Skiers and snowboarders should anticipate to pay up to 18 per cent more for skiing trips this coming season as operators cut back the quantity of skiing vacations for sale.
High season trips will be especially dear but even at other weeks there will be fewer big discounts on trips.
Ski operators say that with ski companies reducing holidays by as much as 20 per cent costs are unlikely to be reduced.
Bookings are even now greater than the number of beds available for half term which for the second consecutive year occur on the one week for many schools in Great Britain.
The increase in prices and a slashing in the amount of trips follows what was a particularly fine winter season for snowboarders with heavy snowfall throughout France.
With the collapse of the sterling against the dollar wiped out profit margins and led to lots of small companies in the red.
The future looks brighter for holiday makers able to holiday in January or Mar, when prices will be up by around 13 % on the average, in place of 21 per cent for peak weeks.
Airlines, hotels and Chamonix travel companies are beginning to realise that they have to offer travel firms reductions or deals. Resourceful holidaymakers will purchase as many add ons ” ie. passes and ski hire ” in sterling before they leave England.
