Alpine ski season is just around the corner to offer plenty of fun for those who love winter sports. Maybe you have a dilemma: to book ski holiday early or wait for the last minute bargain? There are a lot of benefits to being an early bird and planning your winter vacation sooner rather than later. Early booking is ideal if you want to get a cheap ski deal and have plenty of options. Or maybe you not only prefer early booking, but also want to hit the slopes as soon as possible? This article reveals some excellent areas for early-bird ski holiday.

Low-price ski deals

Ski resorts and transfer providers operate much like airlines – the earlier you book, the better the bargain. Early bookers are often offered cheap ski deals and transfers. So when it comes to price, timing matters. And Alps2Alps is not an exception. Here you can see what our prices depend on.

More choice

The sooner you book, the more choice you will have on winter vacation deals, ski transfers and lodging properties. Imagine you have found the perfect hotel to stay in, but it is already booked. Quite disappointing, right? Best places get snapped up fast – especially if you’re trying to book in the peak period. By booking early, you can choose the vacation period that suits you best (even the Christmas and holiday season) and ensure you get a room in your favorite hotel. Also, you will have more options for cheap flights and ski transfers.

More time to prepare

The advantage of early booking is that you have enough time to carefully plan your ski holiday – to read reviews on resorts and hotels and pick the right one, book a convenient transfer, decide what to pack, what equipment you might need. All of those things can have a great impact on how much you enjoy your winter holiday. So why not find your winter vacation deal now?

If you can’t wait for the season to start, you should consider resorts that usually open their slopes earlier than others.
