The ski-ing was poor, the snow was rubbish and no pisting is ever done, especially on the front runs which I had to ski first thing in the morning most days. The pistes are exceptionally busy, I had to queue once during Spanish Carnaval week!!!!!
The restaurants in town are also poor especially the Bruxelles which charges 12 Euros for a 3 course meal including steak.
The people in town, locals and instructors are not very welcoming and are never seen in the pubs in the town.
There is never any music on in any of the pubs, particularly The Harp which has no atmosphere whatsoever and is always busy for some reason.
The pubs also charge ridiculous prices for beer compared to France, and the skiing equipment is also ridiculously priced,should anyone wish to buy skis or boots.
In short, DONT go to Soldeu, you wont enjoy it!!
Stick to France, Austria, Italy et al
