Poster: A snowHead
|
Christmas & New Years Eve 2024 fall on a Wednesday, making the first full Sat-Sat week after from the 4-11 Jan 2025. Usually the week after NY week is low season and low season prices, but does anyone have any insights or guesstimates with an early Sat-Sat week will prices still likely to be low season? In the past the week has been even earlier of course, but I've never paid any attention to prices. Just trying to do some advance planning.

@rdk, my local schools go back on the 6th so I would be expecting it to be low season. Jet2 prices are out so may also give an idea of how they expect it to look.

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

Thanks @toyah807. I imagine hotels could extend high season till the end of the weekend, but week-long apartments maybe not.

@rdk, quite possibly. My simplistic Jet 2 check didn't help....I just searched my local airports and found that Salzburg flights were cheaper for the week starting 11th but GVA flights cheaper from 4th Jan. I commend your early planning though, never too soon.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

A lot more effort and saving up coming from Australia, plus leave issues etc etc

@Kenzie probably looking at Les Arcs for that week, most likely Arc 1950. Usually I travel by myself staying in hotels half-board on a two week trip. This year was St Anton & Zermatt, previously Les Menuires a couple of times, Val D'Isere and Zermatt again. But Jan 2025 (my wife is OK with me going every two-three years) I might take my son for one of the weeks, so a chance to try Les Arcs which is light-on for hotels compared to apartments. Turns out a two bedroom apartment in Arc 1950 not much different to what I usually pay HB in a hotel, so self-catering would be OK.
I'm planning early becuase I want to book flights from Melbourne around March-ish so would like to have some idea about accommodation.
