Ski holidays are a great way to make friends with other people and even whole families- and sometimes reconnect with old friends!
I have made life-long friends with tons of people I have met in Ski resorts.
In Cervinia- which, if you read this blog you will know is my favourite ski resort- many of the locals have become good friends of ours. Giulia, the adventurous and humble waitress from the Perruquet, is like a sister to me and her aunt, Sylvana, is one of my father’s best friends.
Many of our clients became close friends of our family- even joining in the celebrations at our wedding a few years ago! Playing backgammon, going for happy hour, skiing the slopes, meeting up for lunch- these are just some of the ways I got to know my new friends and made lasting memories with awesome photos! In restaurants, bars, cafes and mountain huts I have met and made friends with people from all over the world- Russia, France, England, Australia and South Africa to name just a few!
And as a bonus, I reconnected with a childhood friend that I hadn’t seen in 12 years while in Cervinia, and we spent a lot of time together skiing and getting to know one another again! And while we still live in different countries my husband and I still consider him a treasured friend!
Ski holidays are care-free, happy, snowy fun! And its hard not to make friends while you’re out having a good time!
