A bit of snow anyone?

Oberammergau is in the Bavarian Alps, less than a one hour drive from the Austrian border and Tirolian mountains.  Naturally it comes with great skiing and a good dose of snow.  When we arrived just prior to Christmas there was snow but not a heap.  That has all changed now.  

On our first snow day we escaped to a small lake town, Murnau, and explored the Schloss museum.  The train ride down the mountain was fabulous, once we had achieved the ticket purchase (not an easy feat).  Our second big snow day involved a hike through the snow to Ettal with some great beer and food to recharge our batteries.



The snowball must live!
