks, Romania’s Poiana Brasov ski resort offered the best value at £195.76.
