Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Alta cost?
Budget hotel prices in Alta vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $127 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Alta is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Alta, Utah, finding truly cheap hotels within the resort area itself is quite challenging, as accommodation there generally caters to a higher price point. However, the most economical approach is to look for lodging in the nearby town of Sandy or other areas within the Salt Lake Valley, and commute to Alta for skiing.

Sandy offers a range of more affordable hotel options, including several well-known budget chains. From Sandy, you can easily access Alta by utilising the public transportation system, specifically the Ski Bus service provided by the local transit authority. This bus runs frequently during the ski season, offering a convenient and cost-effective way to get to the slopes without the expense of resort-side lodging or car hire.

While staying in Sandy means a daily commute, it provides solo travellers with a wider selection of dining choices and amenities that are typically more budget-friendly than those found directly at the ski resort.
When is the most affordable time to visit Alta?
The most affordable time to visit Alta, Utah, is during the shoulder seasons, specifically late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to October). During these periods, the ski resorts are closed, and the summer hiking season hasn't fully kicked off or has wound down, leading to lower prices for accommodation and fewer crowds.

For solo travellers, these shoulder seasons offer a peaceful retreat with ample opportunities for outdoor activities without the premium price tag. You can find excellent deals on lodging, and many local eateries might offer special promotions before or after the main tourist rushes. Exploring the scenic trails of Little Cottonwood Canyon in the crisp autumn air or witnessing the wildflowers bloom in spring can be a truly memorable experience.

While Alta is primarily known for its winter sports, visiting outside of peak ski season allows budget-conscious travellers to experience the stunning natural beauty of the area at a fraction of the cost.
Is Alta a budget-friendly destination?
While Alta is generally considered more expensive due to its world-renowned skiing, travellers can absolutely experience its magic on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, instead of staying directly on the slopes, consider lodging in nearby towns like Sandy or Midvale, which offer more affordable options and are well-connected to Alta via public transport. The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) ski bus service provides a cost-effective way for solo travellers and couples to reach the ski area without the expense of a rental car or resort parking.

Couples can save on food by bringing their own snacks and lunches to the slopes, as on-mountain dining can be pricey. Many visitors also opt for self-catering accommodation to prepare meals, further reducing costs. Beyond skiing, the stunning mountain scenery offers numerous free activities during the warmer months, such as hiking and exploring the diverse flora and fauna.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Alta with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Alta. Unlock our lowest prices by joining One Key™, Expedia's travel rewards program. It's free and easy to sign up, and you can access member perks too. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Alta?
While Alta is renowned for its world-class skiing, there are still some fantastic free activities to enjoy, particularly for solo travellers looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Utah mountains.

During the warmer months, hiking is the primary free activity and offers breathtaking views. Solo travellers can explore numerous trails that wind through stunning alpine landscapes, such as the Albion Basin, which is particularly beautiful when the wildflowers are in bloom. Another popular option is the Catherine's Pass Trail, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding peaks and valleys.

Even in winter, when skiing dominates, solo travellers can still enjoy the serene mountain environment for free. Many visitors enjoy simply walking around the base areas, taking in the picturesque snow-covered scenery and watching the skiers. There are also designated snowshoeing trails available, though you would need to bring your own equipment to avoid rental fees.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Alta as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Alta for you.
