Winter is com\u2014book now!<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

After a record-breaking winter, the Hautes-Alpes are heading into the 2026\u20132027 season on a positive note<\/strong>. As the cold sets in and the first snows blanket the peaks, a crucial period is beginning for vacation bookings. Early indicators remain very encouraging. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Reservations: A Winter in Three Acts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Booking habits are changing and now reveal three major trends in purchasing behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 35% of stays were booked before the end of summer.<\/strong> The trend toward \u201cearly bookers<\/em> \u201d continues to grow year after year. Vacationers plan ahead to secure good accommodations and ski lessons before availability runs out. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
      \n
    • 45% of reservations are made in the fall.<\/strong> This is a pivotal period, when a large portion of winter visitor numbers is determined. This is a major challenge, which explains the extensive promotional campaigns currently being carried out by ADDET05 and its partners across Europe. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n
        \n
      • 20% of trips will be booked during the season<\/strong>. This clientele is more opportunistic, keeping an eye out for last-minute deals, weather forecasts, and snow conditions. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

        A Positive Outlook, With an Eye on the Holiday Season<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        At this point, the booking outlook is favorable for the entire winter season, from January through the final weeks of winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        However, particular attention is being paid to the end-of-year holidays. The fact that New Year\u2019s Eve falls on a weekend\u2014which is less conducive to long stays\u2014could weigh on reservations. For now, the overall occupancy rate for tourist accommodations stands at 55% for this two-week period<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
