The thought of fresh powder snow and glistening slopes is enough to make any skier’s heart skip a beat. But when is the best time to book your next ski holiday? The answer to this question can make the difference between an affordable and an expensive winter adventure. So how do you find the perfect time to book your dream ski holiday? Here SnowTrex explain…
The ideal time to book your ski holiday depends on a number of factors. In addition to your favourite destination, seasonal fluctuations and individual preferences also play a role. By booking well in advance, you can often benefit from attractive early bird discounts as well as heavily discounted last minute offers.
Early booking vs. last minute
Early bookers often benefit from attractive discounts and a wide choice of accommodation. Early bookers also secure their preferred dates and can relax and look forward to their holiday. On the other hand, last-minute offers tempt flexible travellers with spontaneous bargains. However, there is a risk of limited choice and popular accommodation being fully booked.
Seasonality
The best time to book depends on the season and destination. In high season, such as the Christmas and Easter periods, it is advisable to book early to get the best deals. For trips outside the main holiday periods, last-minute deals can be quite attractive as demand is lower and prices fall accordingly.

Flexibility is key
