Beginner Skiing in France (on a Budget) | mistakes, spa, and friendship lessons at the end!

Join me on a budget-friendly ski trip to Chamonix at the end of the season! In this video, I share the costs of a 3-day ski adventure and explain why it was worth returning for two trips in a row.

During this trip, I reunited with my lost laptop at Geneva airport, tried local dishes like Rosti and Tartiflette, and even broke a ski pole at Le Tour (which cost €50 to replace).

I also visited new mountains and took the cable car to Aiguille du Midi, where I enjoyed a nap and a meal with a stunning view.

Staying at the hostel allowed me to meet other solo female travelers and bond with my friend over our different travel styles. Despite some minor challenges, like missing buses and waiting times, this trip was a valuable opportunity to learn more about my friend and become more adaptable.

If you're considering a ski trip to Chamonix on a budget, I hope this video gives you an idea of what to expect in terms of costs and experiences. Remember, every trip is a chance to learn and grow, both on and off the slopes!
