Poster: A snowHead
|
we like small austrian type villages with decent size ski areas (eg: just back from lanersbach. fantastic trip) we like to push the sking but also like our few beers in the evening. we are all 40+ so not bothered about tecno music clubs but would like 2-3 half decent pubs with some bit of life.
all the searches I have done seem to suggest its just the 1 bar called eta beta with a few hotel bars which are just not the same.
so, anyone been lately? not asking for much as lanersbach only had 3 pubs +1 disco and we made our own fun.

I went to Folgarida last year, Feb half term 2010 with my family. There is indeed only one bar plus the hotels. It's not the best bar. Our hotel was quirky and friendly, serving good food and the lounge was relaxed and friendly too, so we had a nice tiime there. A crowd of 40 something's is going to exhaust the social scene very quickly. More to the point, my wife and I are modest skiers only, but could ski the entire resort every day. You can access the larger resort of Madonna but only via a clogged single route with whacking great queues. The skiing was very pretty. We had a lovely holiday but I doubt that we will go again - not enough runs.

Folgarida 1300 does have one bar - as mentioned, the Eta Beta. Which I quite liked, on more than a few lively occasions - like most places its what you make it IMO. The Camineto hotel has (or had) a downstairs bar which was separate from the rest of the place and not too bad from memory.
Depending on who you're staying there with, perhaps your operator or hotel provides a minibus service. 20 minutes to Madonna by road and back after 3 hours was €15 for us. No shortage of places to party there if you fancy a change. It's Italy - most places liven up after about 10pm.
I think there are a few bars in Folgarida 1400, but didn't go there - it's a good 30 minute hike if you don't get a bus.

Yep. I was there today ?
If you're looking for a pub crawl, don't come as you'll be disappointed.
Mind you I managed to go out most nights
The evening ents round tend to be later than most British tourists are used to. Italians don't go out till late. If you go out at say 9pm and then home again around 11pm you'll not find much in the way of crowds, but go out at 11pm and you get the full Italian effect. Me and crowd meet up most nights around 11 so you're welcome to join us if you’re up for it. Send me a PM with your details.

You can access the larger resort of Madonna but only via a clogged single route with whacking great queues
This wasn't what I experienced. There are two chairs where the ski areas meet. One heading into each area. I found both to be almost deserted. Depends on the week you go I guess.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Funny, I've been twice now and not queued in either one direction or the other, either.
