Agree about the Schatzi, inside but good for a couple of beers at the outside bar. The Kitzloch's great. I'll be there on Saturday.

Plenty of women were lapping up (no pun intended) Schatzi. It's not all blokes.
Kitzloch was great for apres but "inexpensive"? It was more expensive than other bars including Schatzi. We were charged more for 4 beers in Kitzloch than Schatzi. Freerider bar was even more expensive. Also the Kitzloch restaurant, whist excellent ribs were served, was a lot more expensive than other restaurants.

Thought the apres in Saalbach was rather poo-poo tbh. Maybe I just couldn't find it... 
Also crap evening bars. Great ski area though. Really really good in this respect.

To be fair, we were there fairly early in the afternoon at the Schatzi, when the girls had just started dancing, then left about 5. We didn't like the music and the man/woman ratio was about 10-1!! It may well be better once it gets going but we decided not to hang around and find out.
Kitzloch isn't especially cheap but it's a great laugh!

What and what!?? Where on earth did you go? Did you miss the Hinterhag party (and the Goassstall in Hinterglemm?) and the live bands at Bobby's and the Underbar? There are loads of great bars!

Schatzi's best for sitting outside with a beer watching the end-of-day carnage on the final piste opposite before going somewhere better.

@rossyl, Ischgl

An important change, is that we need to stay in a self contained chalet for about 8-12 people. I have learnt that Saalbach-Hinterglemm does not really offer this.
So anywhere else?
Apres - like Mooserwirt
Skiing - like 3 Valleys
Costs - Like St Anton/Meribel
Would Ishgl fit the bill?
Thanks

Apart from the chalet.
In Austria the focus was and is on hotels. But there are some apartments available.
You might also reconsider St.Anton. This summer the lift towards Zürs-Lech will come. Much gentler skiing here.

@rossyl, Try homeaway.co.uk or the Tourist Office website - Saalbach.com which should bring up a few options for 8-12 people.

There are a few chalets in Ischgl, I know Ski Total operate some, although they sleep more than your party.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

@rossyl, AFAIK St Anton has the biggest range of chalets in Austria.

Ischgl's apres knocks St Anton's into a cocked hat. The connected ski area is larger too.

You are not so very well connected yourself so it appears: Lech and St.Anton are to be connected this summer.

Very true. Pistes are rubbish in St Anton. Apres almost non-existent in St Anton - just large crowds of desperate mid-aged men, hoping a woman will walk in the door. But they don't. They have all gone to Ischgl. Best to just go to Ischgl and save yourself the angst.

I'm a seasoned Ischgl fan after 4 consecutive years ,but we are considering Solden as an alternative for next years boys trip.
Will it live up to Ischgl?

@hedley, I've only been there in summer (though driven through/past several times in winter) so no comments on skiing and apes, BUT personally I find Ischgl a much more attractive village.

@hedley, I like Solden. Its not the prettiest of places but the skiing's good as is the apres. But it's not Ischgl. I've ony been to Solden once when we decided to take a break from Ischgl. Spent most of the time wishing we hadn't changed.

@clarky999, @hedley, back from the main drag and especially across the river Sölden is not too bad and is more Alpine. The road through does not get much heavy traffic to be honest, despite what people believe. The toll road over the Timmelsjoch is only open from June onwards and the width as well as the gradient and hairpins the other side makes it totally unsuitable as a "trans-Alpine" route for any but tourists!
