Obergurgl-Hochgurgl Reviews & Ratings

Loved this resort, stayed in a ski in, ski out hotel over new years and had an amazing time. It was quite a busy location, with big queues to get up the mountain, but if you went up when ski school are on their lunch break it was always really nice and quiet. Theres good connections to the rest of the mountain, but due to very windy weather lots of the ski lifts were shut. Would definitely love to come back here again!

The view from the Top star Restaurant is my screen saver truly beautiful. This place is magic great piste, great off piste, and always good snow.

Obergurgl is an amazing resort, the re are barely any lift queues, the apres is unreal, the Nederhütte is the best food and hospitality service Ive ever experienced. The resort is my favourite place in the world

Fantastic resort. Ski pass also covers Sölden which also offer a wide range of slopes.
Great food. Apres ski at the Nedderhutte also fun.

Great resort, not super packed. No green runs but wide blues at the top. Friendly atmosphere. Lovely hotel.

The week we skied was mainly overcast and two days were windy. The slopes in Hochgurgl are mainly blue runs, and are lovely and wide. There are a couple of pinch points on runs 32 and 36. But going slow and giving others respect mean its not an issue, the red runs are mainly quite wide.
One day there were only two lifts running which was a little painful. However after having a drink stop, it meant we skied a lot although over the same 4/5 pistes, but they were pretty quiet and we almost had them to ourselves.
We spent a day in Obergurgl using the cross point cable car. We skied most of the area apart from 2 blacks. The only slope that wasnt particularly nice was the bottom of 12 going down to the cable car. Less confident red skiers may struggle.
Overall a lovely area to ski and with it being so high , snow isnt an issue.

Obergurgl, is often referred to as the Diamond of the Alps for good reason and is renowned for its reliable snow and high-altitude skiing. Lots of modern lifts that access a wide range of slopes suitable for all skill levels.

Our hotel was fantastic, walking distance to lifts as are most places and if not bus system is great. Ski hire shops good value and all close by.

A standout restaurant for us is the Nederhütte, an amazing lunch and après-ski venue, lively music from Benny and the band, cold beers, great food and fun, crazy welcoming Austrian atmosphere - and then a ski back home!

a visit to the James Bond exhibit at the in Solden is a must. The show memorabilia from the filming of Spectre And the restaurant there is awesome! Expensive but amazing food, service and views, or you can visit the chicken shack on the way down!

Overall, Obergurgl, for our family provides a fantastic blend of skiing, relaxation, and entertainment, been a few times now and we love it!

Such a friendly area! Great for all levels of skier. lots of runs and pubs for beer stops!! On the more expensive side however its so worth it!

Obergurgl is a really family friendly resort! The slopes are amazing and can get really high - the slopes are really nice and long too. It feels like a bit of a quieter resort as its a bit smaller/ not one of the major ones but the quietness makes it really enjoyable. Just down the valley is Sölden which is super easy to get to if you want a bit of a change!

Obergurgl is a small village with not many bars, but the slopes are perfectly groomed and you're always going to have good snow. The staff in and around the ski slopes are fast efficient and most importantly friendly. It's great for family's that can ski and, as some of the blues seem like little reds.

I would recommend this area to all.

Obergurgl is the self-confessed Diamond of the Alps and it is understandable to see why. The hotels are fantastic, the pistes are well looked after, the mountain restaurants are all family owned and decent value for money. With connections to Hochgurgl and Solden, there is a huge amount of skiing to be done. The crème de La crème of Obergurgl, has to be the Nederhutte. A family run restaurant through the afternoon and then the best apres I have ever been to, late afternoon. At the end of the evening, if you can manage to put your skis on, theres a gentle blue back into the village. If this requires a little too much thought after sampling the finest Austrian lager, they have complimentary skidoos that ferry people up and down. If skiing/boarding is not your cup of tea, there are plenty of cross country tracks for walking that are very popular with the locals and hotel staff. My family have been to the Solden/Obergurgl ski area for the last 5 years and we are finding it hard to consider booking anywhere else! Highly recommend for all levels of skiers.

Öbergurgl offers a variety of terrain suited for all levels of snowboarders, though its particularly appealing for intermediate to advanced riders. The resort has a good mix of wide open pistes and more challenging, off-piste terrain. The slopes are well-maintained and not as crowded as other Austrian resorts, making for a more relaxed snowboarding experience.

Ski locker room is right next to the lift. Lifts are efficient. Plenty of snow and various runs. It is a small resort and not full of Apres ski bars, therefore family friendly. Great lunch spots on the mountain. Came here a few years ago and back again. One of my favourite ski resorts.

Great resort and plenty of skiing. Great locations up the slope for lunch and apres beers. Cons - more in town bars would be good for apres.

The resort itself is really nice. The lifts never have queues and the village has a nice, chilled vibe. Unfortunately, its not so great for snowboarding. Obergurgl especially. The main blues can be really icy and chopped up by mid day, with regular trains of people. Maybe advanced level boarders would have a different experience on the small amount of reds and blacks. Hochgurgl is better but can be much busier (still, the lifts are good). Overall, I really enjoyed the area, but its only a 20 minute free bus to Sölden, which is much better suited to boarders.

My favourite resort, I would come here every year if I could! Fantastic ski range. If youre staying in Obergurgl you can easily catch the bus to Sölden and Hochgurgl for the day which also offers a great ski range. The people are friendly and the night life is great fun! 10/10 will always recommend.

Very nice but small resort. Quite a few of the lifts were closed as it was windy.
Would recommend as Im told its very rare for that many lifts to be closed.

Good for 2 days but terrible if bad conditions as not much else to do than be in your hotel. Good food choices at the top

2nd time to ski at Obergurgl and I'm retuning for sure, ski school is fantastic conditions of piste good and the village has lovely walks with views for the family.
The ponies are beautiful lovely to see the foals.
