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 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

Great resort for a long weekend or a 3/4 day trip. Easy access from Salzburg - only an hour away. Ski in ski out. Good choice of places to stay. Some lovely runs for all standards, good apres, restaurants & bars.

The large area of Hochgurgl-Obergurgl, interconnected with gondolas and ski lifts. Rather spectacular views of the Italian side of the Alps once you get to the top. The lifts are impeccably maintained although with needless pass checking even when you are on the top of the mountain.

Really great resort. Very high at a hight of 3000m so great snow conditions! You start high as well so even better. Fantastic restaurants to eat at, would recommend the motorcycle museum! Large portions and very tasty.

Excellent resort, on the higher price end but superb lift system. Night skiing is available one night a week and great après-ski at the nederhutte.

I love Obergurgl/Hochgurgl! I have been many times with my family and every time the weather has been beautiful and the conditions have always been amazing. The runs are very well looked after and the ski lifts are really quick and efficient even if it is busy. The runs and ski school are suitable for all abilities. There are plenty of great restaurants to choose from in the town and also on the slopes. Although there arent many apres ski options, the Nederhütte always provides you with a fun afternoon/evening out, serving great food, drinks, and live music. I highly recommend this resort to anyone who is considering going!

Resort was perfect for the group we had which was a mixture of never before to advanced guys. Thoroughly enjoyed the night skiing, and each day ski there were plenty of options for slopes across the valley. With the nightlife, it was okay but nothing too busy which worked fine so it depends if you wanted quieter or a bigger scene. Overall, would absolutely recommend and we will be going again next year

Small ski area with 50 kilometers of slopes. The slopes range from blue to black. There is a great motorcycle museum that can be visited directly from the lift station. The huts, some of which are rustic, offer a good selection of food. Parking is OK, but could be better signposted.
