Whether you are a beginner or an experienced skier, singles ski holidays are a great way to do whatever you like, whenever you like on and off the pistes.
Singles ski holidays are the ultimate winter escape
Whether you’re clipping into skis for the very first time or you’ve spent years chasing perfect powder, singles ski holidays are one of the best ways to meet like-minded adventurers. Think snowy mountains, great conversation, shared après-ski drinks—and total freedom to spend your days exactly as you please.
Travelling solo means you get to set your own pace. Cruise gentle slopes, charge down challenging runs, linger over a mountain lunch, or head straight for the hot tub—your trip revolves entirely around you. Prefer quiet evenings with a book? Perfect. Want to join a lively group at the bar? Also perfect. On a solo ski holiday, you choose your own vibe.
Why book a solo ski trip?
Maybe your friends chose winter sun instead of winter fun this year, or maybe you’re itching to try skiing for the first time and don’t want to worry about slowing people down. A singles ski holiday gives you freedom from compromise.
Beginners can master the snowplough at their own pace without the pressure of keeping up.
Advanced skiers don’t have to wait at the bottom of every run for slower friends.
Everyone gets to tailor their trip to their needs—less waiting, more skiing, more fun.
On a singles trip, it’s all about your comfort, your goals, and your adventure.
How to plan the perfect singles ski holiday
We’ve rounded up some easy steps to help you choose the right destination, find the best deals, and make sure your trip feels effortless from start to finish.
1. Make a shortlist of resorts
Start by choosing resorts that match your skiing or snowboarding level.
If you’re a beginner: look for resorts with plenty of wide-open green and blue runs; choose ski schools with strong reviews; opt for chairlifts and gondolas rather than drag lifts (your legs will thank you!).
If you’re more advanced: Check for challenging reds and blacks, off-piste areas, and guided experiences.
Après-ski matters too: Fancy dancing on tables or cosy wine bars? Different resorts offer very different atmospheres. If nightlife is a big draw, explore our article: Best après-ski resorts
2. Search for singles ski holidays deals
Tour operators often run dedicated solo ski weeks, complete with accommodation, lift passes, social events, and optional lessons. Compare packages carefully—some include meals, equipment hire, or even guided mountain tours.

Return flights + transfers; seven-nights’ accommodation (half-board); ski or snowboard lessons; all equipment hire; your six-day lift pass
The Ski Gathering

Their themed weeks include: Over 50s; women-only ski holidays; beginner holidays; over 40s; off-piste adventures and many more.
3. Read reviews from other solo skiers
Real experiences matter. Reviews from other solo travellers can reassure you about: How friendly the resort is; whether chalet hosts encourage socialising; the quality of tuition; how suitable the slopes are for your level; and the general atmosphere for solo guests
If you’re nervous about your first solo trip, reviews can be a huge confidence boost.
Bonus tips for newbie solo skiers
Pack smart: Bring layers, extra gloves, and blister plasters. And never underestimate the power of merino socks.
Join resort activities: From guided tours to fondue nights, these are great ways to meet fellow travellers.
Stay connected: Many solo skiers link up via WhatsApp groups run by tour operators before the trip even starts.
Be social—but only if you want to: You’ll be surrounded by potential new friends, but there’s zero pressure. You can dip in and out of group activities as you like.
Consider ski insurance: Make sure yours specifically covers winter sports.
Book singles ski holidays!
Once you’ve done your research and found the perfect resort, go ahead and book. A mountain adventure, new friends, unforgettable memories, and fresh powder are waiting for you.
Let the countdown begin!
