Solo ski holiday Courchevel – Saturday 7th January 2023

Chalet accommodation and ski tuition in Courchevel

This is a really popular ski trip for our solo skiers, which we run twice a year in January and March. You will benefit from chalet accommodation on this group ski trip, as well as ski lessons based on your ability. There will be plenty of opportunity to meet new, like-minded skiers throughout the trip.

This is definitely a good choice if you want to socialise and combine the very best lessons with plenty of free ski time as well. By attending lessons (10 hours in total spread over 3 mornings) it’s an ideal way to identify other skiers who ski at your pace even though they may be staying in other chalets. The best skiers are challenged by these excellent instructors and beginners are well looked after and encouraged by more experienced guests.

Who is this solo ski holiday for?

This is the ski holiday that suits all abilities as 10 hours tuition is offered to everyone from beginners to advanced skiers. Whether you are single or have a partner who doesn’t ski, this is the perfect trip that will allow you plenty of time on the slopes whilst enabling you to meet like-minded skiers in a friendly environment.

Prices

Prices vary according to the chalet you choose but they all include 7 nights accommodation, 7 breakfasts  ( 2 will be self service) 5 dinners with wine and 10 hours ski tuition.

Chalet owners far prefer it if we can organise ourselves to share rooms. I am therefore very happy to find you someone to share with. They have however agreed to some single occupancy for a supplement but these rooms are limited. If you choose a single room the skivo2 supplement is £400 in premier chalets & £300 in Chalet Roger and Valerianne.

Chalet  rooms vary considerably. Where possible we give priority to those sharing a room before those requiring single occupancy. Within each category if rooms differ we try to give the advantage to those who book first.

Skivo2 premier chalets give more choice of food, beautifully decorated ensuite accommodation, everything that the standard chalets do plus that little bit extra:

Guests in skivo2 premier chalets enjoy a full cooked breakfast along with fresh fruit salad in addition to the standard breakfast offered in the other chalets. Or your chef will be happy to help if you prefer something else.

A glass or two of chilled bubbly along with some canapés before dinner each evening.

A speciality cheeseboard with fresh fruit and port is offered each evening after dinner.

Specially chosen top quality red, white and rosé wines are also served each evening.

Additionally each bedroom is supplied with a hairdryer and extra soft, fluffy bath and hand towels.
