An Airbnb pricing strategy is the set of rules that decide what each night is worth: base, minimum and maximum prices, seasonal profiles, event premiums, minimum stays, gap-night and last-minute rules, length-of-stay discounts and per-channel markups. A pricing tool applies the rules; the strategy is what makes the tool useful. Airbnb Smart Pricing is not a strategy: it optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate, ignores other channels and has no event or gap-night logic.
Demand drivers in Chamonix: Chamonix, Les 3 Vallées and Val d'Isère ski areas; French, UK and Dutch school holidays; Annecy lake season; Tour de France stages.

Where the work starts: Weekly chalet pricing by holiday week, summer lake rates, and inter-season floors.
Ski-market Airbnb pricing in the Alps is about weeks, not nights. We build a rate for every Saturday-to-Saturday week of the season, ranked by which holiday zones it serves, and protect the February and New Year weeks from short-stay fragmentation. In January and late March we allow 3 to 5 night stays to fill around weekly bookings. Summer in Chamonix and Annecy works more like a city market, with nightly pricing and event premiums.
The full service is described on our airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how it applies in Chamonix.
