Follow these 5 tips and save money when booking your summer chalet break:

1. Book independently
Booking independently can save you in excess of £1,000. Make sure you do your homework and read as many reviews as possible to ensure you get the right accommodation for you. ChaletFinder.co.uk is a great resource when looking for independent chalets, whether catered, non-catered or somewhere in the middle.

2. Location, Location, Location
Prime locations can carry a hefty price tag. Look for lesser known locations and discover hidden treasures! Mont Blanc and Chamonix are world-renowned with a price tag to match, yet you don’t have to miss out. Bansko, the largest resort in Bulgaria is situated on the edge of the Prin National Park, with easy access to the Rila Mountains and the Glazne River there are plenty of summer activities with an enviable cost of living.

ChaletFinder.co.uk has access to thousands of flight options via Skyscanner, which allows you to view independent accommodation and check flights in one place to compare flight costs on and around the dates you wish to travel to get you the best possible deal.
