Sölden Previsioni Neve

We went for half term so a bit busy but what resort isn’t. Firstly, this is not a resort for beginners. I would say it’s for good intermediates and up. Beginners and families would be better down the road at Obergurgl. The glacier was good but a big faff to get to. I think it took me over an hour to get there in the morning. The resort is high so the snow held up well considering this year, 2024, has not been great in places. The town is as you would expect, chocolate box it is not. Lots of bars and restaurants though to choose from. None are cheap so factor that in. On the mountain too the restaurants were very expensive. £8 ish for a soup, main meals £15 - £20. We took a packed lunch in the end, which worked well and shared two meals between three (2 x adults 1 x child) in the evenings, which was fine as portions are big. Pizza £15. Burger and chips £20. On the plus side beers were good ish value at £5 a go. It’s worth going to Obergurgl too as included in the ski pass. Plenty of buses included and only 20 mins up the road. If I went again I would go there on half board and visit Solden on a sunny day to head up to the glacier. Restaurants worth visiting were “A Cassa Da Mamma”, best Italian by far. You have to go up the funicular and walk 5 mins or so but well worth it. You will have to book too or get there early. Another place was the “liebelei food bar music” above a shop. Great Mexican food. We liked a beer in the Gizzly too. As a side note, steer clear of the escalator at the Giggijochbaan at busy times. Very dangerous, we were stuck two times in two days with people falling over and no way to stop the lift resulting in utter panic and chaos. Take the lift instead.
