The Obergurgl-Hochgurgl ski area is located in the upper Ötztal valley in Tyrol and is one of Austria’s highest winter sports destinations. Thanks to its altitude, ranging from 1,800 to 3,030 metres, the region is particularly snow-sure – the winter season begins early (mid-November) and lasts well into spring (late April). The crisp mountain air, sweeping views and tranquil atmosphere make it an ideal destination for those seeking alpine winter sports combined with ultimate comfort and a high-alpine natural experience.
With a total of 112 kilometres of pistes and 25 modern lifts, the Gurgl ski area offers a balanced mix of beginner-friendly slopes and challenging runs for experienced skiers. All pistes are wide, expansive and perfectly groomed – ideal conditions for enjoyable, flowing turns. Approximately 54% of the slopes are easy, 30% intermediate and 13% difficult, with a further 4% offering ski routes for even more variety. This well-balanced distribution ensures that Gurgl caters equally to novices and seasoned skiers alike. In Gurgl, alpine cuisine meets the highest culinary standards. Alpine cuisine takes regional dishes and ingredients and reinterprets them with a modern twist and great attention to detail. Remarkable mountain locations, such as the Hohe Mut Alm, surrounded by 21 peaks over 3,000 metres, or the Top Mountain Star at 3,030 metres with views reaching the Dolomites, turn culinary delights into a feast for the senses. Families benefit from excellent infrastructure: ski-in/ski-out accommodation, lifts directly on the doorstep and a beginner lift ensure relaxed holiday days. The Funmountain Gurgl, the Funslope and the Familypark offer variety beyond traditional skiing. Toboggan runs and winter playgrounds provide additional leisure options off the slopes. Those seeking quality combined with a family-friendly atmosphere will feel right at home here.
