A few words about ski lift tickets.

For 2008 prices for ski passes have remained pretty much the same.  The biggest difference has been that now you can not purchase a ticket only for the Jonction or the Warde ski domains but rather have to buy a pass that is valid for both areas.  Another difference is that multi day passes purchased from the ski resort come with a bigger discount.  A typical seven day pass for Junction and Warde ski areas now costs only USD 156.  To get this deal you do need to bring a photo at the central ski resort office located 100 meters from the InterContinental hotel and purchase a ticket there.

As a rule we at Varianos Travel do not include lift passes in our packages.  The main reason we do not, is because we feel customers paying in advance for something that they might not enjoy fully, or something they could get at the last minute for a better price and without much hassle,  is not good business.  During snow storms or heavy winds most of the lifts are not operating.  When the resort is not fully operational discounted tickets are sold to compensate for not being able to ski throughout the resort.  No refunds are given on pre bought tickets.

There are a number of easy to find locations that sell ski lift tickets with practically no waiting lines and all of them except one are located at the bases of the ski lifts.  For more information on ticket sale points visit the Faraya Mzaar resort map.

As of March 24 the Warde area is closed.  As there is still enough snow on the mountain, the Jonction area will remain open well in to April.  Hours of operation will change and the ski area will be open from 08:00 to 14:30.  The only daily tickets sold will be the half day ones to compensate for the limited ski area available.
