 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
A little bit of a long shot, I was due to go skiing in December with my partner but as we have broken up that has gone out the window. I would still like to go and have a giggle in December but not on my own, I am a beginer and may inrol in ski school. I had planned to drive to France originally, is there anyone in the same boat who would like to go and have some company?

Hi as4u,
If you don't mind travelling alone we still have some spaces in our chalets for 13-20th December week and we have other solo skiiers booked in for those dates - there is no single supplement that week for having your own room.
Beginner lessons are easy to sort and we can help you with loads of advice. Details are available via the link below.
Happy planning!
Heather

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

as4u, if you plan to ski in December I strongly suggest you go to a high altitude resort, I have been to ice and fire genepi which was great but La Plagne is not snow sure. Just so you know and don't end up booking trip and there's not much snow, as you are a beginner you might not have thought of this.

speachmaus, I have to disagree with you about La Plagne not being snow sure. Most of the skiing is above 2000m. If La Plagne has no snow then the whole of the Northern French Alps are in trouble. It's true that the number of runs open the week before Christmas can be a bit limited - but as the OP is a beginner this is not important.

I did a week last year in 2 Alps at the same time of year, and it was touch and go lots of runs where closed and the snow wasn't great in places with a fair amount of ice, so this is a concern to me, shame it snowed the day before I left!

as4u, the start of the season was poor last year - and that applied to almost everywhere. I've not been to L2A but I've always understood that it's also a pretty snowsure resort as well. You would have been in trouble almost anywhere that week last year.
The week before Christmas is unpredictable weather wise. Often it's fine. It can be amazing, as it was in 2012. But you do run the risk that either there isn't very much snow about, or that the snow storms are in full swing and the lifts are shut because of high winds and/or the pistes are shut because they aren't yet avi controlled. That's why it's less popular and cheaper.

as4u, have a look at the all-inclusive holidays in UCPA centres in France, sold in the UK through Action Outdoors - have a word with them about your requirements. You can get lessons, gear, lift pass and full board pretty cheaply. Food is good and there's a sociable atmosphere. Ideal for solo travellers.

as4u, you definitely wouldn't be a loner at a UCPA - it's a very social setup that attracts a lot of single travelers. Plus the inclusive instruction means that you will be allocated a group of the same level to ski with.
