Hi, I'm new to this forum, I hope someone could shed some light on crystal ski strategy. I have been monitoring crystals ski holidays for price changes for the week before Xmas to Obergurgl, yesterday there was 15 available holidays, however when I searched today there was no availability, my question is could they have really sold out within a day; it seems unlikely? Thank you

WynWill, it's all about flight seats. Once they've gone they pull hotels etc. So Obergurgl isn't full but the plane that would take you there probably is.
As far as I know easyJet start flying into Innsbruck by then so why not just DIY it. There's no way the hotels will be full and you can book them direct.

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

Hi, WynWill, it may be that the flights are now full. Holiday operators advertise all their accommodation as available but for the same flight so it may seem as if there are a number of holidays when there are only a few seats. I used to let a property to a tour operator which would say it was sold out once the flights were full. Very frustrating and hence its no longer with them. Hope you have luck elsewhere

Bode Swiller's typing speeds are quite remarkable. In a play-off with another well-known typist (Bode Miller) he typed at twice the speed, without hitting a gate.
I agree with him that skiing is often best self-organised. Transfer links between airports and resorts are often excellent (that said, don't know about Obergurgl - their website probably gives details, or an email to the tourist office would likely get useful info).
Am I first with that incredibly useful information?

www.tirol-taxi.at are quoting 69 Euro each way per person or you can have a private taxi for 342 Euros in total.

If you're looking for a hotel in Obergurgl I'd recommend the Jenwein. Nice people, really good food and great location, right next to the main gondola and chair.
