  1. Waterproof ski jacket

  2. Waterproof ski trousers

  3. Ski gloves or mittens

  4. Ski socks (comfortable feet are essential when skiing and so it is worth investing in a few good pairs of socks)

  5. Thermal base layers (it is advisable to layer your clothing when skiing so that you can remove layers if you become too hot and replace them when needed)

  6. Light fleeces/jumpers (to layer over a base layer and under your ski jacket) – thick jumpers can be bulky and restrict movement when worn under a ski jacket

  7. Warm hat (we recommend wearing a helmet when skiing, but this can be hired in resort)

  8. Goggles and good quality sunglasses (the sun is extremely powerful in the mountains and the reflection off the snow can be very strong on the eyes)

  9. Sunscreen/block for the face and neck

  10. Winter insurance – it is essential that your travel insurance covers you for winter sports as medical services are not cheap

FAQ's

Will I be with other singles?

Yes, ColdFusion caters exclusively for people travelling alone and we can guarantee that you will be with other singles whichever week you choose. The people we accommodate are social people looking to enjoy a traditional chalet holiday with a ready-made group of friends to ski/snowboard with during the day and to socialise with in the evenings.

Is this a dating holiday?

Absolutely not. Some people travel with us who are in relationships, but for whatever reason have left their partners at home. We also welcome couples, where they are social people and want to enjoy the company of like-minded people in an adult environment.

What is the average age of the other guests?

Our guests span a wide age range, from 20 to 70 years, with no age restrictions in place. Over the course of the week, the age of individuals staying in our chalet becomes inconsequential as they discover their shared interests and connections through skiing and snowboarding, transcending any age-related distinctions.

For the comfort of our older guests, we also offer dedicated "Over 50's Weeks" where they can opt to stay in a chalet with peers of a similar age. However, during our regular holiday periods, the age diversity among our guests is embraced, making each stay a unique and inclusive experience.

Will I be the only male / female?

Typically, there is an approximate 50/50 split between male and female guests in the chalet, although we cannot provide an absolute guarantee of this ratio.

I have never tried skiing / snowboarding - can I still book a holiday?

Yes, we welcome people of all abilities, including complete beginners. Our team understands how daunting it can be to put on a pair of skis/snowboard for the very first time and will be on hand to help you every step of the way. We can organise lessons (both group and private), equipment hire and lift pass for you to make your first day as stress-free as possible – after all you will have a lot to concentrate on! After your lessons, we can show you the best places to practice your new-found skills with people who are of the same level as you.

Im a snowboarder - will I be the only one?

Most probably not.... We have seen a growth in the popularity of snowboarding over the past few years and tend to have a 50/50 split of skiers and snowboarders in the chalet. Our chalet hosts and guides both ski and snowboard and so you will always have somebody to snowboard with.
