\"Skiing<\/a><\/p>\n

The winter ends, the warm weather comes, and your next ski holiday is put to the back of your mind. But booking your ski holiday<\/a> early comes with heaps of benefits. Keep reading for our\u00a0top 7 tips on why you should book early.<\/p>\n

Why Book Early?<\/h2>\n

1. You have more choice of chalets and accommodation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here at Skiworld we have over 60 beautiful ski chalets designed to provide you with home comforts during your winter break. We have chalets ranging from 6 beds to 21, plus plenty of chalets next door to each other for those with groups even bigger. Whether you’ve stayed in the accommodation before or are looking for something new, we have something to suit everyone’s taste.<\/p>\n

\"Chalet<\/a>

2. You could book an entire chalet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Group holidays with friends are fun and a great way to bond, and when booking early, you can often book an entire chalet all to yourself. And what makes this even better? Well, including having a stunning chalet just for you and your friends, Skiworld will give you up to \u00a3100 off per person during specific early booking periods. You can also combine this discount with other offers such as Ski Bundles (\u00a350pp discount for bolting on your ski essentials) and Ski-All-In Deals<\/a>, which could save you hundreds off your lift passes and ski hire during specific promotional booking windows.<\/p>\n

3. You\u2019ll have plenty of time to budget and pay for\u00a0your holiday<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A big benefit of booking your ski holiday early is that you’ll have more time to pay for it. You pay the deposit when you book, which is only \u00a3195 per person for most holidays, and then you have until 10 weeks before your departure to pay the balance. You can pay in instalments if you prefer, but either way, this allows you to budget each month, and also makes booking a group trip or luxurious option that much easier.<\/p>\n

4. Beginners can have lessons pre-trip<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you’ve not been skiing or snowboarding before then you could potentially have lessons pre-trip, such as heading to indoor or artificial slopes. This gives you a head start for when you arrive at the resort and can allow you to explore so much more. If you’re planning on taking lessons in resort, it is also a good idea to book early to avoid missing out, especially on peak dates! For all the information on ski lessons check out the ski lessons page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. You can take advantage of early deals<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By signing up to the Skiworld Offers Alert<\/a>\u00a0you’ll get regular updates on\u00a0our latest ski deals. This helps you book a bargain before anyone else. You can also find our current offers on our ski deals page<\/a>, which can often be combined and help you save hundreds of pounds per person. Some of our most popular early booking deals include free or 2-4-1 lift passes, free ski hire for children, and money off per person (usually \u00a350 or \u00a3100. Plus there’s loyalty discounts if you’ve travelled with Skiworld before, again combinable to help you save even more when you book early!<\/p>\n

6. You\u2019ll have something to look forward to\u00a0next winter<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Winters can seem dreary and long in the UK, but by booking a ski holiday in advance you’ll have something to look forward to. Being up in the mountains, surrounded by snow, beautiful landscapes and immersed in clean fresh air is an amazing experience, and also the perfect way to escape and de-stress from everyday life.<\/p>\n

7. Lower prices and huge savings in USA and Canada<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you fancy heading a bit further afield, Why not check out North America? “Early Bird” or early booking offers can save you up to 50% off room rates, and also feature free room upgrades, resort food and beverage credits and other value-adding extras are commonplace. These offers become less valuable the closer you get to departure, typically encouraging booking 12, 9 and 6 months in advance, and are only available through tour operators.<\/p>\n

Other benefits of skiing in the USA and Canada are that resorts tend to have quieter slopes compared to Europe, and it’s also easier to go for longer, such as 10, 11 or even 14 nights.<\/p>\n
