I've visited Obergurgl 3 times and have had some of the best early and mid season ski conditions. It is a high altitude resort so takes a day or two to get used to skiing. I ski on my own and the area has plenty of wide open ski areas which are well linked and can always ski back to the village. There are a few challenging runs as well. There is a good selection of catering on the slopes with the hotels in Hochgurgl being my favourite lunch stops. The SKIHÜTTE KIRCHENKAR above Hochgurgl is my favourite mid morning and afternoon stop. Always had sunshine in Obergurgl but it can be very cold because of the altitude. Obergrugl and Hochgurgl are quite expensive resorts.

Fantastic family friendly resort with an amazing ski school, guaranteed decent snow due to the altitude, a great combination of runs for all abilities and due to the limited accommodation, never gets excessively busy.
