8 reasons to book your 2019/20 ski trip to Les 2 Alpes early

With school holidays being the most popular times for families to come skiing, it's important to book any childcare well in advance. Places can often be limited and if you've got children of different ages you may find looking for different types of childcare tricky, so book ahead to avoid disappointment. Lots of families book for the next season when their holiday this year has just finished, so join in with this way of thinking and you shouldn't miss out on getting a place.

The same applies for ski schools and private ski instructors – the earlier you book the more chance you have of securing a place. Group lesson numbers are capped so ski instructors get booked up fast on peak dates. Take the worry out of getting a place and book in early. 

Airlines offer huge savings on flights booked for the winter ahead, with some companies already offering bookings up to the end of April 2020. Use our flight finder to search for the best deals.

Lots of transfer companies offer super-saver discounts on early bookings. Not only does it help them plan ahead for the winter but you can save a good percentage on the price too. Opt for a shared transfer over a private one to save even more money.

Most ski hire companies offer huge savings for online bookings and, although most of them close down their booking systems over the summer, you might find that some of them offer even more of a reduction if you book in advance. You might not be able to book now but it's worth taking a look, otherwise, put a note in your diary for the end of November or beginning of December to get the best deals. 

Special offers for the Christmas and New Year holidays are available throughout the summer. Book early to make some great savings on accommodation. All you need to decide next is whether you'd like catered or self-catered... and what presents to bring!

Can't wait for your winter fix of skiing or snowboarding? Well lucky for you, Les 2 Alpes is open for summer skiing on the glacier from mid-June to the end of August. The glacier also reopens again in October for the All Saints half-term holiday. After that, ski passes for winter will go on sale in December 2019. Save money on family and group passes booked online, with further discounts available for the early part of the season.
