Just booked for Obergurgl on 7th Jan and was wondering if anyone had any top tips. Is it worth getting a bus to another resort for a day etc. The countdown has started. Whoop whoop.. :

Don't forget if you run out of variety in Obergurgl, you've got Hochgurgl on the doorstep. I think there's a free bus, but there's definitely a gondola link across. We loved Obergurgl last year but as timid peeps we didn't ski the half of it. Would definitely go back.

Obergurgl is a great resort, lots of snow, bags of skiing and a really lively, compact resort - why bother going anywhere else, especially when you can ski over to Hochgurgl - enjoy!

Make sure you go to the Top Mountain Star at the top of Wurmkogl II lift as the view is breathtaking. The other must-do is the afternoon apres-ski in the Nederhutte.
One of my favourite runs is Red 25 from Hochgurgl down to Pill.
A word of caution would be the Kirchenkarlift drag in Hochgurgl which is long and unpleasant - my son-in-law who is very tall suffered dreadful leg cramps once he reached the top and the rest of us were very relieved once we got off it!
The whole area is great though and everyone is very friendly. There is a ski bus and a gondola link between Obergurgl and Hochgurgl, and you might want to add a day's skiing in Solden for more skiing though.
