 Poster: A snowHead
|
Last Christmas I managed to bag myself a rather lovely week skiing in Obergurgl.
I have to say, I really loved the place: great snow, great people and no lift-queues!! My idea of heaven.
I am very tempted to go back - but as there are so many other resorts out there, I'd really like to try somewhere new.
I guess the two main considerations are:
- good snow record (I know nothing is guaranteed as early as Xmas - but may as well give myself a fighting-chance).
- lift queues
Any thoughts ... or am I best to stick with the tried and tested?

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

Why not stick with Obergurgl, we go there every Christmas despite having season's passes for Verbier. It's snow sure, quiet and a lovely spot for Christmas, leaving the rest of the winter to rip it up in Switzerland.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

If I wanted all the things you mention at Xmas, I'd be going to Obergurgl for sure.

I would second Obertauern
Been to both more than once (Obertauern most often and heading back 9th January)
Ski size and difficulty are similar though if you board there a few flatish bits in Obertauern you have to watch for
Not been to ether at Christmas to know what the queues are like but both ok at the times we have been

abj, I've stayed at Hotel Montana twice and was absolutely excellent - not cheap mind you. Sport Hotel Cresta is a cheaper alternative but still in an A1 location www.oberlech.com My favourite place in this planet, or St Anton - can never decide
