Cheaper holidays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>May is generally considered a \u2018low-season\u2019 month in the Alps. This means that holidays in general tend to be more budget-friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accommodation and flights will be much cheaper than in the peak months of December, February, July and August and you won\u2019t need to factor in the cost of a ski pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit of cheaper holidays is that you can take advantage of shorter stays. Throughout peak times, these are far more costly, therefore many people will opt for a quick mountain getaway in the interseason instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May is the ideal time to plan a long weekend in the Alps, as there are a few bank holidays to make use of. However, do note that in some rare cases, prices may slightly increase over May public holidays.<\/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;\">Find your dream chalet for a spring getaway<\/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=0\">\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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-romantic-stays\">2. <strong>Romantic stays<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Alps in May are an ideal time for a romantic break.
