 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there,
5 of us are heading over to St Cristina at the start of February, we went for St Cristina as it was slightly cheaper than the neighboring Selva.
Looking online we're struggling to find much information on what sort of nightlife there is, we're not expecting a mental French style Apres but i was wandering what there is in the way of pubs/live music in the evenings, if anything?
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks

Most French "apres" is pretty downbeat - the Folies are the exception rather than the rule. It's Austria which is reckoned to be the party capital, isn't it?

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yeah, you're not going to find the full-on crazy Austrian apres you get in St Anton, Ischgl, Saalbach, Solden etc, but I think there's an apres bar at the bottom of the Saslong that is usually a bit lively mid afternoon onwards... https://maps.app.goo.gl/YYTzTDQ9VyAHRVEAA
A bit more going on up at Selva, starts on the mountain at Piz Seteur with the outdoor podium dancers twice a week... https://maps.app.goo.gl/YGvWpmvXds9nRgki6
also back on the home run into Selva at Valentini... https://maps.app.goo.gl/iqUznHwBZEYxZDhd9
as you hit the edge of the village at La Stua... https://maps.app.goo.gl/8B2zKtb7ZruNf1Jz6
You can always get a bus back down to Santa Cristina from Selva if you want to stay a bit later. I think you need a ticket beyond your liftpass now though.
Later on in the evening, it's the Luislkeller... https://maps.app.goo.gl/UyU9FWx3msv5UVax8
There are others on here who stay regularly in Val Gardena that might be able to assist more...

Second the comment about the bottom of Saslong in Cristina. I didn't stay but it looked to be a great place..... looked like a bunch of outside bars all together

Yeah, I've always known it as the Umbrella bar, it spreads out over various outbuildings with huge umbrellas covering the outside space, looks pretty lively with blazing Europop until after dark on the videos on that Google Maps link I posted

Thanks for the useful info all, sounds like there'll be plenty to keep us busy whilst we're there.

is that the pace that used to have the goat wandering around on the roof? seemed to have been replaced with solar panels

I stayed in Santa Cristina a few years back. There was nothing going on in the village itself. It was just a few drinks in the hotel bar in the evening. We walked in to Selva a couple of times to get to the shops. It took about 15mins iirc, mostly it was pavemented but, again from memory, I think there was a short section that wasn’t that meant detouring round the back of some apartments . There is a handy wine shop right at the bottom end of Selva if that is all you are going for.

The Snowbar at the bottom of the Sasslong is always busy around apres time.
