 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey there, just wanted peoples thoughts on the two resorts?
Have never been skiing in Obertauern and considering going this season, have been to Lech many times, just wondered if it was time for a change? Obviously both very different resorts!
Cheers!

hmm I've to both and I liked them. Much more apres going on in Obertauern, snow should be good there as well. I would go for a change, definitely.
And I would combine Obertauern with some of the resorts close by, Zauchensee is amazing.

Servus Samerberg Sue!
Sorry I should have said originally, that I'm considering spending the season in either resort. Any opinions from a seasonaires point of view? Whats the apres scene like in Lech? Also am a little concerned that the skiing in Obertauern isn't overly challenging, thats what I've read anyway...
Ciao!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

skilehrer89, forget both as bases for seasons! One will bankrupt you, the other bore you in Null komma Nix!
Go for a more central location in a big area such as Flachau, Wagrain, Schladming, Scheffau, Mayrhofen, St Anton. Even Kitz is a better option for a whole season.
Any particular reason for selecting those two extremes?

Always liked the look of Obertauern (ski in ski out etc, and heard the apres scene is good) and I have a big soft spot for Lech. I'm not overly keen on St Anton as a village but like the Arlberg ski area. Some of the areas you mention I fear as being too low. Ive been to Schladming many times and had no snow ins tal, and not much up top either!

skilehrer89, Obertauern has a great snow record and some really fun apres on slope and off - people party hard in Obertauern. Two important strong points. But it is not a big ski area, and a number of the runs are relatively short.
On top of that the town can be a little soulless - high and purpose built, pretty much strung along one long road.
I've had lots of really great long weekends in Obertauern and overall I like it a lot for that (and in low snow years it can be really useful) and imagine you could probably have a good week there, but as Samerberg Sue suggests it would probably be pushing it a bit to spend a whole season there given some of the other places available.

skilehrer89, apres in Obertauern is about as good as it gets...check out Lurzeralm!!but the runs are short, good off-piste tho. I think you would definately get bored after a few weeks.Lech is fantastic for the skiing and apres, but as has been already mentioned, pretty damn expensive.

Actually as an afterthought, why not check out Zell am See?? The skiing is really great, plenty of off-piste , and the apres is legedary...Schnapps Hanns at the top of Schmittenhöhe, or in town The Crazy Daisy or the Hexenkessel.

Thanks everyone for the info, plenty to consider indeed, still erring towards Lech tho I have to admit (I know, I know i'll need a mortgage)
Anyone out there with experience of having done a season in either Lech or Obertauern?
Von mir aah, voi Spaß heid!

You know it makes sense.

With a username like skilehrer perhaps you can give us all a free skilehrer calendar  (usually shot around Lech). If you're working in lech maybe you would get better earnings??? Could base yourself in stuben at a fraction of the price of Lech - plenty of off piste on your doorstep and halfway between St Anton and Lech.
Lech is one of my favourite places on this planet - apres ski not great though - The Burg bar in Oberlech has quite a nice vibe and the Pfefferkorn and Kron (sp?) are ok. My mate went to Obertauren at NY this year (and regularly comes with lads to St Anton and has been twice with us to Oberlech) and wasn't overly impressed with it. FYI his two favourite ski resorts are Lech and Whilstler and he goes around 6/7 ski trips a year (lucky bar steward)
