Why Book Your Ski Holiday Early?

Andy H - Headshot

You may think that six months before the ski season begins is too early to start planning a ski holiday (let alone book one!), but did you know that Ski Safari customers typically book six months before they travel? Here’s why…

You’ll save more money

Accommodation providers like to fill their rooms as quickly as possible, so they usually offer the best discounts to the first bookers. Customers who booked by 30 April this year saved as much as 55% on their hotel, and you can still save up to 40% if you book by 30 June.

You can also benefit from big savings on transfers, lift passes, rentals, ski school and activities - all of which shoot up in price once the season starts - as well as flights. Aside from flight sales (which we keep a close eye on for you), seats will only go up in price as planes fill up.

You’ll have the most choice

In our most popular resorts, key hotels and room types soon book up - especially those with the best incentives - so the earlier you book, the greater your choice of where to stay.

With many families looking to travel during school holidays, booking early is even more important over peak dates like Christmas and February half term to ensure you get the holiday you want, when you want it, at the best possible price.

You'll also have better flight options, which may give you more time on the slopes or an easier journey to or from the airport, as well as your choice of seats.

Where to Ski in 2024/25

You’ll have longer to plan the perfect trip

Booking your ski holiday should be fun and a part of the journey, but with so much information out there and so many variables, it can be hard to know where to start.

The earlier you get in touch, the more time we have to make sure every part of your holiday is perfect. You’ll have more time to save too, paying a £200pp deposit to secure your holiday and then nothing more until 10 weeks before travel.

You may come to us with a resort or hotel in mind, but we'll always be ready to suggest alternative options if we think they're more suitable and together we'll work out exactly which is the best fit. After all, we want to find the perfect ski holiday for you!

But what about last minute deals?

By waiting until the last minute to book, you may grab a bargain holiday - but you should ask yourself why no one has booked it earlier!

Although we do feature late booking offers in-season, they’re more to show what's still available to book across our programme. We’ll still find you the best possible price at the time, but it’s highly likely that you’d have paid less for the same holiday booked six months before.

If you’re concerned about snow conditions, we only recommend resorts with great snow records. Many have snow guarantees in place all season long, while some regularly receive well over 10 metres of total snowfall.
