Chalet Reductions Can Be Found because of the Credit Crunch
Would you believe the sterling is fetching less than a Euro at at money changers, you would believe there would be lots of real skiing break deals to be had in alpine ski resorts this season as potential skiers stick in the UK to combat the credit crunch. Provisional numbers merely published highlight that ski towns are 87 percent full across the New year period. 13 % up on the self same period last year.
You’ll probably have more chance in January which at the moment has a 37 % booking rate. Signs of a downturn is during the important Feb skiing holiday month that has 62 percent bookings, 1 % down on last season. Information centres in the ski fields of Le Grand-Bornand, Chastreix-Sancy, Verchaix and Savoie have seen strong reservations in December advanced by the brilliant early ski season snow. Risoul has higher inquiries in comparison to last winter, and Les Trois Vallees experienced a first-class New Year and Christmas.
There is strong call for bigger catered chalet, 7 to 13 places, as folk group together to save the pennies. Early evidence shows that DIY ski breaks are holding up well, perhaps evidence that serious boarders will not give up their ski trip. Bookings from package ski holidays are lower than last year.
