Desperate to get back to the mountains, but want to watch your budget this year? You’re in luck! As the holiday booking frenzy slows, this winter’s “last minute ski deals” have kicked off, with a flurry of flash sales this week for all December departures, including the peak Christmas and New Year weeks.
Here are the Top four places to bag a last-minute ski holiday from SNO Ski Holidays:
France up to 50 per cent off
The best late ski deals to France are found, not by looking for the cheapest ski holidays, but by looking for the biggest discount. Self-catering packages including flights and transfers can be had for under £500pp but, with the value of the pound still very low, SNO recommends choosing an all-inclusive ski holiday this winter, to best stick to your budget. The top-selling ski-all-in packages among SNO customers are Club Med ski holidays because they include the lift pass, full board, free bar and morning and afternoon lessons or guiding, plus free childcare and lessons if you need them.
Austrian charm on the cheap
With last-minute Austrian ski packages already discounted by over a third, you don’t have to dig deeper to experience the most famous après ski in the Alps. How about half board in Soll with flights and transfers for under a thousand pounds per person, or B&B with flights to Mayrhofen under £800pp? Once you’ve entered your nearest airport, remember to sort by “biggest discount” to see the best reductions.
Italy discounted in December
The best late deals in Italy at the moment are in Champoluc, Corvara and Cervinia, with up to 40 per cent off some December packages. Drive down with a ferry ticket included and half board in Hotel Castor for £709pp, or get £682 off the Hotel Greif with half board from Manchester, reduced to £1068pp.
Switzerland on sale
A quick scan through the last-minute ski holidays to Switzerland reveals some real “Savile Row skiing at Ski Row prices”. How about two-grand-a-head reduced to just twelve hundred per person, in Zermatt’s super stylish Mirabeau Hotel and Spa, with half board and the ferry for your car included? Remember to sort by “biggest discount”, once you’ve added your preferred departure airport.
