Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there
I'm a 30 year old intermediate skiier looking for a solo trip in next year.
Sadly I've missed the UCPA discounted prices, but UCPA does look like the best option for a solo traveller so am thinking of booking on to the UCPA Val D'Isere week 6th - 13th January, full time instruction.
Anyone else scheduled to go that week and travelling from London?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Can't comment on Val but I recently stayed on my own in UCPA Chamonix (summer season) and highly recommend. Great value, lots of food (seriously, lots of it!) and nice to be in an international accom for a change. Will try it in winter at some point.

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

The UCPA is great, I've been with them a few times always good fun, you'll struggle to find better value as a solo skier.
The full time instruction is worth it so you have a group to ski with though calling it "instruction" is a little generous in my experience, view it more like a resort guide that gives some skiing tips
Have you had a look at Tignes? Not as much night life but the UCPA centre there is only a couple of years old.
I'm sure you'll have fun whichever centre you go to.

Been to Val D'Isere and a few other UCPA Centres now, Val was great a fair few more brits there than others so plenty people to have a laugh with. I went Half time instruction gave us a chance to ski with the others in our group as well as people we met in other groups on our mornings/afternoons off.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Went to the UCPA in Val d’Isere last year solo and it was great. Going again this year in early Feb. The centre was pretty tired compared to the Tignes one, but there were plans up on the wall for an upcoming refurbishment, but not sure if that was done this summer or still planned.
