I have done the night run, (but it was in the dark!)
Really good videos!

Thanks. I just have to edit the rest of my Obergurgl videos and I'll post them here.

I've been to Obergurgl twice, one week last year in March and one week this year in April. Snow was still great and there were no lift queues at all. Will go back next year again. Yes food and drinks are a little fit more expensive than other Austrian resorts but it's still not expensive. The night skiing was great, we skied almost alone :-)



This was during the most "busy" hours in the slopes

That's mine reflection too, no pushing, every one stands and waits for their turn. Even the sons on the busses are polite, they say "Sorry we are out of order" and not just "Out of order"

I liked that they had so many people all over the village and mountain helping with all kind of questions and even free guided tours.

Just as Gaz C wrote St Anton is nice if you want to go off-piste otherwise there are to manu people, the pistes are crowded and a lot of people are there only for party.

I wrote about Obergurgl in another thread, a really nice village, not that many pubs/bar but they have at least a few.
The pistes are practically empty



There are two more videos in the Obergurgl thread.

Sölden is in the same valley as Obergurgl, really nice skiing and quite a lot of party in the village.

Lech/Zurs is really nice a little bit more expensive but really nice and they will connect the Lech/Zurs system with the Warth-Schröcken system.

Thanks :-)

Unfortunately the video from later that evening is too dark but I really liked the night skiing.

We did also do some night skiing, really great :)

One more video from Obergurgl

Yes Stubaier Gletcher is nice, I'v been there 4 times and have already a trip planned there for new year :-)

I liked Obergurgl, sure it's not as big as other big systems but I have no problems going the same piste a couple of times in a row if there are as few people as there.
It seems we have the same opinion about St Anton ;-)
