Major ski companies suspend all holidays until 2 April

Inghams, Ski Total and Flexiski holidays have now been suspended until 2 April which means customers of these companies will only have around two weeks in which to go skiing at the end of the season – and that’s depends on many ski resorts opening their lifts and UK travel restrictions being lifted by then.

The three ski brands all come under the umbrella of Hotelplan and the UK CEO, Joe Ponte said: “Since travel restrictions are set to remain while countries continue to manage the spread of Covid-19 and the rollout of vaccines. We have this week, sadly suspended our Inghams, Ski Total and Flexiski holidays until the 2 April 2021.

“Of course, we are disappointed for all those impacted by this news. We hope our customers with a booking in March of this year will choose to join us at a later date, but they can choose to have a refund if they want one.

“We absolutely want to help skiers return to the mountains as soon as it is safe to do so, but as the Covid-19 crisis continues to worsen, we are facing the reality that it is sadly looking less and less likely. We understand that many skiers are very keen to get skiing again this winter.

“With this in mind, while we think there is still a possibility that ski holidays could go ahead this season, we will continue to monitor the everchanging situation closely and keep our customers informed of any updates regarding the remainder of this winter, as soon as we can.

“For those customers concerned about their booking for this April, they can feel confident that we will continue to look to do the right thing by them—and we have already delayed taking final balance payments until 4 weeks prior to departure. They are also able to move their holiday to next winter with zero amendment fee if they wish.

“With many people taking reassurance from the measures set out in our ‘In Safe Hands’ promise, we’re continuing to see strong booking numbers for next winter across our 2021/22 winter programme. The combined Hotelplan UK brands are already over 45% sold for next winter, well ahead of the same period last year, so people should think about their plans for the next winter now to avoid disappointment.”

Several UK ski companies have already decided to cancel all ski holidays this season and Hotelplan’s latest announcement will cast more gloom over the 20/21 season for British skiers and snowboarders.
