Top tips for making the most of your solo ski trip and overcoming your doubts:
There’s no need to let doubts hold you back– we have a few top tips that will make a solo ski trip safer and much more fun:
#1 Carry a safety whistle which you can reach easily in case you crash or get stuck in the snow – you can use this to attract the attention of passing skiers
#2 Don’t ski too far from the main pistes – if anything happens to you, you’ll need ski patrols to find you easily
#3 If you’re worried you won’t push yourself, try to set targets for each day and stick to them. Whether that’s trying a certain run, skiing for a set number of hours or pushing yourself to ski a little faster, setting a personal challenge will mean you won’t miss out on the encouragement you can get from friends
#4 Get chatty – if you’re keen to socialize in the evenings, make sure to strike up conversations when you can. Most other skiers are friendly and open, so make the most of time on the lifts or during ski lessons to make friends for dinner and après ski later in the day
#5 Avoid single traveller supplements by finding a group to travel with.
