Why Go Solo? The Perks of Skiing Alone
It’s easy to assume ski holidays are best suited to big groups or family getaways, but hitting the slopes on your own can be just as rewarding. Here’s why going solo could be your next epic adventure.
- Benefit From Total Freedom
When you ski solo, it’s just you, the mountain and the freedom to follow your own path. There’s no compromising over plans, no waiting around trying to rally the troops and definitely no debates about dinner options (tartiflette, anyone?). It’s your ski holiday – and you get to do it your way. Pick the resort you fancy, choose the runs you want to lap over and over again, and if you prefer a relaxing spa session over rowdy aprés-ski – well, it’s entirely up to you! - Make Faster Progress on the Slopes
Skiing solo offers the ultimate winter experience when it comes to building confidence, perfecting carves and mastering every manoeuvre under the mountain sun. Without the distraction of keeping up with your group, you’ll have more time to focus on taking your skills to the next level. - Meet Like-Minded Ski Fanatics
Solo skiing is a great way to meet new people who share the same love of skiing as you do. Trust us – friendships on the slopes quickly progress from random chairlift chats to late-night après-ski fun partying into the early hours! In fact, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to form connections with people. If you’ve been skiing for some time, you’ll already know that skiers are a friendly bunch; but by the end of your holiday, you might find yourself with a whole new crew of snow-worshipping pals. - A Chance to Recharge
For many people, a singles ski holiday is as much about finding headspace as it is about getting their fix of snow-time. There’s a calming feeling in the stillness of the mountain, the crisp Alpine air and the rhythmic swoosh of skis on powder. It’s almost like therapy, but with a much better view!
Tips for Booking a Solo Ski Holiday
- Pick the Right Resort
With so many options to choose from, picking the perfect resort for your solo ski adventure might feel like a bit of a challenge. Where do you start? After all, not all resorts are the same and each resort has its individual perks. When searching for a resort that best suits your needs as a solo skier, consider your ski abilities and choose one that has slopes that best match your skill level. Also, don’t forget to think about transfer times, apres-ski and those off-slope activities for when you’ve had your fill of snow-time for the day. - Choose the right accommodation
Many resorts are well suited to solo skiers thanks to shared chalets and small-sized apartments that provide the option for socialising or enjoying a low-key night in. Staying somewhere sociable, like a shared chalet, is great for meeting like-minded ski fanatics and can help you feel less alone. However, if you prefer some quiet time to unwind after an exhausting day on the hill, a small-sized apartment is ideal. - Pre-Book Your Ski Extras
Pre-booking your lift passes, ski hire and transfers means less time waiting around and more time to play on the hill. Booking with us? Then make sure to include your passes, ski hire, lessons, transfers and all the other holiday-making extras as part of your ski package. Our one-stop-shop means you’ll spend less time researching and more time choosing the bits that make your holiday an unforgettable experience. - Don’t Overpack
You won’t have anyone to help lug your bags through the airport, so try not to overpack. We know – no easy feat when you have a lot of layers to take with you! Instead, pack smart and think about only taking the essentials; thermals, sunglasses, SPF, socks, ski gear... you know the drill. You might already have skis and boots, but seeing as you can hire these in the resort, you might want to leave them at home when solo travelling. Just to make your life that bit easier. - Check out a guided tour
Guided tours are an underrated highlight. You learn so much about the local area and they’re also perfect for meeting other skiers and snowboarders. In short, a guided mountain tour is a brilliant way to explore the slopes while making new friends.
Skiing Solo on a Budget: Tips to Save Without Compromising Fun
Ski holidays can seem like they come with a pricey attached tag, which means travelling alone can feel like an even bigger splurge. The good news is that you really don’t have to break the bank to get your snow fix. With a little planning and a pinch of creativity, you can have a trip that offers unmatchable excitement for the absolute best price possible.
When you travel alone, you have full control of every penny you spend, making it easier to plan efficiently and stick to your budget. After all, there’s no splitting the bill to cover your mates’ expensive taste for champagne when you only had a glass of the (delicious) house wine! Now we call that a win.
You also save on accommodation when you ski alone. Accommodation usually takes the bulk of the budget on a ski holiday and while that may seem daunting, plenty of ski resorts offer shared chalets and budget-friendly studio apartments that are ideal for single travellers. For example, sharing a chalet means you get all the perks of a catered stay (hello, afternoon cake!) without footing the bill for the entire property. You still save if you opt for a single studio; you can plan your meals accordingly, pack for a solo picnic and save big on the group lunch! Plus, keep your eyes peeled for resorts offering early booking discounts and take advantage of single lift pass deals. Don’t worry – they’re not hard to miss.
Best Resorts for Solo Skiers in Europe
If you’re planning to travel alone on your next ski holiday, you’ll no doubt want to make a beeline for resorts that offer a combination of epic skiing, high-energy apes-ski and all the holiday-making facilities you could want from a winter getaway. Here are our top picks for solo ski adventures in Europe.
- Avoriaz
Avoriaz scores a perfect 10 for solo skiers looking for a resort with convenience at its core. A purpose-built resort, Avoriaz is car-free, easy to navigate and packed with ski-in, ski-out accommodation options that mean you won’t need to waste any precious ski-time wandering around a maze of streets with your skis and heavy boots in tow! Part of the extensive Portes du Soleil ski area, solo visitors have access to an incredible 600km of pistes to explore along with plenty of varied terrain to pit your wits and skills against. The resort's facilities are top notch and there’s an abundance of cafés and restaurants to keep you fuelled up during your stay. Also, with a short transfer time from Geneva Airport (around 90 minutes), it’s ideal for a hassle-free solo getaway. - Flaine
Flaine is perfect if you’re after straightforward skiing with minimal fuss. Known for its wide, open pistes and excellent snow conditions, Flaine really is any solo skier’s ultimate fun-filled winter destination. The resort is super easy to navigate, so you’ll feel right at home even if it’s your first time on the slopes. Getting there is super easy, too; it’s just 90 minutes from Geneva, making it one of the most accessible resorts in the French Alps. Flaine is also home to ultra-modern facilities, like heated chairlifts and well-marked runs, ensuring you spend more time playing on the hill and less time studying the piste map to figure out where you need to go. - Les Menuires
Part of the 5-star Three Valleys – the largest ski area in the world – Les Menuires is a fantastic option for solo skiers looking to experience the region’s epic slopes without splashing the cash at the expensive neighbouring resorts of Courchevel or Méribel, who conveniently share the same ski area. Les Menuires has got everything you need for an unforgettable adventure, including state-of-the-art lifts, access to 600km of slopes and fantastic accommodation options. The transfer to the resort is relatively short; it's only 2 hours from Chambéry Airport and its simple layout makes it easy to navigate. The bonus? Les Menuires is known for being a laidback and friendly resort, making it easy to spark natural conversations with other skiers on the lifts or in the rental shop.
Après-Ski for One: Where to Party Until the Early Hours
Travelling solo doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the late-night fun. In fact, it's the perfect opportunity to enjoy a vibrant evening, meet new people and share ski stories over a cheeky après beer with the friends you made on the slopes. Here's a breakdown of a few of our can’t-miss après-ski highlights.
- Val d’Isère
There’s no other way of explaining it: Val d’Isère’s après-ski scene is legendary. Located well above 2,000m making it the highest ski resort in Europe, you’ll feel like you’re partying on top of the world when you head to either La Folie Douce or Bar660 – two can’t-miss venues literally situated on the slopes. La Folie Douce is the place to be for a high-energy atmosphere; with live music and table-top dancing in your ski boots almost mandatory! Don’t worry about feeling out of place as a solo traveller. The feel-good vibes are so infectious; you’ll find yourself mingling with your newly found mates in no time. - St. Anton
St. Anton is an après-ski haven for solo travellers looking for some legendary late-night partying. MooserWirt and Krazy Kanguruh are two epic hotspots where the fun starts mid-afternoon and doesn’t stop until the early hours. The crowd is welcoming, the DJs are relentless and the vibe is always electric. Spark a convo over a stein of beer or sing along to the cheesy tunes; either way, you’re in for an unforgettable evening. - Les Deux Alpes
Les Deux Alpes is a top pick if you’re after a slightly more low-key night out. While there are plenty of late-night party venues on offer throughout the resort, The Polar Bear Pub and Smithy’s Tavern are both popular with solo travellers and groups alike thanks to their eclectic menu of live music, signature refreshments and a chilled yet energetic atmosphere (if you get what we mean!). Overall, Les Deux Alpes is a great resort to grab a cheeky après beer, swap ski tips or join in on a game of darts or pool.
Make the Most of Your Time on the Slopes Alone
Hitting the slopes alone is the golden opportunity to explore the Alps at your own pace. At the end, you’ll hopefully leave the mountain with not just memories but a stronger sense of independence and a deeper connection to the slopes.
Being on your own also means you have the entire ski area to take on and the piste map is essentially your playground. This is also the perfect time to get a mountain guide and venture off into the unbeaten track away from the crowds knowing you’re in safe hands. You’ll discover new, lesser-known runs while learning first-hand about the area.
Take advantage of the little moments and opportunities solo skiing offers. Stop whenever and wherever you like to snap photos of those pinch-me views or sit back and soak up the sun on a quiet terrace. However you choose to treat yourself at the end of the day, you’ve certainly earned it.
