I have booked Andorra but worried that the choice of the aparthotel del clos next the hotel nordic is in a very quiet spot and the walk to soldeu is not that simple would like to be able to walk out and about and sample the atmosphere/window shopping do not think this resort to do that or as beginners will we be completely shattered anyway.
Also with kids being 23/17 need some nightlife new year at 1850 looks fab outdoor disco etc..

If you are rich enough not to care about prices, then taking your kids shopping in Courchevel 1850 will be perfect.

Hi Hugh,
I've been to both Obergurgl and Courchevel and I would think the hotels are about equally expensive, but Obergurgl is nowhere near as nice as Courchevel (in my opinion).
Couldn't you find a cheaper hotel in Courchevel, or go self-catering (if you agreed to do all the housework for the week)?
I think the problem is that you picked a top hotel in a top resort during one of the peak weeks of the year, so it was bound to be extremely expensive (over £1300 per head - I checked)

Obergurgl would be a good choice. High and snow sure, Austrian and not French (trust me, it generates a far better atmosphere), varied ski area albeit a little limited, good off piste, good quality hotels.
I'd put that well above Courch personally, but thats just my opinion.

Tony,
As far as I know you haven't been to either Courchevel or Obergurgl - whereas I have been to both :D

I wonder why that was :wink:
I think the point most were making Ian was that his choice of Andorran resort would be a far cry from the winter xmas wonderland he was hoping for.
