It really is a different world.

You know those nursery 'slopes' that strike fear into the heart of beginners?! Well. Not so scary now, eh?!

It's the Hohe Salve in the background that is scaring me. I've not yet picked which autumn marathon to run, and despite it hurting a lot, and the other half probably not being up for the idea again... I wouldn't mind running the Tour De Triol again at some point.

Oooh Robinph, you're one of those crazy people?! Aaahh g'wan, DO IT! Check out the new Polven trail too :-)

The only thing that's missing is Julie Andrews.

Any chance you can waltz your way across, arms outstretched, Fanny?

Recommendation please!

Group of us, all late 20s, thinking of trying Soll this year. Have been to Mayrhofen last two years, St Anton two before.

Want either a chalet or hotel half board. Want to book through Crystal at the moment because they're doing 2 for 1 lift passes. From the Crystal site at the moment its , Ferienhotel Fuchs, Hotel Austria, Hotel Mödlinger or around that price range.

Do you've any experience in these hotels.

Im sure it could work out cheaper to sort it ourselves, but as someone who struggles to get people to even book packages, I'm not bothered trying to organise more that that!

AlternateID · 18-07-2014 7:19pm

Wow I've actually stayed in all 3.

Fuchs and Modlinger are both a bit of a walk from the village centre and a long way from the gondola but both have a bus stop. I prefer the walk anyway. Modlinger has a fondu night that I really didn't appreciate. I have a big appetite when snowboarding.

I've stayed in hotel austria twice. I find most hotels in Austria are all similar. Food, accommodation and so on. Hotel austria is central to the village giving it a big advantage over the other 2. It's right beside the church but after the first night you won't notice the bells.

I like Soll. Would happily go back.

fannymagee · 18-07-2014 7:27pm

Yes I'd second the Austria. Shows all the matches in the bar if you're there during rugby season, and really central to bars, restaurants, Spar etc. Pretty much a no-brainer. DO IT! :-)

fannymagee · 18-07-2014 9:39pm

The ghost tree- can you see the little girl? Well she's not there ;-)

Hey mate, I'd avoid Soll if you been to mayrhofen and st. Anton. The skiing in Soll will be nowhere near as good as those resorts. Have you tried France? I was in Val d' Isere last season and loved it. Great skiing and great après. Mostly catered chalets so would be ideal. Try highlife.ie they'd have good deals for jan and the resort is generally a bit quieter too so no queues.

Ohhhhhhh!!!!!!!,go to France,skiing may be better,slightly but hope u have very deep pockets.veryvexpensive in comparison to Austria and the après,well everyone and his mother knows the Austrian après is legendary

karl83 · 19-07-2014 9:33am

I won't disagree with you there, but Soll isn't the best of places in fairness.. Love mayrhofen and st.anton.

fannymagee · 19-07-2014 4:50pm

Ooh great points there guys!

Thanks for the reminder, because it's absolutely true. Soll is pretty much ZERO fun for skiwa*kers :-)

(PS The asterisk stands for an L)

CardinalJ · 20-07-2014 12:08am

Hi All,

Yea tbh the apres ski in Austria generally better than most in my experience.

I'm stuck with a few people who don't want to go back to Mayrhofen because they've been there before. I'd happily go back but trying to be diplomatic. Huge Mayrhofen fan, also really enjoyed St Anton but it's v pricey and hard to get everyone into, can book out very fast.

I'm mostly in Ireland during the summer Steveirl! Well, over and back. And most if my work is consultation based so Skype is my best friend. It's the way forward!

Nice lifestyle, Fanny. I own a website, as well as working a full-time job. I'd love to give up the full-time job and work on the website from some ski resort, however at present the income from the site would really only allow me live in somewhere like Bankso, Bulgaria - which I'd imagine I'd be bored of after a few days. Some day maybe!
