TV sports presenter Jake Humphrey has launched an app which saves time for skiers looking to enjoy ski holidays. The new app is designed to connect customers with insight provided directly by locals.
The SkiYodl app is a bible of everything you need to see, eat, drink and do while you’re in the mountains. A team of locals on the ground, from chefs to ski instructors are part of the app community to help customers get the most out of their time away.
Jake road-tested the app on holiday in Meribel last month. He booked his holiday with SkiYodl and used the app to discover where to stop on the mountain, where to dine in the evening, and what activities to do with the children.
Jake said: “the app was a real game changer for us. It makes skiing more enjoyable because it takes the stress out of finding the perfect spot for lunch or even your morning coffee! We especially loved the recommendations coming from locals, as you know each place is going to be great.
“It saved us from trawling through dated reviews and missing out on those hidden gems! We probably wouldn’t have stopped at Le Monchu without the app - this piste-side sun trap was spot on for lunch. Easy to get to, delicious food and an unbeatable atmosphere, it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
“I’ve been to Three Valleys a few times in the past and thought I knew my way round but using this app made me explore a little further and find some awesome ideas we would have simply skied past otherwise.”
SkiYodl has a community of in-resort locals across twelve ski destinations and 4,500 plus accommodation listings, offering local knowledge so that travellers don’t have to waste time and money working out what’s good and what isn’t.
Founder Oli Dannatt said: “In a world where you can book almost anything in a single tap, the ski travel market hasn’t kept up. There is a gap in the market for local, honest resort information available to live book."
