Join our over 50s ski holidays and ski with other like-minded people.
An amazing opportunity to join other over 50s skiers on a fabulous holiday in the mountains. Enjoy a warm and friendly atmosphere in the comfort of a luxurious chalet. Engage other like-minded individuals in conversation and explore the pistes in a group or alone. Best of all: No single supplements!
It doesn't matter if you are travelling alone or in a small group, you have come to the right place. Welcome to The Ski Gathering — social and over 50s single holidays for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. Meet other like-minded over 50s people on our skiing holidays for over 50s, they are equally suited to day-one beginners and seasoned veterans alike.
As with any shared chalet, all guests enjoy breakfast around the same time. Your lift pass has been delivered to the chalet so, whenever you're ready, just head for the slopes. World-class skiing awaits...
The choice is yours: ski with the group or do your own thing. Some like to form small groups of similar experience levels or interests; others like to strike out on an adventure of their own. It's completely up to you.
Join the others for aprés ski in the resort centre, where you can relax and socialize with fellow skiers. Alternatively, if you'd prefer a quieter evening, head back to the chalet to be one of the first to enjoy a slice of the afternoon cake. We'll all have dinner together. Grab a drink with the rest of the gang, or hit the hay ready for a big day tomorrow.
The single-occupancy supplement is generally the biggest headache for individual skiers travelling alone. Usually, solos have to pay a premium for the empty bed, making ski holidays unaffordable for most singles and solo skiers. With The Ski Gathering, you'll be sharing a room so there is no single supplement. Sharing a triple or quad room, you pay slightly less than those sharing a twin.
We have decades of combined experience providing first-rate ski holidays. So we understand that a first solo over 50s ski trip can seem a little daunting, especially if you're travelling alone as a solo skier. Well, we're here to help. At The Ski Gathering, you won't be on your own — you'll be sharing with other wonderful over 50s guests who are in the same boat as you.
You are never too old to ski! We have guests of all ages join our holidays. Typically the more mature skiers tend to be much more capable on the mountain as they have the experience of many season. Skiing when done sensibly is actually quite a safe sport with low speed falls tending to be a relatively soft affair.
Our Over 50s Ski Holidays are exclusively for adults only. This is your holiday so relax, switch off and enjoy it.
Our Over 50s Ski Holidays are tailor-made for single and solo skiers. Find your own perfect balance between free and sociable time.

Why not bring a friend or two? The Ski Gathering is perfect for solos and small groups alike.
Share the chalet, share the mountain, share the memories. This is a holiday for ski enthusiasts to enjoy together with like-minded people.

A solo ski holiday or single ski holiday is a ski trip where you can spend a week skiing and socialising with other people just like you. People who love to ski (or want to try it) but, for whatever reason, they don't have a group to ski with this year. For some, that's a choice: the skiing creates an opportunity to meet new people and that's exactly what they're looking for. For others, it a more pragmatic choice: they want to ski but their friends or partner can't make it this year. Either way, a solo ski holiday is a great way to enjoy the mountains and meet new people. We say it's company when you want it, freedom when you don't.
Yes. Your holiday will be hosted by a mature and experienced ski-industry professional who knows the local area and knows how to make a social holiday start off on the right foot. Your host is the social glue that binds the ski group together. On the first evening, they will be there to break the ice and make sure everyone feels welcome, relaxed and at home. This all happens naturally over a few welcome drinks: there's no cringey organised fun or ice-breakers. Our hosts are just there to put everyone at ease and make everyone feel welcome. When choosing our partner companies and hosts, we only work with people who share our passion for bringing together groups of sociable people who want to have a great time in the mountains.
No. The Ski Gathering does not offer "dating ski holidays" or "ski holidays for singles", as such. Instead, we tend to think of our ski trips as shared chalet holidays for individual skiers and sociable solo travellers.
You will be sharing the chalet with other independent travellers just like you, plus perhaps some groups of two or three skiers who already know each other but would like to mix with others. There will be a full range of abilities from day-one beginners to seasoned veterans of the slopes.
No. There are no formal or pre-arranged group activities. Nobody telling you how to have fun. It's totally casual. Meet other friendly people and do whatever makes a ski holiday awesome for you.
We currently offer ski holidays in Meribel, Corvara, Morzine, Les Gets, Chamonix - Les Houches, Zell Am See, Les Arcs, and La Plagne. All these resorts deserves to be near the top of any skier's bucket list, offering genuinely world-class skiing on- and off-piste. Read more...
No. Solo skiers and snowboarders share a room so there is no single supplement to pay. A simple solution to an age-old problem. Read more...
That's up to you! Many of our chalets offer single rooms. But they're in short supply, so book early if you want to have your own private space. For most people, though, the social holiday experience does involve sharing a bedroom. Depending on your chalet, you can choose from twin, triple and quad bedrooms. The more people you share with, the cheaper your holiday is likely to be. Some people like to share with a few people and enjoy the banter. Others prefer to have a bit more space. It's totally up to you. See all chalets...
Airport Transfers are typically not included in our chalet prices though this does vary from resort to resort, we are very happy to arrange your transfers for you.
The best time to arrive (when possible) is some time in the mid afternoon of the first day. If however you need to arrive in resort at another time we will do our best to accommodate you. The reason we recommend mid afternoon on the first day is because it give you an excellent chance to meet the other guests
No. Unless specified otherwise (e.g. on a single parents' holiday) there are no children on our social ski holidays — we specialise in adults-only ski holidays. One exception to this is our "Just Ski" offering. Just Ski is not a social ski holiday and doesn't involve sharing with other solos. Instead, it appeals to people who just want to travel alone, ski alone, and share a chalet with non-solos, possibly including families with young children.
Spent an amazing week at Les Suites d'Alpes in Les Gets on a 50+ with Ski Gathering. Belinda worked incredibly hard, attending to our every need. The chalet girls were very kind and the food was really excellent. The guests were a really great bunch of people and many were happy to ski as a group. All in all, a memorable holiday with a real party atmosphere for the Apres Ski.
