Cheaper holidays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>September 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 (as kids will be back in school) 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<!-- 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 accommodation 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=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 September are ideal for a romantic break.
