With the pound fetching a little less than a Euro at Travelex, one would think there would be lots of great ski deals to be had in ski resorts this ski season as potential skiers stay at home to avoid the credit crunch. First figures just now publicized show that ski areas are 81 % full over the holiday period. 12 percent up on the equivalent period of time in 2007.
One will have better chance in Jan which currently has a 36 % booking level. The signs of a recession is across the key Feb holiday month that has 66 % bookings, 3 % less than last ski season. Reservation desks in the domains of Avoriaz, Les Contamines-Montjoie, La Rosiere and Les Arcs have noted increased demand in December boosted by the fantastic early on winter snow. Risoul has higher inquiries in comparison to Chamonix, and Risoul had a fine Christmas.
However there is heavy interest in bigger chalets, 8 to 12 beds, as people group up to save the pennies. Evidence highlights that do it yourself ski breaks are doing well, perhaps evidence that earnest boarders are not going to sacrifice their ski trip to the mountains. However inquiries from tour operators are down on last year.
