Mountain professionals courting singles


Collaboration between resorts and club meetings, specialized agencies, speed dating on chairlift: the mountain professionals do not lack imagination to combine skiing and dating soulmate.


Wide open spaces, clean air, sport and a little cold to encourage closer: the cocktail seems more conducive to meetings. This is certainly rely on this element that many mountain tourism stakeholders to attract singles crowns. It must be said that the statistics estimate that population to 18 million people in France. Latest ones, and Meetic Belambra just announced their partnership to offer to the souls of lonely snow stays. An almost natural alliance between the giant online dating clubs and the great banner of resorts.

For this first collaboration, a single week is planned on one site: from 17 to 24 January at the club Belambra Arc 2000. On the program: skiing, of course, but also dance classes, a workshop to learn how to concoct cocktails, games evenings teams not to mention dancing or singing evenings. Rather enticing, even if the solos do not necessarily appreciate the supplements that apply for single occupancy of a room (699 euros against 566 euros for two).
Co-skiing through the Internet

Moreover, specialized agencies have not waited for this initiative to target that audience. Among them, Celibacy snow exclusively offers stays for winter sports. For an annual membership of 50 euros, members can access particular stays for singles, divorced and solos. And this time, no supplement for single room occupancy.

And for those who prefer to improvise once there, the stations no shortage of proposals. A pioneer in the field, the resort of Orres (Hautes-Alpes) launched since 2007 a weekend with singles speed dating on chairlift. A formula widely adopted by many mountain villages from the inevitable speed dating on Valentine's Day, which tends to become a classic embellished with variations such as the Snow dating Valmorel (several activities offered to unmarried) and even skiing dating near Bordeaux, in one of the only french indoor ski centers.

And now, with the rise of social networking, the co-skiing is in vogue. It is this time to find partners online, often on the station's website, only to find themselves on the slopes. An initiative that Carroz (Haute Savoie) disclaim all shades this winter, between ability to share its ski days, courtyards, meals or leisure activities such as walks with sled dogs. As for the 3 Vallées (Savoy), they also highlight the practice on their website including Les Menuires who have a specific meeting point for co-skiers.
