Welcome to Pistepals - Ski Holidays for Solo Travellers

Pistepals - the place for independently minded Skiers & Snowboarders.

Pistepals is where solo travellers and small groups come together. We provide ski holidays for independently minded Skiers & Snowboarders - so if you are a single skier, a small group of snowboarders or trying your first solo ski holiday then come and join a group of other friendly & outgoing travellers.

Pistepals skiing & snowboarding holidays are sociable ski holidays, designed for solo skiers & small groups. This means there's no single supplements and it's a great way to mix with other outgoing travellers from all walks of life. If you travel independently or in a small group but like sociable ski holidays, then Pistepals is the place for you!

About Pistepals - To solve a single skiing dilemma...

I was a late starter in the world of skiing at the age of 27 - so by that time I had no mates that skied or boarded! I searched everywhere for skiing holidays for singles but found most operators wanted a gigantic single supplement. Seems singles ski trips were pretty thin on the ground - you had to organise it all yourself.

I tasked myself with solving this problem and decided to set up Pistepals - to be able to bring together groups of like-minded people in a fully catered chalet - handpicked for its location, service and comfort. So far over 20 successful weeks have been run with solo skiers and snowboarders from all over the UK.

Not just ski holidays for singles...who are our guests?

Pistepals is the holiday provider for solo skiers and snowboarders. We love shredding the snow, laughing at lunch, chairlift chuckles and apres ski antics so if you want to join in with the mixed groups of solo skiers/boarders in the same boat as you - come along on one of our fully hosted weeks in Morzine!

Many Pistepals also travel independently of their friends and family - a good proportion of guests have partners who can't or won't ski. So we would never call Pistepals trips "singles skiing holidays" but they are perfect skiing holidays for singles or anyone else who finds themselves without a ski buddy.

We don't place any expectations on single skiers coming along and meeting people - we are not here for that - (not saying it doesn't happen mind you - we've had a Pistepals marriage already!) the are a gathering of like minded skiers and snowboarders travelling alone and hoping to get good snow, good banter and well fed.

So don't think "skiing holidays for singles" - more like a "virtual ski club". I know it can be daunting to come along and meet a bunch of people for the first time - but they are in exactly the same boat as you!

You can check our galleries and testimonials of previous solo ski holiday groups if you wish to be reassured further.

From Solo Skier to Ski Instructor

Submitted by admin on Thu, 09/06/2012 - 11:20

My first ski holiday came about when I was trying to decide where to spend the summer. Time went on, I couldn’t make up my mind, and before I knew it the schools were back and most beach resorts were shutting up for the winter. I had loved the idea of spending a holiday in the mountains, so I bit the bullet and convinced some friends to stay at a little chalet in Tignes, France. I say chalet, but it wasn’t exactly one of those luxury wooden places that tempt you to stay in as much as head out into the snow, but it was affordable and I wasn’t planning on being indoors much.

Solo Ski Holidays in April

Ski Holidays in April

People may tell you "Morzine is too low" or "there might not be any snow" when it comes to skiing over Easter. Many people will wait till the very last minute to book a ski trip in the last few weeks of the season.

Easter is early this year and Easter Sunday falls on 8th April, mid way between the two last weeks I have running on Pistepals trips.

Short Breaks for solo skiers

Great deals on short singles ski breaks

Here are some tips on maximising a "skiing short break"

Flights - A flight landing in Geneva around 8 or 9am will have you in resort for about 10:30am and because we make sure you have your lift passes ready - you can do a couple of runs and be sitting having lunch in the sunshine by 1pm!

On the way home, a transfer bus will pick you up 3 hours prior to your departure time - so work around that and get a morning or even a whole extra day on the slopes. 8pm flights will be picked up at 5pm so even time for apres ski!
