Chalet Ruth

The Pension Garni Ruth in Solden is all about its location. Situated in the heart of this lively resort yet set back away from the main high street - everything is on your doorstep. The Talstation Zentrum Shuttle funicular which accesses the Schlepplift is less than 50 metres walk from the Chalet Ruth and the Gaislachkogl gondola station is 400 metres from the chalet (this lift accesses the main ski area all the way up to over 3,000 metres). Alternatively the free bus service will take you to the main Giggijoch gondola station at the other end of the main street.

The chalet which is a former B&B pension hotel has 15 bedrooms, all with en-suite shower and wc. The rooms and shower rooms are rather plainly decorated but are functional at least. There is a large dining room and 4 members of staff to look after you during your stay. The separate bar and TV room on the first floor provide a further socialising space.

NB: This chalet is operated by a Dutch tour operator, who have been in the catered ski chalet business since 1977, operating 37 ski chalets in France, Austria and Italy.

The main difference between a 'normal' British-run chalet, which you will be familiar with, and the Dutch product is that afternoon tea and cakes are not included. However, house wine, beers, soft drinks, and tea and coffee are available and are included in the cost of your holiday.

Breakfasts will be continental in style with cheese, hams and bread, yogurt and fruit juices, tea and coffee.

Below are examples of typical evening dinners:

Starter: Basil bruschetta with fresh tomato and mozzarella.
Main: Meat loaf with roasted onions, mushrooms and tomatoes, pomme gratin, salad with red onion, cucumber, feta and olives.

Or
