You’ve been dreaming for years of a mountain biking vacation in the French Alps. This year, you finally have the time to go but are looking for ways to save money. Our suggestion: start planning now! Here is why:

1. The prices of flights tend to go up as the departure date gets closer. Since mountain biking requires some part of planning, waiting for the super last minute discounted stand-by tickets is not the best idea.
2. Most rent-a-cars offer reduced prices or free upgrades for those of us who plans our trips early.
3. Accommodation providers can offer up to 15% of reduction for early birds. More accommodation options at a generally lower price, does it sound good to anyone?
4. By browsing the web, you can discover events to which you want to attend or workshops you would like to sign up for. Places are often limited and prices can be lower if you purchase your tickets before.
5. Also get informed about your resort’s event calendar if you don’t want to participate to any, to make sure NOT to book during those periods. You will avoid surcharges and line ups.
