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.

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.

Obergurgl -Hochgurgl is a great resort for a quieter or family ski break, with the added advantage of a frequent ski bus to Solden for fantastic glacier skiing.

The Nederhutte has good apres-ski parties and a couple of the bars in town also do but generally the resort is quite quiet and laid back. Good skiing and boarding for beginners and intermediates but not a huge amount for more advanced riders.

The ski school is very good, particularly for private lessons.

We spent a lot of time at the Naderhut(?) great place for apres ski especially the fact you can ski down at night to where we stayed!! Got the bus to Solden for the day and thats also a great resort, so lots to choose from. Good lift experiences, lots of fun parks for a laugh. Easy and challenging runs for everyone!

Our favourite resort as a couple. It is not the biggest but the highest in the Otz valley. Very nice long runs for beginners and intermediate skiers. More challenging runs in the Hochgürgl part. One drawback is very few wooded pistes. For even more slopes, you can get a skipass option to include Sölden which is 20 minutes away on the free ski bus.4-* hotels with half-board offer great value for money compared to many other places. Apres-ski in the Nederhütte is very popular and highly recommended.

Visited the resort of Obergurgl and Hochgurgl 5 times. Recently returned and had another fabulous time. A must is the Nederhütte where their live band plays up to 3 times a week - great atmosphere. Very family friendly resort, great selection of runs.

Great resort (two resorts), great for Intermediate board riders. No lift queues at all (mid Jan ), :the resorts are high and snow was consistent and held up well into the afternoon. It's not really a place for apres as it's mainly hotel bars etc. However it's brilliant ski in ski out convenience. I'd go again. Hohe Mut Alm the best place for lunch!
