Every winter, thousands of Belgian skiers and snowboarders pack their gear and head for Europe’s top ski resorts. Whether departing from Brussels, Antwerp, Liège, Gent, or Charleroi, many travelers begin their journey at major airports and train stations before making their way to the mountains. This year, reaching those snowy peaks just got a whole lot easier.
With the launch of Uber Ski, travelers can now book a ride directly to their ski destination at a fixed price once they arrive in one of seven participating European countries. No more struggling to find transport with ski gear in tow—just a smooth, hassle-free transfer to the mountains.
Uber Ski: Where and How It Works
Now available in France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Poland, Spain, and Sweden, Uber Ski provides vehicles equipped with ski and snowboard racks at the tap of a button. The service ensures that whether you’re heading to the slopes or returning from a week in the mountains, your journey is stress-free and seamless.
Uber Ski offers direct transfers from major airports and train stations to over 90 ski resorts across Europe. Prices start at just 49€ for up to five passengers, making it an affordable and convenient option. Plus, travelers can reserve their ride up to 60 days in advance, ensuring their transport is secured before their trip even begins.
Why Uber Ski? Rising Demand for Easy Winter Travel
The introduction of Uber Ski comes in response to a growing demand for flexible and convenient transportation in winter tourist hotspots. Data from winter 2024 shows that demand for Uber rides more than doubled in ski resorts like:
- Val Thorens & Courchevel (France)
- Söll (Germany)
- Kitzbühel (Austria)
- Gstaad (Switzerland)
Last year alone, almost half a million international travelers—including many from Belgium—used Uber in these ski destinations. While British, American, and German tourists made up the largest share, Belgian skiers are also increasingly turning to Uber to simplify their trips.
A Convenient Alternative for Belgian Skiers
For many Belgians, skiing is an annual tradition, but getting to the mountains isn’t always easy. Long car rides through winter conditions can be tiring and stressful. That’s where Uber Ski comes in.
Laurent Slits, General Manager of Uber Belgium, explains:
“We know how much Belgians love skiing, and many of them travel to Europe’s top ski resorts every year. Instead of driving long distances, Uber Ski offers a convenient alternative. Travelers can take public transport, like trains, and then seamlessly continue their journey with Uber from the station to their resort. Belgians are looking for flexible mobility solutions, and Uber Ski is the perfect way to complement their winter travel plans.”
The Future of Ski Travel
With Uber Ski, Belgian skiers no longer have to worry about navigating unfamiliar roads, renting cars, or dealing with limited public transport options in remote mountain areas. Whether it’s a family trip to the French Alps or a snowboarding adventure in the Swiss peaks, Uber Ski makes winter travel easier, more affordable, and more convenient than ever before.
