Winter sports during the Carnival break: why you shouldn't wait too long
Why is spring break so popular?
During this period, the Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Germany have a day off. It's the busiest week of the winter season. The slopes are bustling and the après-ski scene is buzzing. Many families choose this week for their winter sports holiday. This creates unprecedented demand for holiday homes in Austria.

What happens if you book your holiday home too late?
If you leave it too late to book, you'll quickly find that compromises have to be made. The most popular chalets and holiday homes on the slopes tend to be fully booked, the remaining options are more expensive, and the ski schools are full – which can be especially disappointing for children. Often, the only options left are in villages with less guaranteed snow or that are less child-friendly.
We often see families who forget to book ski lessons in advance, winter sports enthusiasts who have to settle for 'leftover options', and travellers who underestimate travel times between villages.
So, when is the best time to book?
- Group accommodation: These are often booked a year in advance.
- Chalets and apartments for families in popular villages and ski resorts sell out quickly. If you really want the best choice, you should book in spring or before the summer.
- Holiday homes right on the slopes or with ski-in/ski-out access are always the first to go.
Book your ski-in/ski-out holiday rental quickly!
A chalet or holiday rental right on the slopes is the epitome of luxury. No need to lug your skis around — you can just jump straight onto them. That's precisely why these types of accommodation are the first to be booked up during spring break.
