 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there
Just wanted to get thoughts on either of these resorts for a late march trip either 13th or 20th March.
We've found a fantastic deal to Saalbach but we are worried about the reliability of snow cover in Saalbach at the end of March and searching past threads on here I get the impression that Saalbach starts to wind down abit at the end of March, so we've pulled Solden into the equation too!
We are a group of good standard skiers and boarders, will ski first lift to last lift each day but we also like a good atmosphere and abit of nightlife too.
Any thoughts or advice? Cheers for now.

Solden was rubbish IMO, I would never go back. You can search my review - but it may be what you are looking for. Loads on here love it !

Thanks for the Info Tatman.
Libertine, Interesting thread, I don't think Solden is the resort we are looking for! Skiing is always the priority for us but it's also nice to stay in a resort with abit of atmosphere.
As a group we are off to Steamboat for 2 weeks at the end of January/early February but being greedy we want to get a late march trip in. We fancy a change from France so Austria has been suggested as we've enjoyed Obertauern, Kitzbuhel and St Anton in the past. We are just looking for somewhere that is relatively snow sure for the suggested period in March as we head towards spring time.
Thanks

Will77, have you thought about Ischgl? Not a cheap resort, but likely to have very good snow at that time, huge area and very undiscovered by British I think. I was skiing there second week of Easter last year and it was superb, loved it.

beanie1, Ischgl was initially where we were going to go, I've heard nothing but good things about the resort and both my brother and sister have enjoyed numerous times there. However one of my friends that has decided to come on the trip is getting married in May. So we are trying to keep the costs down so that he can afford to ski this year as well as get married..........unfortunately that rules Ischgl out for the time being!

Will77, ok fair enough! Just suggested it as you mentioned you liked Kitzbuhel and St Anton, but you're obviously wanting somewhere cheaper than them this year!

Take a look at www.simplysaalbach.com it's got loads of info about the resort. I've been to Solden and it was great skiing but there was something lacking in the atmosphere. It depends what you want, solid skiing and nothing else - go to Solden, for the whole Austrian Apres ski and entertainment, go to Saalbach!
