Finally, some good news for the British skier! As of Wednesday the 1st of July, restaurants and cafés in France will enjoy a massive cut in VAT which will, in turn, be passed onto their customers. The French Government is hoping that this will help the pound-wielding holiday maker cope with the strength of the Euro and make France a more attractive destination.
On my last year’s ski trips I found the price of mountain restaurants to be so prohibitively high that I took a packed lunch onto the hill most days. This new tax cut will make things that little bit more affordable and the lunchtime tartiflette will be making a comeback next winter!! It also makes your night out (when the chalet staff are off) that little bit more affordable and those cheeky jambon mozzarella paninis that touch more enjoyable.
If you are looking to get the most for your money next year, there are some phenomenal bargains around at the moment. The “Buy One Get One Free” lift pass offer has been extended again, offering a saving of up to £90 per person. This will expire on the 19th of July. We also have a simply astonishing offer in La Plagne for New Year, offering £499 per adult and £310 per child. This is for a catered chalet but not travel to resort, you also have lunch provided at the chalet!!
And now some bad news, quite a few ski operator brochures are going to be released over the next few weeks. When this happens prices tend to go up and there is an initial flurry of bookings. This means the prices will be higher and you will not have as much choice if you leave it much longer to make a decision. If you are going skiing next year with a group and you haven’t booked yet, it makes financial sense to book sooner rather than later.
