Discover solo skiing holidays

Ski Holiday Type Solo 2
  • Plan your own schedule for the week so every day of skiing is centred around what you want to gain from it - whether you fancy a ski lesson in the morning, to finish early and enjoy some afternoon après with newly made friends or you want to head out for a full day on the slopes - time is yours.
  • Take a break as and when you like, you are on your own time so if you fancy a mountain side coffee break or to finish the slopes in time for a leisurely lunch in resort, then the choice is yours.
  • Dine every day at your favourite cuisine stops. No need to worry about pleasing a group, the choice is yours. Meaning if you want to try a new place for dinner every night, you can or if you find the best meal in town, you can dine there every night.
  • Go at your own speed when solo skiing. There is no pressure to keep pace (or slow down) when it’s all about your own skills. Plan your preferred routes each day and enjoy the chance to discover new runs.
  • Perfect your skills in your own time, find that run that you feel challenges you and master it. There is no time pressure as it’s only you, so you can ascend, ski and repeat until you feel confident. If you need a little advice or would like to learn some new ski skills, you can opt to book a private ski lesson, just one to one with a ski instructor.
  • Choose your activities based on what you want to achieve from your week on the slopes. You may be there to push your limits and hit the slopes every day. You could also be looking to branch out and try a bit of cross-country skiing or a snowboarding lesson - you create the schedule as a solo skiing.
  • Solo skiing doesn’t mean you have to hit the mountains alone, joining a ski guiding tour is a great way to ski with others, enjoy guided routes and have company when pausing for lunch.
  • If you are new to skiing or snowboarding, then joining a ski school for some group lessons is the best choice. Not only can you learn from your instructor but also from others in the group, as well as meet some friendly faces each day who you then may spend your afternoons mastering the slopes with.
  • The great thing about the sport of skiing is the large après ski culture. No matter the resort you’ve chosen for your solo ski escape, there is always a chance to mingle over drinks, often starting in the afternoon and carrying on until the early hours. You will always find a bar, hotel lobby or even nightclub with plenty of like minded travellers.
  • Accommodation options can also offer a great way to meet like minded skiers. Opting to stay in our catered chalets with others gives you a chance to enjoy breakfast with conversation and evenings discussing routes.
  • Solo skiing doesn't need to cost you more, which is often the preconception but not always the case.
  • Inghams offers a selection of single skier accommodation with no supplement for travelling solo as part of the ski package.
  • See in the table below some of the destinations you can find these solo ski deals.
