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.

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.

Some good slopes but personally I’d love more trees…but that’s the trade off for guaranteed snow levels. Lovely hotel. Good lift system. No queues.

Especially loved the last day of ski school for our kids when they did a ski Sunday style slalom, which was timed and medals awarded.

The runs were groomed OK, but there are quite a few runs that degrade late in the afternoon.

The resort itself is compact a lot of ski shops to cater for all of your needs, and a few restaurants, typical ski resort type, some attached to other hotels some not, there is even a Spa shop for those self catering.

Over all a manufactured ski resort, with a bit to do, we were there for two weeks and to avoid getting bored we went to Sölden (free bus and lifts are included on you ski pass) for a number of days, al lot bigger and some wider runs.

As we went for two weeks we got free entry to the 007 exhibition!

Have been to this restaurant so many times. Was the place where I learnt to ski, attended the ski school a lot. Really enjoyed it including, having the opportunity to go out for lunch and lots of hot chocolate breaks! Lovely runs and good lifts

If your looking for groomed quiet pistes to ride then this is the place for you. We'll connected with hochgurgl and lifts are usually without any ques. The area is simply stunning. It is more expensive than neighbouring Solden but that reflects in the quality of the terrain. Lots of bars and restaurants on the mountains all with lively atmosphere. In the town there are lovely outdoor bars.. then as the night unwinds the hotel bars are warm, comfortable and relaxing. If you want more energy in the night solden is a short bus ride away and the ski bus is regular. We absolutely love this place! We even had our wedding here up at Alm Mutt on the top of the mountain!! Stunning!!

One of my favourite ski resorts. Beautiful setting at top of valley. Not large but of varied standard. Easy transfer to Hochgorgl. Good piste side cafes. Option of free day at Solden on ticket. Great hotels and hotel restaurants. Easy access from Innsbruck Airport.

Obergurgl is a lovely quiet resort with high end hotels with Spa facilities. Lovely mountain restaurants and virtually queue free. Its quite a small area unless you venture off piste. Free short bus ride to Solden which is included on the pass.

Everything about Obergurgl is amazing . Its probably a bit more expensive than other ski resorts but you get what you pay for ! Stayed I a few different hotels and all have been exceptional.
Everyone in the resort work really hard to keep the slopes and the village pristine.
If you havent been before please give it a visit.

Stayed at Hotel Sportiv, very nice, good food, use of sisters hotels spa facilities accessed by tunnel. Hotel just feet away from lift.
Limited for easy slopes but lots for intermediates. Lift across to Hochgurgle again more expert runs but also a huge bowl where you can ski your own route down. Great fun. Wish we had tried Hochgurgle earlier rather than just last 2 days. Obergurgl is quite compact but was more than adequate for us. Really enjoyed our week there. Having great snow helped of course.
