We are headed to one of the world's best skiing and party resorts Solden, Austria! You can easily ski all day and party all night! This will be our 13th annual Ski & See Europe! Nothing can prepare you for the experience of spending a week in a resort like Solden, Austria. The beauty and charm of the village, incredible skiing for all levels and mind-blowing partying (après ski) undoubtedly will surpass anything you have ever seen in North America! You don’t need to be a great skier to have a great time on this amazing vacation. There are always many fun-loving people in our group that barely even touch the snow and still return year after year to party and sightsee with the group.
The Austrian village of Solden is one of the most vibrant resorts in the world. It absolutely starts buzzing around 3:30pm with happy hour(après ski). You literally will see skiers partying in their ski clothes and dancing in their ski boots! We assure you that we have never seen anything like it in the U.S. Europeans simply know how to have a good time and will be happy to teach you!
So you get the idea that Solden has great partying and the village is amazingly beautiful. What about the skiing you ask? Well, Whether this is your first time skiing or you seek out the toughest powder runs down the mountain you will be well taken care of in Solden. It literally has something for everyone! Solden is one of the highest resorts in Austria and is one of the most snow-assured in Europe. The ski area is enormous with over 220 km (Aspen only has 150 km) of skiing that appeals to all levels of skier.
The weather is very mild in Austria compared to North America at the same time of year. Don't compare the weather we have in the States in late January, because it it will likely be comparable to early spring skiing here in the States. Expect to see the sun a bunch and the temperature to be in the 30’s.
The group of people we attract is one of the major differences that set this vacation apart from all other vacations you may take. Traveling to Europe’s top ski resorts can always be fun, but being able to ski and party with a great group of people is what really makes this trip a cut above others you might have taken. Our group is always an extremely friendly, social and lively group that adds to the experience of each others European vacation!
This is not a cliquey group so don’t be concerned if you are traveling alone since 25% of the group is doing the same. The level of skiing runs the gamut from total beginner to expert skier, so you can always find some ski buddies no matter what your level!
Saturday, January 31 - Tuesday, February 3
You will have the opportunity to extend your vacation to Istanbul for three amazing days of sight-seeing! Istanbul truly is one of the world’s most beautiful and amazing cities and offers breathtaking old world grandeur and a thriving cultural life.
Situated on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the city offers you two thousand years of history and incredible architecture and pairs it up with great food, nightlife and fascinating culture and a mild climate. The average temperature in Istanbul this time of year is 50 degrees which will feel like a heat wave compared to Chicago that time of year!
You will have ample time to visit everything that Istanbul has to offer. We highly recommend taking this extension!
