While many skiers will choose a winter break focussed predominantly around the piste facilities, others will also factor in the après ski opportunities that are part of their chosen resort. For many, the après ski facilities are almost as important as the skiing itself, giving them a perfect environment to relax after a day on the slopes, socialising, making friends and enjoying the atmosphere. The après ski scene depends largely on the resort you choose, with some offering a relative tranquillity compared with others that pride themselves on their lively resort. As far as a Soldeu ski holiday is concerned, you have the best of both worlds.

However, we were pleasantly surprised that our hotel room was quite quiet and we were able to get the rest we needed. The first day we went to the Empire State building at night and...
