@Orai, you're welcome!
Just a thought, you said you're at beginner level. Have you tried having skis on at all, if not then a beginner lesson at one of the indoor snowdomes, (Hemel Hempstead would be my first choice) or Milton Keynes are probably closest for you if you're based in London. It lets you get used to the feel of having skis on your feet and the first amazing feeling of moving downhill slowly on skis (hopefully under control, but all good fun!)

Another option would be something like HOFNAR's beginners week (https://hofnar.com/beginners-improvers/ - but looks like Dan's in the middle of a post season update so better to drop him a line for details). If nothing else you know everyone else in the chalet is in the same boat, being both beginners and solo travellers unable to find friends/family who want give skiing a try.

This post is a few months old but If you've not booked yet I think you'll find action Outdoors worth a look. They have a number of centres in France, (I've been once, to serre chevalier) but the best part for you is that it includes lessons. I second the idea to have a taster at one of the indoor centres in the UK first but nothing will prepare you better than having lessons on a mountain.
I was worried I'd be the only English person but there were plenty of us and most people will be around your age.

@Orai, Hi there, I'm a keen skier who would also love to go skiing in 22/23, but none of my friends ski and I'm also based near London. Let me know if you're still looking for a ski buddy!

Hi! Similar situation here. Moving back to Europe in a week and none of my friends here ski. Will probably join a bash, but would like to have a few buddies to go on other trips as well so hit me up if you're still looking for one. (I'm 24 yr old female beginner intermediate)

Hey,
Me too - intermediate (blue/red piste skier) from London - mid 30's woman, suddenly realised today I have 10 days of leave to use before 6 Jan (oops!) so hoping to plan a trip first week of January. Never been on a solo ski trip before.
Currently looking at this place https://www.clubmed.co.uk/r/arcs-extreme/y which seems to be pretty low faff and quite sociable...

Hello ladies, are any of you still looking for a trip? I've got a space for a single female (in a shared room) on a trip to Solden, Austria, 25th March - 1st April.....

is anyone interested in a trip to Alps or Andorra in March when the sun is likely to be nice in afternoon. Looking on some sites e.g. Crystal there are some self catering holidays for around £500 including flights but not for the sole traveller. I could fly from most airports - I'd even be interested in driving across if that is economically feasible (never done it but can drive) with others.

@agos1, 2 trips are being organised by this site to the Dolomites this coming winter - where you'll easily find ski buddies. Alleghe and Arabba though, not Kronplatz.
https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=52715
Arabba (1-8 Feb) is available for booking now.
Alleghe (25Jan-1Feb) not available to book yet, but there is info available on how it went last winter.
