The Skiers' Guide to Obergurgl-Hochgurgl

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.

A great place for beginners that have had some experience with skiing. There aren’t may green runs here so it can be challenging if this if your first ski holiday! There are some great easy blues though.

Apres is great here with the Nederhutten in Obergurgl, a busy little place that sells great food, good drinks and the views are sublime.

Obergurgl is a pretty Austrian village with a great ski srea to explore. Great for families of all ages! A special place!

Very difficult to give totally fair review because snow conditions were so poor. Hochgurgl had better piste conditions than Obergurgl but still very icy. Would be great with better snow although not large ski areas.
Ski lifts excellent and efficient so little queuing

We stayed in Obergurgl, it was a lovely resort with plenty of lovely long red and blue runs that were a lot of fun, even as a group consisting of several experts and a beginner. We were also able to go over to Hochgurgl for a day, and the skiing over there is brilliant as well. Lovely people and lovely towns, would highly reccomend!! Apres at the Nederhutte was amazing and they have a live band every monday and thursday.

Resort was overall very good.

Some considerable distance to ski between different areas and sometimes issues with getting back when certain lifts closed due to high winds. Bus between resorts every 15 minutes was great, never too busy. Runs were quiet, even during peak hours.
Would visit again
