Why is it hard to book single rooms at a reasonable price?

Most hotels in the Alps are built for families on winter vacation. And the demand for single rooms has historically been low. Changed habits and behaviour patterns have resulted in a rising demand, however the supply remains the same. Usually you will have to book a double room for single use, which means that it will cost twice as much. At many hotels it may also be difficult to book, let’s say 40 single rooms, since the number of rooms is limited.
