3. Treat yourself to a luxury rental at a low price during the school holidays
This is one of the biggest advantages of March and April: when spring arrives, holiday rental prices become very attractive, often much more so than in January! Planning a skiing trip at Easter, during the school holidays, allows you to get the whole family together and enjoy the mild weather, while avoiding the February crowds and queues for the chairlifts. The main argument is undoubtedly the price of accommodation. At this time of year, you can treat yourself to a chalet with a jacuzzi for the price of an apartment at New Year.
