Top 5 reasons to book your winter ski holiday early

The sooner you book your winter ski holiday, the more chance you have of bagging a fantastic deal. Whether it’s early booking discounts, free group places or special deals on equipment hire, there’s a great range of deals to be had if you get in there quickly.

When choosing a Club Med winter holiday you can get up to 15% off if you book early, discounts for your kids and little ones under 4 stay free in all ski resorts.

Booking early means that you’re able to spread the cost of your holiday over a number of months, helping you to budget for your next winter ski holiday. Club Med only requires a £150 deposit per person to reserve your holiday with the balance due 90 days before departure.
So, booking now means there’s plenty of time for you to stagger your payments or put aside a little each month so you don’t have to pay the full amount in one go. It’s also useful when booking for a large group, as you’ll have the time to collect the money from everyone before making the final payment.

Do you want your own accomodation in a prime position on the mountain? Do you want it to be ski-in, ski-out? Do you want a hot tub to relax in after a hard day on the slopes? Make sure you get exactly the accommodation you want by booking early, especially if there’s a large group of you going. Give you, your family and your friends the best chance of a fantastic stay in Les Arcs Panorama, Grand Massif Samoëns, Val Thorens, Valmorel, Peisey-Vallandry or Pragelato by getting in before everyone else.

If you have children or can only go skiing during peak times of the year, you’ll want to make sure that you book early to get your favourite destination and have the best choice of accommodation and flights. Also, families travelling with kids will prefer to book interconnecting rooms which are generally sold-out if they leave it too late. Remember, it’s not just the UK that flocks to the slopes over Christmas and half term; you’re competing with the rest of Europe when it comes to getting the best rooms in the best locations.

There’s nothing better than the feeling of everything being sorted in advance for your winter ski adventure. It gives you plenty of time to dream about powder-white slopes and thrilling après-ski parties. Plus, it gives you the chance to plan every aspect of your trip to ensure you have the best time ever. Runs, restaurants, bars, shops – the more you know about your resort and its ski domain, the better your trip will be. And if you’re celebrating a special occasion, why not book that exclusive restaurant early too?
The more you have sorted in advance, the sooner you can sit back and look forward to your holiday.
