Obergurgl-Hochgurgl Reviews & Ratings

Stayed at Bergkristall in Obergurgl. Great place. Very close to the lifts and you could ski in.
Obergurgl is a dream spot for beginners. Wide blue slopes. Will return!

We had a fantastic holiday here. We stayed in a ski out ski in hotel which was great. We didn't have to queue once for a lift. As a beginner I found the top of run 6 and 6a quite sticky at the start of the week so if your not that confident I'd ski down from the Mit-Station till you've found your ski legs. Run down from the James Bond lair in Hochgurgl was awesome.

Most of the runs in this resort are nice and wide and well groomed.

In Obergurl there isn't much choice for eating out or apres. The Nederhuette is the place to go and it's awesome. If you've had a little too much schnapps to make it down on your skis or board back to the village they will take you down on a ski-doo.

It was a very poor snow year for the region on my group's first Austrian ski trip. We had an all-inclusive week in Obergurgl, and skiied both Obergurgl and Hochgurgl. Despite the lack of fresh and the limited snow base excellent grooming and sufficient snowmaking meant the virtually the whole area was open.

It's a smaller resort, and most of our mixed-ability group skiied the entire area in a week, even with a rest day. As you'd expect the villages ate also small and quiet, but Obergurgl has a few good bars and the Nederhütte is every bit as good as its legend suggests.

The terrain isn't that challenging, so advanced-expert riders will find it a little tame. I didn't try to get off piste much, with the state of the snow, but a guide for a day or two might be a good investment if you find you've skiing everything by midweek.

There is night skiing twice a week and it was some of the best after-dark snowsports I've done in Europe, with good lighting and full runs open.

Staff and locals were friendly and we'd all like to return and experience the place with some decent snow.

Have been to this resort about 10 times. I stared skiing here so been through ski school, highly recommend, they would take you out for lunch. Slopes are lovely and wide for beginners

Skiing was exceptional while we were there and we were blessed with great weather. The trails are well groomed and not too crowded. Uphill capacity keeps lift queues short and we never had to wait long to get back up the mountain. Friendly staff wherever you go. All around one if the best holidays I've had in years.

The resort is fantastic and the lift system is fantastic hotel belview has a great ourdoor heated swiming pool. The ski resturants have fantastic food and live music

one of the best places i’ve skied, been 3 times as it’s such a fab resort! good for both families or friends!

This resort has an excellent lift service. It has a small ski area but enough to keep you busy. Most hotels have easy access to the slopes.

My favourite ski resort, everyone is so friendly. Definitely more for families as opposed to a big apres ski holiday but apres is still so much fun

Poor snow didnt help resort. Icy and busy.good mountain restaurants. Reasonably priced. Good connecting lifts and buses

general level of skiers really high and not too crowded. amazing apres that’s not too crazy and friendly people

First time in Obergurgl. Very short lift queues in mid Jan, and whilst no fresh snow, the pistes were beautifully pisted daily. Not a vast area unless you venture to solden, but had a great week. It’s a slightly more expensive and refined resort than others I’ve been to in Austria, but that made it very relaxing and easy to just go skiing.

Wonderful resort
Well groomed pistes
Efficient lift system
Fabulous hotel
Friendly staff
Would return with family

Great resort if you like quiet slopes. There is a great variety of runs and if you get bored you can hop on a bus and head to Solden, 25 minutes.
The resort is quiet at night so won’t suit everyone and other than the hotels the opportunity to eat is limited.
There’s a bar on the slopes offering excellent apres ski , the Nederhut. The resort is high so snow is virtually guaranteed.
As a whole it’s an excellent resort for those looking for a winter escape.

Obergurgl this January was absolutely fantastic! The slopes are wonderfully quiet, and the scenery is breathtaking. The lift pass, which even includes the ski bus to Sölden, is incredible, giving you access to so many kilometers of skiing. There were also some lovely winter hiking trails for non-skiers/non-snowboarders or anyone who fancied trying something different, and many of these led to restaurants or cafes. Highly recommend!

Nice powder, a good quiet ski resort. Fun skiing but a bit small for a week, it was good to go down to solden for a few days.
Very few restaurants in the town not in a hotel.

We love this resorts, great for skiers and boarders. Super family friendly, with a great ski school and a brilliant selection of restaurants on the mountains. Good for none skiers too as there's plenty of cable cars to ride.
Make sure to visit the Neauderhutte for apre ski.

I enjoyed snowboarding and there are plenty or runs as it’s easy to get to Solden.
Nice atmosphere in the bars

This is a fairly quiet resort, not great for Après-ski, though there are a few bars about.

The pisteing of the slopes can be a bit hit and miss, mainly skiable.

Obergurgl and Hochgurgl are connected by lifts and a bus. You can even get the bus over to Sölden a much larger ski area, where there are easy reds and blues.

A ski pass longer than a week also gets you free entry into the 007 exhibition, that is worth it!

A totally enjoyable ski area!

We had a great week’s snowboarding in Obergurgl-Hochgurgl. The snow was good, initially powder and then sticky snow later in the week. Well groomed pistes, very quiet and no lift queues. Also easy access to Solden with fantastic glacier slopes.

A good choice of high quality accommodation options in the resort but definitely on the expensive side.
