TUI sees ski holiday prices rising next season

Ski holiday prices will increase next season by at least 15 per cent, as operators reduce capacity and the pound continues to be weak against the euro.

A number of ski holiday companies are warning that 2-for-1 deals and chalets priced from £199 – widely available this past season – will not be offered next season.

Market leader TUI Travel revealed that it has cut back from the 180 chalets it offered in France, indicating that many have not been economically viable, and that is wants to keep supply in line with demand.

A spokeswoman for TUI said: “It is only chalets that we have cut and we still have a very big choice. If you look at somewhere like the Three Valleys, we just had too many. They are difficult to fill and there is a big operational cost.”

She went on to say: “You will not see the £199 deals next season. We’re still working on prices because our brochure comes out on July 29, but I think an average price rise of 15% is realistic, but that is largely due to the fall in the value of the pound against the Euro. However, we do have deals on the website for those who are prepared to book early.”
