Obergurgl sits at a height of 1931m in the picturesque Ötz Valley and it forms part of the Gurgl/Hochgurgl ski area. This traditional Tyrolean village boasts an excellent snow record, where the pistes are largely uncrowded and the lifts virtually queue free.

Beginners will love skiing in Obergurgl, with its plentiful supply of confidence building blues. The more challenging pistes on the Festkogl and Gaisberg, perfect for the intermediate skier, lead right back to the village. Höhe Mut with its bump runs, Festkogl with its steep fresh powder slopes, Wurmkogl with its nail biting black runs will keep the thrill seeking advanced skier happy. Then there are also lots of off-piste opportunities in Sattel and Königstal.

The Obergurgl/Hochgurgl area is a snowboarder’s paradise. Starters can practice on the wide open, quiet slopes, while the old hands can go off-piste on a variety of available trails.

Nightlife on an Obergurgl ski holiday is fairly low-key. It mostly centres around the larger hotels and a smattering of bars, though there is a local disco where the die-hards can dance till late. There are a number of excellent restaurants to tease the palette and prices are fairly competitive too.

As on any ski holiday, the off-slope activities are an important part of the winter experience and no less so in Obergurgl. Here ice skating, curling, night skiing and ski away days can all be arranged.

Obergurgl is popular with skiers of every level, many of whom return year after year, such is the draw of this pretty resort.
