 Poster: A snowHead
|
We want to book a ski trip at the beginning of March for six. There doesn't appear to be any offers at this time, is this likely to end if we book nearer the time?
We were looking to go early Jan but one of the group can't make it then. Obviously early Jan was cheaper and was just wondering, having usually booked well in advance if that is likely to change.
I suppose advantage of booking late is knowing where snow is. How late could/should I wait for the best deals  ?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

mfamily2, What sort of place are you thinking of? TO or DIY?The w/b 8 March is likely to be the best week in france - the very busy French holidays end then, and Easter won't have started. But just because of that, it probably won't be super-quiet. But it should be a great week, optimum for snow, sunshine and crowds. If you want a package and know exactly what you want, for 6 of you, I'd be inclined to book it. If you know where the snow is, so will everyone else! But if you wanted to do DIY you could book flights - which will just get steadily more expensive, whatever. Or will you drive? In French resorts that will be a fairly low season week, so you could get some ve good prices booking accommodation direct. Cheaper than a TO, generally. But things are filling up, and you'll find less and less choice.

I think this year there won't be much discountng because only a very short mid season period due to early easter. think DIY, if you want to go cheaper. we're flying to turin for £40pp, transfers £52 pp and accommodation (self catering £220 pp). cost say £310, but we are in an amazing looking 5 bedroomed apartment that's slope side in serre chevalier. I'm sure if you wanted half board you could find a deal doing diy.

I have been organizing a small trip in mayrhofen from 2nd of march and would say the accomodation prices have increased on the whole by about a 3rd since the early snowfall. In the end I had to book up a place this week as everything within a reasonable distance of the lifts was disappearing quickly. One of the offers from the tourist board said I had picked a very busy week....not sure why but it seems to be true.

pam w, Thanks for that, we were looking at tour operator, so will keep on scanning. 08/03 sounds like a good idea.
