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.

Swiss Alps chalet pricing is a weekly game. We set seven-night rates for each holiday period, with Christmas, New Year and February half-term priced highest and Easter adjusted to its moving date. Saturday or Sunday changeovers keep weeks clean, but we allow shorter stays in January and late season to fill gaps. In summer, we mix weekly family stays with three or four-night stays for hikers and touring guests.
