Insider Knowledge - Updated 07th April 2008

Skier between trees

The Internet has brought holiday choice to our fingertips like we have never experienced before. However, there now arises the problem of how to deal with all this choice. Our website makes it easy to manage your choice of ski chalet with search and sort capabilities, and availability of chalets shown. However, the question of when to book still causes a problem.

When looking to book luxury accommodation (4 or 5 star quality) it’s best to book as soon as possible, demand will outstrip supply. However, for 3 star properties (the majority of the market) it is possible to ‘play the market’.

This new section of our site gives an overview of chalet availability for the whole winter season and should be used in conjunction with our Late Deals section. Use our many years experience and invaluable knowledge to help you decide when and what to book!
