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 -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!

I have really enjoyed skiing in Obergurgl and also accessed slopes in Solden. Its a quiet resort other than the nederhutte which is jumping, live music and skidoo back to resort if you dont fancy skiing.

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!

Great for beginners to intermediates. Quiet with limited/no wait for lifts. Quieter too on the apres side of things, so if that's your thing this probably isn't the resort for you. Night skiing and sledging available too.I recommend getting the wider valley pass to get access to Solden too! Busses are free so it's easy to get around the valley area.

A nicely polished resort. Great hotels and an efficient lift system. Mountain huts are great fun with plenty of music and Tyrolean atmosphere ! For those who want a day off the slopes go to the motorcycle museum which can be accessed by skis or the lift system. Incredible amount of bikes and an interactive theatre where you can experience riding through the pass to Italy. One of the great attractions at Obergurgle is night time skiing which is an absolute joy and a must to experience.Overall a really excellent resort for hotels, tyrolean hospitality, snowboarding as well as skiing and of course Austrian Apre ski !

Obergurgl isnt the liveliest resort - contrasts with Sölden for example - but its within a short bus ride if you fancy that kind of action. Good lift system. Well maintained pistes. Great mountain restaurants. And an excellent range of apres-ski venues, including the infamous Nederhütte. Short transfer from Innsbruk airport. Good bus service, making Hochgurgl and Solden within easy reach. Hotels are all great quality, with excellent food offerings, and lovely spas/saunas etcOne of my favourites ski resorts.

A fantastic family friendly resort, excellent food and wine options for all levels and theres even a Michelin star restaurant in the village now.There are a great selection of hotels and local bars, the mountain huts are all excellent from top to bottom There has been a huge investment in the lift infrastructure meaning queues are rare The snow conditions are usually fantastic as the resort is high and snow sure, we have been returning for over 20 years which speaks volumes about the quality of the resort

Lovely runs for all levels. Very quiet for apres, very few bars and bistros so the bars that do offer this tend to be very busy and overwhelmed. Little to do at nighttime.

Smaller resort, with wide empty pistes making it ideal for intermediates. Advanced skiers could get bored, but option to go to solden for the day for more challenging pistes. Some great restaurants on the slopes for lunch, but apres ski not as lively as the French resorts. Would highly rate the quality of ski hire and hotels, exception service. Our hotel offered a 5 course dinner at night and spa was great

Obergurgl was a fantastic resort with plenty of terrain for all levels. The Neiderhut at the top of the cruisy blue home run is a must for dancing on the tables after a day's skiing. We had a great trip one night on a cable car to a mountain restaurant which was a fantastic experience.We loved the resort and enjoyed a day in Hochgurgl too we went on the bus and skiied back using a network of lifts. Don't hesitate to visit this resort you won't be disappointed
