 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Just a little jealous of all you lucky folks skiing this year, and realising I've missed the boat (the diary/budget is done for this year) I've decided to make arrangements to ski January 2025.
I'm wondering if I would get the best deal booking in advance this year or waiting until the sales in January? And in general, I'd appreciate any advice on booking. I'm fine with putting the time in to organise flights & local buses/trains etc to the resort etc.
I did hear about a budget polish company but so far haven't figured out how to translate https://snowEvents.pl/wyjazdy-na-narty-i-snowboard?fbclid=IwAR2_zTV-0v99_rvjzh524ZIZOZTPD0n8jSAURygcyyYlUWnVLzHIEYk6oIk
My needs are any country, the resort/town/village area not too party,boozy but with some life in it, beginner to intermediate slopes, self board, a place 200m from the lifts and budget, budget, budget.
I could drive (from the UK) but probably would prefer to fly.
I've been on one skiing holiday - so a beginner - at Tigne les brevieres about 8 years ago which was lovely although a bit of a hassle getting to the main resort.
It'll be with me and my two adult children age 30 & 26, both intermediate.
I'd appreciate your advice.
TIA

well
if you do package, then crystal is already selling for 2025
if you do DIY then you need to decide which country.
BA flights go on sale just under a year in advance. So you could have the flights locked in or wait until other airlines release theirs.
Then left with resort choice & accommodation. For DIY, you will probably not be able to book anything for at least 6 months, if not longer.
Same goes with driving... chunnel or ferry - you should have an idea of the price & lock them in when they are roughly at their cheapest.

I did look at diy but the savings were not worth the effort

I think the main advantage of DIY is that the package tour operators only offer a limited choice of resorts and accommodation.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Agree but we were after places that they have had before
Complication we need an extra single room for someone but all sorted.
What i did notice is the available rooms disappeared very quickly this year. We are usually slower booking.
No idea if this is due to the hotels been popular (both are very nice) or if the TO has taken a smaller alaction?
Got to a point where comfort and good food are well up the essentials list. Well past the point of sleeping in a converted cow shed
