#4 Honouring Prices That Haven’t Been Set

Year-on-year, chalet prices usually increase, due to increased energy prices and inflation. However, it takes time for chalet operators and owners to factor in these ever-changing costs. Early requests push partners to consider their summer season prices, before it’s possible to set their full season rates. Due to this, it is common for operators to honour last season prices for Alps holidays, as an alternative to losing out on a booking. As such, by booking a luxury summer holiday in 2025 early, there’s a high possibility you will be able to benefit from these lower prices.

#5 Early Flight Releases & Lock-In Prices

And it’s not just luxury summer chalets that enable travellers to get the best prices and availabilities early; many airlines have released their summer 2025 flights, so you can book your mountain holidays in Europe early. Not only that, but further transport to the Alps, such as tunnels, trains and ferries, also begin to open their schedules months in advance. As a result, travellers can undergo a more cohesive planning experience, booking everything together, and securing the best prices too. Although we can’t predict the future, early release tickets are often the closest you’ll get to a best-price guarantee. With early transport schedules, travellers have the perfect opportunity to lock in better prices before demand spikes, avoiding last-minute hikes. In addition, there’s also greater flexibility for selecting preferred times, seat options, routes and more.
