I had a fab time in St Anton a couple of years ago. Chose not to go this year because 1. My OH needs to make a bit more progress first 2. Financial reasons 3. Friends really fancied Soldeu.

Have you been there before? I hope that isn't a silly question!

Nope. First time in St Anton for all 8 of us going for my wifes 40th.
Have been to Austria a number of times though, and was in Verbier in March/April this year, so kind of ready for what to expect!
Everyone I know swears by the place.

Hi All,(newbie to j2ski here!)

Can't wait - me and my other half will be in Soldeu for New Year also. We're staying at Hotel Soldeu Maistre - not stayed there before so fingers crossed it will be ok!

One skier, one boarder so hope he doesn't get stuck on the flat bits!

:-)

Oh my god, you're not stopping there, are you?
:shock:

Ha ha, Can't be that bad! ...can it?

Who cares what the hotel is like...IMO it's just a place to sleep. The fun is to be had on the slopes and in the bars. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Clare, when we went to Bulgaria last year 'it' and the hotel were the pits! But it did not stp us having fun. We arranged a meet with other's (through a chat forum) and it was great. We ended up keeping in touch with another family and we are all going to Soldeu together this year. Perhaps we could do something similar this year. Our friends are arriving the day before us so they're mission is to find the best bar in town.

Hope to meet you there!

Very true and at least it's close to the Gondola.

Meeting up sounds like a good plan, we arrive on the 28th.

Re: Finding the best bars - I have been to Soldeu before but it was about 10 years and really can't remember. We did frequent most of the bars in town which is probably why I can't remember now!

I do remember that there were lockers available in the gondola station itself so you didn't have to trek anywhere with your gear, do you know if this is still the case?

Will keep in touch

Clare

I have read somewhere recently that there are ski lockers by the gondola. I think it was a thread on a forum and I think they were discussing how much it cost's. i'll try to remember where I saw it.

Thread on lockers at soldeuonline.com - chit chat. Apparently they are 12 euro's a day.
