 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Guys.
I heard a rumor on a previous thread that there are storage lockers at the bottom of the gondola in soldeu.
Cant seem to find the post but can definatly remember it.
Anyway.. Does anybody know if this is true and if so, are they for public use, or just for people staying in the hotel by the lift.
Cheers.

freebie, they are at the base station and well worth using - I have used them twice before. Get there as early as you can on the Sunday you arrive to book your space. If you are staying close by make sure your Hotel / accomodation does not have ski lockers ! They are on the same floor as the Irish Bar and one above the Gondola station.

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

freebie,
As Paul said they are on the street level just a bit further in than the ski gear shop. They are run by an American called Marvin. However if you are staying in the Sport or Sport Village hotel you are entitled to a free place in a locker, usually under the Sport Village. Otherwise it is €10 per day but it will take up to 5 pairs of skis & boots (if you push hard on the door) Where are you staying? I'll be up there on Sat to Tues and perhaps back Thurs.
BTW it is dumping snow just now

Im staying in the Hotel val ski, which I understand is a about 1000m out of the town. Wasn't my ideal choice but it was all that's availiable.
Not going until the start of march.

I think it's half way between soldeu and el tarter - it's quite possible that the hotel will run courtesy buses in which case you won;t have to walk up in trainers, although itmay hamper apres ski
they also used to have lockers at the top of the soldeu gondola

Yeah they do run a free bus service, but its only once at 9am and once at 5pm which is a bit restrictive. Plus I do like my lie in's.

There are also lockers at the top and bottom of the El Tarter lifts, freebie. You might find that they are slightly closer

I have stayed at the Val Ski and found it to be a pleasant surprise for the price. Its clean enough, food was fantastic only disadvantage is that it is a good 2k walk from the slope but hey that’s what the bus is for. One warning, do not book a taxi from the hotel. Resort to hotel =4 Euro , Hotel to Resort = 25 euro as they charge from the capital if you are not careful. The Aspen bar was my favorite nite spot though the one closest to the slope (Ice bar I think) is great at 5 for happy hour! Well worth the locker, something like 50 euro for the week, its no more than 10 quid each between 4!

Am I right in saying that the bus only runs twice a day?? Thats a bit of a pain if you miss it.

I haven't been there since Jan 2002, but then there were regular (about 2 an hour) free busses up and down the road between Soldeau and El-Tarter. They run to about 6:30pm if I remember rightly. After that it was a matter of hailing a lift or getting a taxi.

The busses were quite regular from what i remember, there is a free one which comes every half hour or so and another one which charges something really low like 80cents. the minibus service which you could book at reception anytime between 8 and 10 was a small people carrier, could get 6 in with equip at a push!
