Where in Austria????

Thanks Ally! I am doing good now but get very tired. It is important for me to be part of the holiday -even if I am stuck in my room! I really like the sound of Obergurgl but does it get a bit nippy in winter? Does it make more sense to go there say early March instead? I have persuaded my husband that skiing is a brilliant idea and I want to strike when the irons hot! I think they call it henpecked!

Nightlife? You'll have to remind me what that is! I am fast asleep by 8pm!!!!

Hi Sued, Ally is off skiing, lucky thing. Obergurgl will be fine right into the end of April as it is one of the highest resorts in Austria and hence has a long season. If your having a bad day you can relax in one of the nice hotel's and if you fancy a ski you can get off the main lift at the first stop and have a nice longish blue run down to the lift. Hope this helps. :wink:

Thanks Alistair. I have had a look at the piste map and like the way the gondola links the two resorts. I will hopefully be able to ski, but doing 4hour ski school as I used to, well it is not happening! I just want to cover all bases so if I am well, then good, but likewise if I am poorly, I can still satisfy this mad ski craze within! Do you have firsthand experience of the resort- I am wondering which would be the easiest hotel for me to stay in?

Sued,

It will be our third time this December. The best Hotels are within easy reach of the lifts. Have a look on the the website and make your choice. They are all very good being Austrian. http://obergurgl.com

I'm sure you will find a nice one to suit your needs :wink:
