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.

Great skiing, linked to hochgurl where there are a load of blue runs that my wife loved. Only down side was you have to ski a red run to get to the link over there. Apres ski was limited. Family friendly resort.

Amazing family friendly resort! Really high quality accomodation and restaurants, great slopes and high altitude so good chance of fresh powder! Apres not amazing but it’s not that type of place and you can still find it it! Expensive resort but not actually too expensive on the mountain, a special place!

Obergurgl (IMO) wasn't the best for snowboarders. The Blues were very busy and chapped by mid afternoon. The Reds were quieter but due to the mountains being in shade for the first half of the day, can be quite icy. Hochgurgl is better but just as busy. There’s a lot of tracks which you need to pass along to get onto other runs.
Best option is a 15 min bus down to Soelden, which is much larger and better for boarders. Gurgl village is nice. If you want somewhere with a chilled vibe, it’s for you. The hotel we stayed at was really nice.

Great family friendly resort and good for beginners as well, I’m new to skiing and after picking it up fairly quickly I found obergurgl extremely friendly with plenty of blue runs. Food and accommodation was also amazing

The Hochfirst hotel was one of the best we've ever stayed in and rates 5*+++. Amazing service, fabulous food and perfectly located for the slopes.

The lift system is really good in obergurgl, with virtually no queuing and high speed access.

The slopes, however, were quite busy and there are quite a few paths which get clogged up with skiers. We enjoyed the skiing, but have been to resorts that we prefer.

Overall, a really good holiday, but made that way because of the hotel and great lift system

Absolutely loved this place, was such a good variety of coloured runs meaning it was great for myself as an experienced skier and also my partner who was a beginner. There were never long ques for the lifts and the restaurants and bars up the mountain got were great for food and apres ski. They also provided night skiing which was awesome.

Excellent ski-in ski-out facilities to fast moving and extensive lifts. Quality slopes both on and off the pistes. Excellent hotel facilities including swimming pools, saunas and fantastic meals.

The resort is quite quiet, so didn't really go for the Apres Ski, but there is a bit about if you know where to look!

Getting to Hochgurgl for Obergurgl is straight-forward and takes a few minutes by bus, you can even ski Sölden on the same lift pass, which is a bonus. Sölden is a quite large ski area and if you have booked more that a week you get free entry into the 007 exhibition at the top, which is actually quite good!

The lift between Hochgurgl and Obergurgl is a bit older and stops during high winds, this only affected us twice, this just means you have to ski down to the very bottom and get the bus back, hardly an inconvenience!

The is a nice hut just up at the first lift in Obergurgl that is open late and it is an easy ski down under lights, the live band is great and the atmosphere is something to be experienced!

Overall I rate this resort a 9 out of 10, it lost 1 point because of the lift that connects to Hochgurgl and some of the runs are not pisted very well, especially on the way back into Obergurgl!

Hochgurgl in particular had quiet slopes with few queues so lots of skiing was possible. Lots of options for eating out in Obergurgl. Good range of ski runs for intermediates in this ski area with typical Austrian charm and hospitality.

Really good resort for beginners with a very good ski school and quieter slopes for blue and reds.

Apres is lacking with no later night options. It’s not a party town.

Hotels options are good with a few very luxurious option.

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 resort. Well maintained slopes and great support for begginers, with Private and group lessons available. Comfortable chalets and fantastic apres ski that's traditional but fun! People stationed around the resort just to help out - made you feel really safe.

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.
