From stunning scenery to great food and après-ski fun, here’s how to make the most of your time alone. Holidays for all budgets and levels of single skier are on offer from Ski Gathering, catering for beginners, under-35s and over-50s, with different room types at each hotel (single, twin or triple share, priced accordingly). If a week feels a bit over-long, there are four and five-night breaks available in the French resort of Les Gets, with welcome drinks, communal dinners and the chance to progress as a group. The hotel has its own wellness suite with good-sized pool, and an outdoor hot tub with lovely views.

A five-night break from £695 (shared triple) to £1,195 (single) half-board, theskigathering.com. If skiing alone feels daunting, book a week with singles specialist Friendship Travel, which offers five two-hour, small-group lessons included in the package price. Their Twin Share system offers the chance to save money by sharing a (same-sex) room in their two chalets, Alexandre and Chartreuse, both exclusive to Friendship Travel, meaning that all guests are holidaying alone. The hotel is set right by Le Diable gondola, giving easy access to more than 200km of piste, with communal dinners on five nights.

One week from £1,445pp half-board, including transfers and ski lessons (single rooms available), friendshiptravel.com. If a ski holiday is as much about enjoying the spectacular scenery as hurtling down pistes, the high-plateau resort of Seefeld makes a great choice, with snow-shoeing, ice-skating, tobogganing and almost 250km of cross-country skiing routes. The Alpenpark Resort has an adults-only spa area, with a panorama relaxation room that’s perfect for a lazy afternoon after a morning on the slopes. It has excellent kids’ facilities, too, including a kids’ club, making this a great choice for single-parent travellers, looking for an affordable family skiing break.
