Overall total cost: £7523.00 (including insurance). Average daily cost: £55.00

Travel insurance (2 people): We arranged European insurance through 'ERV' as they specialise in skiing, but took the 'Red Rookie' option as this covered us for off piste skiing, ski touring and rock climbing (as long as this wasn't the main purpose of our trip). Cost: £323.14 for 137 days. Average daily cost: £2.36
