Share the chalet with sociable grown-ups
Travel alone or in a small group. It's up to you
Share a chalet with other sociable skiers
We will never charge you extra for travelling alone
A ski holiday doesn't have to break the bank. When all is said and done, it's all about the powder and the good vibes anyway. Our budget ski holidays let you focus on the slopes and the après ski, without having to worry about your wallet.
Join our budget ski holidays and enjoy the company of fellow solo skiers.
A budget-friendly way to enjoy a ski holiday in the company of like-minded solo skiers. Spend time with your fellow guests, hit the slopes solo or with a group, and the best part is, there's no single supplement! Enjoy all that Les Portes du Soleil has to offer without breaking the bank.
Whether you're travelling alone or with a small group, you have come to the right place. Welcome to The Ski Gathering — a social event for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. Meet new people with similar interests on a skiing trip. Our ski holidays are suitable for both absolute novices and regular red run cruisers.
On our Budget Ski Holidays, we do things the simple way, which is what helps make these holidays such good value.
For example, you'll enjoy a continental breakfast in the morning, a two-course evening meal, and skip the usual afternoon tea for a well deserved après-ski.
We also select chalets that offer everything you need for a great holiday but without the frills to really bring you value. Please do note if you've been to some of our other chalets before that our budget ski holidays do offer a simpler experience that some of our more luxurious offerings.
As with any shared chalet, all guests enjoy a continental breakfast at the same time. Your lift pass has been delivered to the chalet so, whenever you're ready, just head for the slopes. World-class skiing awaits...
The choice is yours: ski with the group or do your own thing. Some like to form small groups of similar experience levels or interests; others like to strike out on an adventure of their own. It's completely up to you.
Join the others for a much-needed aprés ski in the resort centre, take a walk in the lively resort centre, or just head back to the chalet and enjoy its facilities. We'll all enjoy a two-course evening meal together. Grab a drink with the rest of the gang, or hit the hay ready for a big day tomorrow.
The single-occupancy supplement is generally the biggest headache for individual skiers travelling alone. Usually, solos have to pay a premium for the empty bed, making ski holidays unaffordable for most singles and solo skiers. With The Ski Gathering, you'll be sharing a room so there is no single supplement. Sharing a triple or quad room, you pay slightly less than those sharing a twin.
We have years of combined expertise, offering world-class ski breaks. We can appreciate that going on your first solo ski holiday can be a little intimidating, especially if you're doing it as a solo skier. You won't be alone at The Ski Gathering, as you'll be interacting with other amazing people who share your interests.
Beside being a popular and lively bar on the Front de Neige in Les Gets, après-ski is a concept on its own! Literally the French term for "after skiing", this is the time to celebrate a day on the slopes after your last run. Hit the bars as soon as the lifts stop, or anytime after lunch really, the choice is yours!
Skiing in March, you'll find fewer families around, and less of those snaking trails of beginners on the slopes. Skiing in April, you'll experience the party-vibe that spring brings to the resort's centre (when après-ski tends to start earlier). It's warm, it's sunny, and it's very relaxed. Plus, we often get a big dump of snow in late March, and we've had some of our best skiing then! So don't forget your sunscreen when you hit the slopes, head for a walk, or spend a long lazy lunch on the sun-bathed terrace of a mountain restaurant!
Why not bring a friend or two? The Ski Gathering is perfect for solos and small groups alike.

A solo ski holiday or single ski holiday is a ski trip where you can spend a week skiing and socialising with other people just like you. People who love to ski (or want to try it) but, for whatever reason, they don't have a group to ski with this year. For some, that's a choice: the skiing creates an opportunity to meet new people and that's exactly what they're looking for. For others, it a more pragmatic choice: they want to ski but their friends or partner can't make it this year. Either way, a solo ski holiday is a great way to enjoy the mountains and meet new people. We say it's company when you want it, freedom when you don't.
Yes. Your holiday will be hosted by a mature and experienced ski-industry professional who knows the local area and knows how to make a social holiday start off on the right foot. Your host is the social glue that binds the ski group together. On the first evening, they will be there to break the ice and make sure everyone feels welcome, relaxed and at home. This all happens naturally over a few welcome drinks: there's no cringey organised fun or ice-breakers. Our hosts are just there to put everyone at ease and make everyone feel welcome. When choosing our partner companies and hosts, we only work with people who share our passion for bringing together groups of sociable people who want to have a great time in the mountains.
No. The Ski Gathering does not offer "dating ski holidays" or "ski holidays for singles", as such. Instead, we tend to think of our ski trips as shared chalet holidays for individual skiers and sociable solo travellers.
You will be sharing the chalet with other independent travellers just like you, plus perhaps some groups of two or three skiers who already know each other but would like to mix with others. There will be a full range of abilities from day-one beginners to seasoned veterans of the slopes.
No. There are no formal or pre-arranged group activities. Nobody telling you how to have fun. It's totally casual. Meet other friendly people and do whatever makes a ski holiday awesome for you.
We currently offer ski holidays in Meribel, Corvara, Morzine, Les Gets, Chamonix - Les Houches, Zell Am See, Les Arcs, and La Plagne. All these resorts deserves to be near the top of any skier's bucket list, offering genuinely world-class skiing on- and off-piste. Read more...
No. Solo skiers and snowboarders share a room so there is no single supplement to pay. A simple solution to an age-old problem. Read more...
That's up to you! Many of our chalets offer single rooms. But they're in short supply, so book early if you want to have your own private space. For most people, though, the social holiday experience does involve sharing a bedroom. Depending on your chalet, you can choose from twin, triple and quad bedrooms. The more people you share with, the cheaper your holiday is likely to be. Some people like to share with a few people and enjoy the banter. Others prefer to have a bit more space. It's totally up to you. See all chalets...
Airport Transfers are typically not included in our chalet prices though this does vary from resort to resort, we are very happy to arrange your transfers for you.
The best time to arrive (when possible) is some time in the mid afternoon of the first day. If however you need to arrive in resort at another time we will do our best to accommodate you. The reason we recommend mid afternoon on the first day is because it give you an excellent chance to meet the other guests
No. Unless specified otherwise (e.g. on a single parents' holiday) there are no children on our social ski holidays — we specialise in adults-only ski holidays. One exception to this is our "Just Ski" offering. Just Ski is not a social ski holiday and doesn't involve sharing with other solos. Instead, it appeals to people who just want to travel alone, ski alone, and share a chalet with non-solos, possibly including families with young children.
From the moment I first spoke to Jana to saying goodbye to Belinda, the whole week has been nothing but incredible! I've never experienced such unbelievable service from a team, incl the hosts in the chalet.
