Whether a social skier, intrepid cross-country explorer or winter sports thrill-seeker, a solo ski holiday can be a dreamy getaway for those of all abilities.
Picture juggling only your ski poles on the chair lift, locating one pair of skis after a session outside, and donning a backpack of slope snacks that you don’t have to share.
Freedom to cruise down winding runs far from your family and friends may just be the best way to fine-tune your skills on the pistes, and when the enriching experience comes with no additional fees for single occupancy, going it alone seems all the more enticing.
Vibrant aprés ski scenes meet muscle-soothing massages at these snow-capped European hotspots, from France to Norway, Italy to Finland. Here are the best ski holidays for solo travellers looking for an active winter break that’s affordable, with ski equipment packages to kit you out for the slopes.
