Poster: A snowHead
|
My wife and I have booked flights for a few days next march, we usually stop at The Roc in Soldeu but I have found a hotel called Austria which is half the price, it says it is a small walk outside the village , is it a small walk outside or a hike away and what is the hotel in general like, I dont expect a luxury hotel just as long as it warm and clean cause all day will be spent on the slopes.
cheers

It's not a 'small walk', something like 2kms if IIRC, on an often busy, dark, frequently icy mountain road. Walking into Soldeu is not IMO a sensible option.
Otherwise the Austria is a clean, comfortable budget hotel, although the first room we were offered was declined, and another more suitable room swiftly found. Decent bar with pool table/bar football, but little else in the 'hamlet' it's situated in. If nightlife is important, stop in Soldeu.
It's part way between Soldeu and Grau Roig, so if you have a car you car drive up to the often quieter Grau Roig area (the whole Grandvalira area is connected) and park for nowt (or at least you could).

Yeah, it's not just a short walk - it's in Bordes d'Envalira, and you'd want to get the ski bus - the stop is around 100m from the hotel.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

JasonW, And another thing is that the window ledges are at a 45 deg angle, so not suitable to keep the Cava on for the post ski soak in the bath. However all is not lost as the bidet can be pressed into service by filling a supermarket poly bag with snow and transfering it to the bidet, but don't do as my wife did and stop to chat at reception as the ensueing puddle is a give away
