Check out our solo ski trips this January
Why go skiing with Solos
From thrilling glacier descents in France to relaxed, picturesque runs in the Italian Alps, check out our solo ski holidays this January.
Once the magic of Christmas fades and winter truly sets in, it’s all too easy to think it’s time to hibernate indoors. But with Solos, it’s time to hit the slopes instead! January is often the sweet spot for a ski holiday. The busy festive crowds have gone, the snow conditions are typically at their most reliable and crisp, and you can enjoy pristine morning pistes followed by cozy après-ski evenings.
Whether you’re a total beginner heading to ski school, or a seasoned expert on the mountain, we have the perfect getaways lined up for the start of 2027. All of our trips are designed exclusively for solo travelers, so you never have to worry about finding a ski buddy, and you’ll be hitting the slopes with a sociable group of like-minded people.
Here are our five favorite ski trips departing this January:
1. Meribel, France
Best for: All abilities wanting ski-in/ski-out access to a massive ski area.
When: 9th January 2027 – 16th January 2027
Where you'll stay: Hotel Le Mottaret (3-star), Méribel-Mottaret
If you’re all about getting straight onto the slopes without any fuss, Méribel is your kind of place. Sitting at 1,750m/5,741ft, it’s the highest resort in the Méribel Valley and right in the heart of the legendary 3 Valleys, and has direct access to 600km/373 miles of interconnected pistes.
This premium alpine destination is a brilliant base for all levels. Beginners have a dedicated zone in the village, intermediates can cover serious ground hopping over to Val Thorens or Courchevel, and advanced skiers can chase fresh off-piste powder.
You’ll be staying at the stylish, ski-in/ski-out Hotel Le Mottaret, perfectly positioned right on the pistes. After a big day on the mountain, you can relax in the hotel’s wellness center—complete with a pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room—before joining your fellow Solos for a five-course evening dinner.
2. Folgaria, Italy
Best for: Beginners and intermediates looking to master the basics on uncrowded slopes.
When: 16th January 2027 – 23rd January 2027
Where you'll stay: Club Hotel Alpino (3-star), Folgaria, Trentino Alps
Nestled in the dramatic Trentino Alps, the pretty Italian resort of Folgaria is a true Solos favorite. With 100% snowmaking coverage across its slopes, it’s the perfect, reliable spot to perfect those parallel turns or learn how to tackle those tricky moguls at the end of the day’s skiing.
The resort is steeped in charm and history, with WWI fortresses dotting the skyline along the 'Skitour dei Forti' circuit. It’s an incredibly relaxed environment where you can enjoy expert tuition at the ski school, ski at leisure, or even try your hand at snow-shoeing and Nordic walking if you fancy a break from the downhill action.
You’ll stay at a friendly, family-run hotel in the village center. Evenings here are low-key and wonderfully authentic, including a special dinner out at an alpine lodge, complete with a memorable ride on a snow-cat!
3.Adelboden, Switzerland
Best for: Intermediate and advanced skiers looking for classic Swiss charm and challenging runs.
When: 23rd January 2027 – 30th January 2027
Where you'll stay: Hotel Steinmattli, Adelboden
Set in the breathtaking Bernese Oberland, Adelboden is one of Switzerland’s top winter destinations. With 185km/115 miles of spectacular piste, it is an absolute dream for intermediate and advanced skiers, ranging from gentle blue runs with wide carving pistes, to the notoriously challenging World Cup black run at Chuenisbergli.
Unlike many other big-name resorts, the slopes here are never overcrowded. At the end of each day, you can follow beautiful reds and blues down through the pine forests, straight back into a traditional Swiss mountain village.
Your base for the week will be Hotel Steinmattli. Located just 150m/492ft from the main cable car, it boasts spectacular views across the Alps. After a fantastic day of skiing, you can unwind in the sauna or steam bath before enjoying a hearty meal in the hotel's 'AlpenChic' restaurant.

The area boasts 220km/137 miles of downhill skiing, stretching from tree-lined runs near the resort all the way up to high-altitude snowfields.
Intermediates will love the vast terrain and the memorable underground funicular railway, while advanced skiers can tackle steep descents and the legendary black runs at nearby Alpe d'Huez (included in your ski pass). Off the slopes, Les Deux Alpes is famous for its buzzing main street, packed with bars, restaurants, and lively après-ski spots.
You’ll be staying at the charming Hotel Ibiza, tucked away at the end of the valley with sweeping views of the Ecrins National Park. With an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, and sauna, it’s the perfect place to recharge after long days on the mountain.

The resort offers 70km/ 43.5 miles of beautifully groomed pistes with panoramic views of the Italian Alps. You'll enjoy the freedom of skiing at your own pace on typically quieter slopes, compared to the French Alps, and for those wanting to explore further afield, there’s an optional Ski-Away day to discover nearby well-known spots like Cervinia or Courmayeur.
Your home for the week is Hotel Printemps, a cozy, traditional mountain hotel. With several bars and mountain restaurants right on your doorstep, it’s incredibly easy to enjoy an authentic Italian après-ski aperitivo before heading back for your half-board dinner.
