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.

Perfect for all the family. Perhaps not the place for the ultimate thrill seeker but outstanding for stunning vistas, great snow management, excellent food and no mega long lift queues

Obergurgl is a great place to visit. We enjoyed ski in ski out facilities in an amazing hotel. The 360 restaurant at the top was awesome for evening sunsets before skiing the last run down. You can get the connecting cable car over to explore many more areas. We also visited the bike museum. Fantastic holiday.

We joined family friends for a week at Obergurgl (Chalet Obergurgl). It is a short walk to the busses and ski lifts as well as all the necessary shops to hire equipment etc. Obergurgl is highly rated for its snow quality, and we can fully agree. The ratio of people per ski lift is far less than other resorts we visited, meaning that you spend much less time queuing for lifts than most resorts. There is a fantastic high altitude fancy restaurant (where they shot the James Bond - Spectre film). The views are breathtaking!!! There is no shortage of apres ski either. The resort is a little pricey, but definitely worth a trip! A short drive from Obergurgl to Solden and you can do some fun night skiing too, so always remember to get a ski pass that permits skiing in both regions!

Plenty of ski runs, with option of doing hochgurgl/ obergurgl made easy with the gondola. Fab piste conditions, and when theres a white out, the off piste snowboarding is up there!

Family friendly resort with great snow security as very high up. No tree runs if thats what you like for you off piste skiing but some nice powder off piste. Ski school is fantastic but like a lot of the resort its quite expensive. Great skiing, great restaurants and food on the mountain not expensive. Apres limited to the odd bar, not a party resort at all if thats your scene. A lot of expensive accommodation so book early for the better value ones.

Such a great resort to learn with your family. Not loads of runs though so going over to hochgurgl is a must on some days. There isnt a huge apres scene, as its more of a family vibe but a fun place for a little drink and a boogie

Chose the resort due to its altitude so snow sure. Not the largest resort but plenty of skiing for a week. Lifts good and queues short. Would recommend and will visit again!

Wonderful family owned hotel walking distance to the main lodge. Amazing apres-ski entertainment and activities including guided snow shoe tour to a slope-side lodge bar.
All inclusive dinning option was excellent with family style seating for the stay and marvelous Austrian cuisine.

The best for beginners looking for a balance of ski school, easy groomers, beautiful views and quiet resort. Perfect for learners and those just having the courage to go off piste. The back country skier may get a bit bored as the advanced/ elite skiing terrain is limited

Obergurgl is just about big enough for a week's skiing. It's very easy to drive/bus the 20 minutes down the road to Sölden (included in a 6 day pass) if you want a bit of variety.

The resort is high, so lacks some protection from nice tree runs, and lifts can get closed quite quickly on the Obergurgl side when winds pick up.

Overall, great for cruising around on some nice pistes!
