A group of us are planning a few trips next year and one of our options we are undecided between the two resorts. Anyone been to both and can suggest which is better and best places to stay etc... Many Thanks

I guess its just my own opinion, based on stuff I have read, and info I have seen on these resorts. I am sure there are people who will tell you Solden is a wonderful place, but Ischgl certainly appears to be an exciting place, with a good high ski area, although it does appear a little expensive (which is why I havent been yet!) What makes you choose between these 2 resorts anyway?

I like to do one "party, party" week with friends and a more reserved "family" week. Both these seem similar but solden seems almost 100% snowsure and also has two glasiers.

been to both. Ischgl better. Solden pretty charmless. Better variety of runs in Ischgl, you can party in either place. Getting around Solden is messy. You'll have the whole place skiied in no time.

I have to confess to being a total Ishgl-ite, my favourite resort. It does have some features that many would regard as pluses and other as minuses. The nightlight is massive - best in the Alps but can be viewed as a little tacky, this can be avoided though as there are many top quality bars. The home runs in Ischgl can get overcrowded from around 3pm. Solden is a less expensive alternative and great skiing. Both are really snow sure. Ischgl skiing starts at 1400m in the village but virtually all the skiing is from 1900m upwards so when snow reports state 30 cms on the lower runs they are talking about in the village which you will only ski on when arriving back into resort. Solden has two glaciers and is smaller (150kms) but also has Obergurgl just up the valley for a day trip. Solden also has good nightlife but not as varied as Ischgl. Hope that helps - but please feel free to ask any more if required...

No problem. A quality band The Libertines, just love the first album along with Dirty Pretty Things's album.

Lets put a contract out to kill Doherty. You might get more takers.

Doherty is a genius. It is more than a shame to waste the talent however.

Pete Doherty is very talented, the libertines were the best band to form since oasis and babyshambles are excellent. In terms of music, I fail to understand how anyone can call pete doherty a waste of space. There is no other band around at the moment that I would rather see than babyshambles who i have seen on numerous occasions and who are exceptional.

Musically gifted in terms of song writing - yes, if you like listening to his take on life of course. As a person, hes a prize dick. He is a mess, and he probably thinks its cool. I read somewhere that he wanted to die before 30 as he it make him more memorable. What a pratt. Now, I like my music, but I wouldnt go near one of his gigs, especially with his track record of not turning up or being out of his head. Theres some good stuff coming through these days which deserves a good listen. I particularly like Cajun Dance Party's album right now, and Tokyo Police Club have a proper album out at last, which is not to be avoided. I have the Libertines first 2 albums - the first is by far the best, and is as good a debut as I can remember since Oasis or The Roses before them, but I am afraid Doherty has been on self destruct since. He may just get his wish if he carries on. Oh, and according to information I have, Solden is not as good as Ischgl, but you need to be a decent skier in Ischgl, and be prepared for lots of rowdiness. I am told that Samnaum over the Swiss border is the place to stay if you want to ski Ischgl.

Cajun Dance Party, Tony, not Club. ) On thread, I hve heard that Solden too is a bit on the rowdy side (although not as bad as it was a few years back) and the mid to upper slopes can be very windy, cold and exposed. However, the season there is long and pretty snow sure, so taking the rough with the smooth...
