Serre Chevalier Holidays

I’ve always been a fan of putting my own holidays together in a DIY fashion, but after this years Icelandic volcano disruption and loads of holiday companies going bust, I’m not so sure as it is the wisest idea anymore when you book your Serre Chevalier holidays.

The Civil Aviation Authority have this to say, “Booking on-line with separate suppliers may seem like a cheap option, but if for example an airline were to stop flying, you would have to make your own arrangements to get home and you could pay considerably more. You may also have to curtail or increase your stay in order to get available flights.” This was almost certainly the case for a lot of people who got stuck here on their Serre Chevalier holidays back in April.

Many ATOL tour operators websites offer a “flights + hotel” booking facility that lets you build a holiday from a range of holiday and travel options.

If you build your holiday package this way and contract with the ATOL tour operator, you should be fully protected. Check the company has an ATOL, when you book check that all the items you’ve booked and paid for are covered and make sure you get an ATOL Confirmation Invoice confirming this..

You should also benefit from the rights provided under the Package Travel Regulations because the ATOL tour operator is responsible for each component of the holiday you’ve bought.

For this reason we have put together a website of complete holidays, which include flights+transfers+accommodation and sometimes more. Take a look, at the moment all the offers are by Crystal Ski, but we intend to broaden that as we learn more about the companies that provide these ski ‘package deals’.
