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.

Obergurgl is a great resort for beginners and intermediate skiers . The lift system is excellent , it is a relatively quiet resort but has good apres especially the nederhutte with live music 3 nights a week .Ice-berg bar & fasslbar in town . We stayed at the excellently friendly run Haus Gurgl hotel 4star , on half board , couldn’t have asked for anything better ski in & out . Bus stop outside the door for solden. First time skiing in 20+ years , pistes were in excellent condition hardly and queues for the lifts .

obergurgl was excellent, it had something for everyone. the runs had fabulous snow and were groomed every morning. the lifts were super efficient and were very high quality. the food on the mountain to ski in/out of was so good, we went almost every day and they had a huge range of different options on the menu. Accommodation round about was perfect, the one we stayed at had a heated ski depot and you could ski in/out straight from the hotel door, a gondola right at the doorstep!! overall our experience was amazing, i’d highly recommend!

As you can ski in both resorts it's perfect for all levels of skiers and snowboarders. We went when there was not much snow, however they still managed to keep most of the runs open. So, it's great for guaranteed skiing.

Great ski resort, easy access to the full mountain making it easy to meet up with friends anywhere. Some of the best mountain restaurants I’ve been at. Great piste variety. Close proximity to Sölden for another excellent resort.

Resort just 1.5hr transfer from innsbruck. 20 minutes from Sölden. Amazing groomed piste with plenty of off piste when snow is good. Friendly small village with really good accommodation and ski schools. Also night skiing once a week from 6:30pm to 9pm and plenty of live music in the apres bar.

Have been to this resort a number of times and love the feel of the place. Traditional and friendly would be the main themes for me.
Plenty of great lunch and drink options on the mountain.
It’s not a party place, but the Nederhutte provides excellent apres a few nights a week.
I am an intermediate skier and there are plenty of lovely runs. Not sure I would like to be a total beginner here as some of the link runs are a little trickier.
Overall a wonderful holiday!

Obergurgl and Hochgurgl are basically two resorts in one, where you can either get the bus between them or a lift which allows you to get a great view of the valley. Your lift pass also allows you to go to Solden. Obergurgl and Hochgurgl have the best of both worlds for skiing, with hard and easy slopes. The resort is high up so the snow is always the best! There’s also fantastic apres ski, for example live music at the Nederhutte in Obergurgl. But for me the best place to go is the Star at the top of Hochgurgl, which provides you with the best views!

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.
