I usually just buy them off the rep on the coach transfer to resort. The rep is the easy option but i thought there might be some deal in the resort or order them online over here. I have booked with crystal this year.
I am off to niederau and wondered if anybody might know of a better place to buy them?

thanks :D

You can check the cost of the pass in your T/O brochure ~ I have rarely known this be any different to the on coach prices.
Also, check the cost of your pass on the website of the lift company of the resort. Do the calculation before you get on the coach.
If it not significantly different, the benefit of having the lift pass delivered to your hotel, and not having to queue may hold sway.

When I skied N, I got mine at the lift pass office, strange place to buy a lift pass really )
I was horrified at how expensive it was for such a limited area though.

Normally I purchase them on the transfer bus as it means whacking it on a credit card and paying next month.

The big French resorts all sell on-line. Bought mine this year direct from Les Deux Alpes. They posted to UK within 5 days.

And buying direct saved about 80 Euro on a 'family deal' (that the tour operator wasn't offering). Would the rep on coach known about the family pass? Don't know so didn't risk it.
if I'm not skiing then I'm kayaking.
