To get the best offers, you\u2019ll need to book your holidays several months before you leave. There are several advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-advantages\">What are the advantages?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-availability\">Availability<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Advance booking will ensure that you are able to find accommodation in <strong>your favourite resort<\/strong>. You\u2019ll be able to choose your ski area and make sure that you can go away when the conditions are just right. In short, first come, first served!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of booking also gives you <strong>a great choice of available accommodation<\/strong> at the resort. You\u2019ll be able to choose the chalet that best suits your taste, your budget and your needs (guest capacity, storage needs, star rating). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that there\u2019s the most demand for accommodation near the slopes, as well as those that can accommodate large groups or families, so we\u2019d advise you to book early if you want to get <strong>close to the pistes<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booking as early as possible is also essential if you plan to travel in the school holidays. The ski stations fill up quickly at these times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-low-prices\">Low prices<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you book well in advance, you can take advantage of the best offers and current deals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early birds can often enjoy reduced tariffs, sometimes up to 20% lower than the standard rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By booking early, you can get good rates not only on accommodation but also on trains and airfares, as well as offers on ski passes and equipment hire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-ovo-cta-button\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/ski-hire\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\">BOOK SKI EQUIPMENT THROUGH SKISET<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Booking well in advance also gives you access to <strong>\u201call-inclusive\u201d<\/strong> packages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These can be quite expensive, as they include your accommodation, lift passes, equipment hire and apr\u00e8s-ski activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll-inclusive\u201d packages are often offered to early bookers as the resorts offer them lower prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-peace-of-mind\">Peace of mind<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Advance booking gives you peace of mind when it comes to booking your holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organising a ski holiday takes a lot of time \u2013 you need to think about equipment hire (boots, skis, poles and clothes) if you are not taking your own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also useful to plan for lift passes and ski lessons as well as apr\u00e8s-ski activities in the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When everything is planned and booked in advance, you can enjoy your holiday with complete peace of mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-drawbacks\">What are the drawbacks?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While booking several months in advance is the safest option, it can also present problems if you have a change of plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s possible that your schedule could change in the months following your booking. A family event, an accident or a problem at work might mean you are no longer available on the dates you booked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any doubts about your plans, it may be worth subscribing to an annual insurance scheme where possible. This will apply in certain conditions, so it\u2019s important to read the small print before you sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, an early booking is no guarantee of good snow conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many travel agents offer insurance which gives you the option to cancel your booking if there\u2019s too little snow (or even too much). So make sure you find out about the cancellation policy, which is vital if you make an early booking. <\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Start SVG for Props Slider -->\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" style=\"display: none;\">\n    <symbol id=\"icon-book\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\">\n        <path d=\"m354 276l-158 76 0-36 94-42c11-5 21-9 32-13-8-3-18-7-30-12l-96-44 0-35 158 75 0 31z m-101-258c133 0 241 108 241 241 0 133-108 241-241 241-133 0-241-108-241-241 0-133 108-241 241-241z m0 458c120 0 217-97 217-217 0-120-97-217-217-217-120 0-217 97-217 217 0 120 97 217 217 217z\"\/>\n    <\/symbol>\n    <symbol id=\"icon-ovo\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\">\n      <path d=\"m259 494c-130 0-236-105-236-235 0-130 106-236 236-236 130 0 235 106 235 236 0 130-105 235-235 235z m0-447c-117 0-212 95-212 212 0 117 95 212 212 212 117 0 212-95 212-212 0-117-95-212-212-212z m-71 308l155-72c0 0 13-28 0-57l-155-70c0 0-10 23 1 50l100 45c0 0 10 3 0 7-12 5-101 45-101 45 0 0-7 26 0 52z\"\/>\n    <\/symbol>\n    <symbol id=\"icon-ovo-circle-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 43.47 43.47\">\n        <circle class=\"circle-ovo\" cx=\"21.73\" cy=\"21.73\" r=\"19.23\" \/>\n        <path d=\"M13.12 20.44l13.23-6.32v3l-7.92 3.57q-1.28.58-2.67 1.06 1 .38 2.52 1l8.07 3.69v2.89l-13.23-6.27z\" fill=\"#fff\" fill-opacity=\"1\"\/>\n    <\/symbol>\n    <symbol id=\"icon-ovo-circle-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 43.47 43.47\">\n        <circle class=\"circle-ovo\" cx=\"21.73\" cy=\"21.73\" r=\"19.23\" \/>\n        <path d=\"M30.35 23l-13.23 6.35v-3L25 22.81q1.28-.58 2.67-1.06-1-.38-2.52-1L17.12 17v-2.88l13.23 6.28z\" fill=\"#fff\" fill-opacity=\"1\"\/>\n    <\/symbol>\n<\/svg>\n<!-- End SVG for Props Slider -->\n\n<!-- Start HTML for Props Slider -->\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Browse ski chalets in the Alps<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"container-fluid container-fluid-otherprops container-white\">\n    <div class=\"fade-right\">\n        <div class=\"hero-arrow hero-arrow-left\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-ovo-circle-left\"><use xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"#icon-ovo-circle-left\"><\/use><\/svg>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"slider-otherprops rsDefault\" data-filters=\"&destination=44\">\n        <!-- Slider loaded via ajax depending on resolution -->\n        <div class=\"new-props-loading\">\n            <span class=\"loader-dot\">.<\/span><span class=\"loader-dot\">.<\/span><span class=\"loader-dot\">.<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fade-left\">\n        <div class=\"hero-arrow hero-arrow-right\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-ovo-circle-right\"><use xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"#icon-ovo-circle-right\"><\/use><\/svg>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- End HTML for Props Slider -->\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-booking-between-one-and-three-months-in-advance\">Booking between one and three months in advance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you book your ski holiday between one and three months before you plan to travel, you will still have a good choice of accommodation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the cooler weather will give you time to plan ahead and get you in the mood for winter sports.

If you decide to book your holiday just before you leave, the last-minute offers can be very attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-advantages\">The advantages <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can take advantage of very attractive promotions on last-minute bookings if you are aiming for a short stay, a weekend or a few days during the week, for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tourism industry wants all the available accommodation to be occupied, so prices can be very tempting. It\u2019s a good idea to keep a close eye on all offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booking a last-minute ski holiday also allows you to discover new ski areas and new scenery. It allows you to take an unexpected break from your busy life for a few days to recharge your batteries and is ideal if you don\u2019t mind making hasty preparations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By checking the weather forecast just before you book, you can also be sure you\u2019ll be happy with the snow conditions. And if there\u2019s little or no snow, you can easily postpone your plans without any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-drawbacks\">The drawbacks <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Booking a last-minute ski holiday could be difficult if you want to go during the most popular weeks \u2013 and it might even be impossible! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most popular weeks in the mountains are the school holidays: Christmas week, New Year\u2019s week and the four weeks of the February holidays. And long stays are often more difficult to find, so it\u2019s important to be flexible about your dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you leave at the last minute, your holiday preparations may be rushed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be difficult to book ski lessons, there will be fewer available activities on site and you\u2019ll have to book lift passes and rent your equipment at the last minute. So it\u2019s better to plan ahead if you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When to book is an important part of your holiday plans.
