 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking around on tinternet and there are some good deals to be had in January.
Fancy somewhere new.
Have not been to Soll or Selva and there are some good cheap trips to both of these.
Myself and mate are fairly easy to please but we do go for the skiing rather than apres ski. Ski mainly red (French) and a little bit of down through the trees, would these resorts satisfy this need.
Grateful for some opinions.
 Cheers

scotabroad, I've done both, I'm sure you would like them, both scenic, nice huts, large areas to explore but quite a few more blues and short runs in comparison to the large French resorts.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

scotabroad, Having skied both, Soll once and the Dolomites many times my steer would be Selva. If you like reds you can cruise for miles and miles on and around the Sella Ronda on blue/red combos.
Scenery is fantastic - the best in the Alps IMHO
If I could go in January I would be there or close to it ( Arabba probably ).
Cheers

CP, I would lean twd Selva too, nothing quite like the 'travelling on skis' feeling as you traverse from village to village without taking the same lift or skiing the same piste twice, I'm putting my money where my mouth is, I'm off to the Sella Ronda (Canazei) at the end of next week. Loads of snow so far this season too.

Been to Soll in March 2005 and had a great time. Off to Selva in 3.5 weeks. Conditions look incredible

stortfordhal, nice pics, you had brilliant snow conditions, which can occasionally be the only disappointment for this area, but not this year so far!

We arrive just as you're leaving! Have you been to Canazei before? Where are you staying?

scotabroad, While Soll and the SkiWelt are great skiing areas the runs do tend to be on the easy side and so perhaps you might not find that much to trouble you. IT is also looking like a vintage year in the Dollys so I would agree with others that Selva might be the choice

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Only when wandering off of the Sella Ronda. Chalet Traviata.

Though Söll and the Hohe Salve is my home area and I love it, the Dolomites are on a somewhat larger scale. More dramatic scenery, circuit probably a bit longer (though it takes pretty well a whole day to ski round the Höhe Salve too - even longer now that you can get across to Westendorf with a lift). From Söll you could also ski places like Kitzbühel, if you pay for the (more expensive) Kitzbüheler Alpen ticket: 6 days €204 (Skiwelt €181,50) but that would also mean depending on transport, buses/taxis if you haven't your own (you could get across on skis with the new Westendorf Skiwelt gondola and only a short bus ride, but the crossing would take so much time itself that you wouldn't then have that much time on the Kitzbühel slopes).
You can have a great time in both places. I would probably plump for Selva, given the choice, but then I ski Söll regularly anyhow

You know it makes sense.

Skiid Soll last Jan and Sella Ronda last Feb. Providing snow is good and it is you would enjoy both. Having said that the scenery in Dolomites on a sunny day is second to nothing. Personal choice.

Been to dolomites, loved it. The scenery is amazing, you never really believe what it says it in brochures but it really is beautiful. Excellent food on mountains, good value too. Off to Soll next week, I'm told the nightlife is great and the skiing is of a similar level to Selva. Both resorts will be alot easier than the resorts in France, but cheaper too.

Selva has brilliant snow at present and fantastic scenery always. Soell has great nightlife and is fun. Selva would swing it for me due to the vast area and some harder slopes around Arraba.
