The Best Bits

This week is specifically designed for solo skiers aged 50+ who love to ski but don’t necessarily have someone to travel with. It’s more than just a Skiworld chalet holiday – it’s a welcoming and sociable skiing experience where you can connect with like-minded people in the luxurious surroundings of two of our highest-rated chalets.

Enjoy shared accommodation and a full catered chalet service, with the support of a dedicated Skiworld Trip Manager throughout the week. From guided skiing on the first day to organised lunchtime meet-ups, après-ski catch-ups and a quiz night, everything is designed to help you ski as much as you like while making new friends during the week. This ski holiday is all about skiing together, easy socialising and enjoying the mountains at your own pace.

With over forty years of expertise in ski holidays, we remain dedicated to delivering affordable quality ski holidays with maximum value. Our catered chalet experience evolves every year to ensure our guests enjoy excellent food, wine, comfort and, most importantly, attentive service from our experienced chalet hosts.

Your Accommodation

Skiworld Exclusive Catered Chalet Woodpecker and Chalet Nightingale

Chalets Woodpecker and Nightingale sit side by side in a prime central location in Alpe d’Huez, combining classic Alpine charm with modern comfort and superb access to the slopes. Chalet Woodpecker is a spacious, stylish grade-5 chalet with seven en-suite bedrooms, a light-filled open-plan lounge and dining area with panoramic mountain views, and a shared wellness area complete with an indoor hot tub and sauna – perfect for unwinding after a big ski day. Just above it, Chalet Nightingale offers a cosier but equally charming retreat, with three en-suite bedrooms, a bright open-plan living space, vaulted ceilings and a large balcony overlooking the mountains. Both chalets are just a short stroll from the Alpe Express and Télécentre lifts and the resort centre, making them ideal for sociable skiing and easy evenings. Guests also benefit from heated ski boot storage and fast, free WiFi throughout.

These chalets are operated exclusively by Skiworld and run by our own chalet hosts and resort teams who will help ensure your holiday runs perfectly and provide information if you need it.

The Skiing

Alpe d’Huez skiing boasts an amazing variety of slopes over its four sectors, with 250km of pistes, some outstanding off-piste runs, a glacier and two snow parks, and the longest black run in the Alps. So there really is something for everyone.

The Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine ski area incorporates six different villages, all connected via the ski lift system: Vaujany 1250, Oz En Oisans 1350, Alpe d'Huez 1860, Huez 1500, Maronne 1450, and Auris En Oisans 1600. There are 135 pistes in the Grande Domaine ski area: 42 green runs, 37 blue runs, 39 red runs, and 17 black runs. And there are 84 ski lifts: 6 cable cars, 9 gondolas, 25 chair lifts, and 30 button lifts/t-bars. The number of green runs is a big appeal of this ski area, as it is a very beginner-friendly resort, while still having lots of more challenging runs for the more advanced riders.

The Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine Ski (full area) lift pass gives you unlimited access to this entire area.
