Skiing for single people
 

I am looking to have a ski holiday in feb (France or Austria) without my
regular skiing partner. Can anyone advise on the best way to arrange a ski
holiday for a single person without having to pay for a double or twin room?
Any ideas welcomed

Several of the big operators have chalets with odd single rooms. I
would ring them in turn and ask what they've got.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

I've used some of those single rooms, they tend to be very small eaves
rooms, not much larger than the bed. it can be a pain especially when your
kit is wet. but You'll be ther to ski not sleep, won't you!

Many single skiers find Ski Club holidays an ideal way of having a
good time on and off-piste. URL in my sig for details.

they generally go under the name 'cabin rooms', which conjours up
pictures of romantic clipper ships and such but it is more like being
chucked in the brigg. Watch out for words like 'restricted height' and
'eaves room'. You'd be amazed at how few people read the acres of small
print in the brochures and who are then sorely dissapointed on holiday.

If you book at the last minute you can often get a double for the price
of a single or very little more. I don't know if this works in France
in February.

If you don't want to do your own hacking around the operators, use a
specialist agent - Ski Solutions, Alpine Answers, whoever.
Small operators are often better than big ones, so if you've fixed on a
resort, find out what small operators it has and try them.

If you don't mind sharing a room, say so. It's relatively easy for
blokes to get shares as there's more of you.

Ski Olympic has a Chalet in Meribel with one single room. Stayed there when
it first opened about 5 years ago. Was very confortable. Room had on
suite.

We (and other tour operators) offer a Male or Female share basis where you
pay the standard price for the holiday with no supplements on the basis you
are prepared to share with another single man or woman.

See www.snowstarholidays for details.

Cheers,
Richard.
