Snowboard holiday in Austria

Carnmore

I'm interested in going to Sölden in Austria on 26th December until new year as a solo traveller and novice snowboarder.

Has anyone been there? Is it possible to do it on a budget, at that time of year?

Thanks in advance

Have been quoted for a package as follows:

7 nights in the 3* Parkhotel Sölden
€ 1215 (flights, 10kg hand luggage, 20 kg bag, accommodation with breakfast and resort fees included)
€ 124 train ticket
€ 285 lift pass (approx)
€ 160 equipment hire (approx)
€ 140 Board school (approx)

About €1925 in total.

Does anyone think it could be done for less?

New year's "week" is prob the most expensive week of the season to go boarding. I don't know if you will get much cheaper in solden as the hotels flights etc rocket the prices for the week that is in it.

For the time of year and as a solo traveller it's not a bad price plus if its a slow start to the season you have an advantage over lower Austrian resorts.

Sorry for bumping the thread, but I'm going to visit austria in February and currently I'm looking for useful tips on how to save money. So, any updates and advice are appreciated.
