The nearest chairlift is only around 40 metres/131 feet away, so we can be on the mountain almost as soon as you’ve finished breakfast. Spend your days skiing at your own pace, with runs to suit different abilities and the freedom to explore the resort with your fellow Solos.
Alpine adventures

Essential Information

Skiing Programme

You may choose to join group ski lessons, arrange private tuition or team up with fellow Solos to explore the slopes together. Your Tour Leader will be on hand to help organise your skiing and make the most of your time in Pila.

Ski Hire
Ski equipment can be hired directly through the hotel, making it easy to get kitted out without travelling elsewhere in the resort. We strongly recommend checking your equipment carefully when you collect it and agreeing its condition with the supplier, as you are responsible for any damage during your hire period. €62 skis / €40 boots / €15 helmet for 6 days

Ski Lessons

Group ski lessons are available Monday to Friday for adults and children, with a minimum of 4 and maximum of 10 participants.

5 days: €280.00 per person

4 days: €260.00 per person

Private lessons are also available, with 1½-hour lessons from approximately €84 per person, or 2-hour lessons from €112 per person.

Lessons must be booked in advance, with participant names required at least 20 days before the lesson start date. Prices are approximate and subject to change.

Subject to sufficient numbers, an optional weekday Ski-Away day can be arranged to nearby resorts including Gressoney, Champoluc, Cervinia, La Thuile or Courmayeur.

Prices are approximate and subject to change.

Dress Code
On a skiing holiday, dress is generally very informal, the emphasis being on comfort and warmth. We recommend that you pack a pair of skiing trousers and warm ski jacket or a waterproof shell and separate fleece lining or an all-in-one ski suit. Thermal or silk underwear is recommended. Cotton/cotton mix roll necks, T-shirts or sweat shirts; several thin layers are better than one thick layer. 
 
Ski socks, ski gloves or mitts and a hat or headband are suggested. Where temperatures are expected to be well below zero, take a facemask or balaclava. Moon boots or waterproof walking shoes are a “must”. Suntan cream (high protective factor), lip salve, sunglasses and/or goggles are all very useful items to pack. Casual clothes are ideal for the evenings; it is unusual on skiing holidays to dress formally in the evenings.
Important Information
A reasonable level of fitness is required
Gratuities
We suggest a Group Collection to cover transfer drivers, and hotel staff of €20 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % add on. If you choose to have ski lessons, you may also like to thank your ski instructor at the end of the week with a token of appreciation.
Airport Transfers

The journey to/from Turin Airport takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on traffic and winter road conditions.

Airport transfers are not included for this trip. Please speak with our team to discuss the best transfer options for this trip. To learn more about flight options, payments, and transfers, click here.

Flights

Whether you'd like us to arrange your flights or prefer to book your own, we're here to make the process easy. Our team can secure flights from the location that suits you best, or provide all the arrival and departure details you'll need if booking independently.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance before any trip — it safeguards you against unexpected issues like illness, cancellations, or lost luggage. It also protects your health and travel investment, giving you peace of mind to fully enjoy your journey. Click here. to learn more.
WhatsApp Group

Shortly before your holiday, you will be invited to join an optional WhatsApp group to connect with your fellow travellers and your Tour Leader.

Passports and visas

We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.

Not sure what travel documents you need? Our trusted partner, sherpa°, makes it easy to check visa and entry requirements based on your destination and passport. One quick check now means smooth sailing later. Click here to learn more.

Health requirements 
We recommend that you check if vaccinations are required for your destination at the CDC’s recommendations for your visited destination(s). We also recommend you purchase travel protection. A travel protection plan can often assist with medical emergencies and reimburse costs that are covered by the plan. Please verify coverage details with Solos before you travel.
Time Difference
