According to the Telegraph, Crystal had planned to offer 30 chalets this winter.

In a statement, the operator cited the impact of coronavirus for its decision.

"Sadly, due to the impact of Covid-19, Crystal Ski Holidays is no longer operating a chalet programme for the winter 2020/2021 season," said Crystal.

"We’re sorry for any disappointment, but the health and safety of our customers is our top priority."

Crystal said it would continue to offer a range of "great ski holiday options" this winter, including self-catering apartments and half-board hotels.

"We’re proactively contacting everyone affected to discuss a full range of flexible options available, including amending to an alternative ski holiday, or cancelling and receiving a full refund," Crystal added.

The Telegraph further reports Crystal has confirmed the decision applies only to the coming season, adding the operator had also recently launched its 2021/22 programme.
