<p>It might offer a taste of the skiing in Europe and beautiful scenery. The famous village of Oberammergau is in the area. <a href=“http://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g187301-Oberammergau_Upper_Bavaria_Bavaria-Vacations.html”>http://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g187301-Oberammergau_Upper_Bavaria_Bavaria-Vacations.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The biggest issue might be with the timing of the vacation as the mountains might make finding lodging around Christmas more difficult than in the bigger cities. </p>

<p>In the end, it might come to a choice between the amazing and the super attractive! </p>
