The other thing are the piste markings and sign posts, they're not great.

Nice to see that you have noticed Andy ...Most people ignore the short comings of St Anton because it is St Anton.

It doesn't matter how quiet it is at night when you take your own party with you. :-) It's a nice little resort in a superb ski area and I'd certainly return. In fact, the only reason we didn't go for a third visit last year was that the kids wanted to compare the experience of skiing in a different country.

You're quite right - Folgarida is a very quiet place. The others went out to the Eta Beta bar one night, but it hardly seemed worth it really. The bar in the Gran Baita was fine, and they had a huge lounge area for everyone to meet up after ski-ing and have a drink and a chat :)

I think the drinks were reasonably priced, both in the bar and in the restaurant at dinner.

What pee'd a lot of folks off was that they ran out of tonic, Vodka and different sizes of the bottled beer and were very slow to replace them infact the tonic was never replaced which ran out mid-week .......

Well lets hope we can do better than bronze ....... :(
