What Skiers Say About Obergurgl-Hochgurgl

Obergurgl-Hochgurgl attracts primarily beginner to intermediate skiers and families, with several advanced skiers noting the terrain can feel limited for a full week without visiting neighbouring Sölden. The most consistent praise centres on empty, well-groomed pistes, minimal lift queues, high altitude guaranteeing snow, and high-quality hotels with spa facilities and half-board options. The Nederhütte is repeatedly mentioned as the main après destination with live music, though reviewers consistently note the resort is otherwise quiet at night with limited bars and restaurants outside hotels. Several users mention the cost is noticeably higher than other Austrian resorts, and a few snowboarders flag numerous flat linking paths as inconvenient.

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.

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.

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.

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

Great resort for families and keen skiers alike. Accomodation is great, ski lifts and transports are regular and quick, the runs were immaculate and the food and drink were excellent. Perfect for a winter getaway. Had spent Xmas in 2014 there and it got even when I came back in 2024. Cannot recommend enough.

A really warm and friendly place with plenty of routes for skiers and snowboarders of varied experience. The lifts are clean and well maintained. The snow is well groomed. The area is just wonderful. Quaint place with stunning views, amazing restaurants and a couple of shops. Well worth a visit. I love it that much, I’m coming back for the third time in March this year.

Really great week skiing and snowboarding here. I was able to do half a week of both and theres a good range of pistes which suit both.

I stayed in a hotel in obergurgl which had a ski room and lift straight up to the chair lift so super efficient and all the ski lifts had been updated since the previous time I came (10+ years ago).

It wasn't too busy because I went out of school holidays. I can imagine in peak season it could get a bit busy on the slopes.

Great apres, standard drink and food prices for European Alps skiing and fantastic apres! Would highly recommend.

It’s a nice resort with really good hotels. Had an awsome night of apres with live music and good vibes. Slopes are decent with a good variety. Yet to experience much powder or off piste there but I’m sure it does exist. Requires hotel transfer which can be expensive

Obergurgl was a lovely mountain. We were traveling as a couple (an advanced and a beginner skier). The lesson for her beginner was excellent and the slopes were great to learn on. There were also a reasonable amount of challenging slopes for the advanced skier.
