Sölden, Austria - March 11-19, 2016 - approximately $3,049

Sölden is the largest ski resort in the Otztal valley and its “Think big, think Sölden” slogan is applicable to both its terrain and nightlife The skiing in Sölden is split into three main areas: the Gaislachkogl area; the Giggijoch area; and the glaciers. A route publicized by the tourist office - the BIG3 Rallye - describes a way to get around all the areas in one day (the BIG3 refers to the three peaks of over 3000 meters that it is possible to visit along the way) 

For apres-ski, Sölden’s main strip is filled with buzzing bars, clubs and restaurants. The vibrant party atmosphere attracts a young, lively crowd. There's more than 80 venues to choose from. Between 3pm and 7pm the village turns into a party location with skiers gathering at the many open-air bars along the main road. Apres ski kicks-off in the mountain huts where there's live music Friday afternoons, then back in town the party continues at a whole host of bars and nightclubs.
