Get a feel for the resort

Obergurgl and Hochgurgl share one of the highest ski areas in Austria. Set in the spectacular Oetz Valley, the slopes reach over 3000m, resulting in reliable snow conditions from as early as November to as late in the season as May. Both areas, linked by a gondola and bus service, have developed from farming settlements into quality resorts offering convenient, high altitude skiing. Obergurgl's resort centre has little traffic and numerous shops, cafes, restaurants and bars, many of which have a great atmosphere at the end of the day. Obergurgl does not promise to be one of Austria's liveliest resorts though live music is not unusual in some of the bars later on in the evenings. Hochgurgl is no more than a cluster of quality hotels set on the mountainside offering superb convenience for the slopes and a relaxing mountain base. These resorts attract a loyal following of beginners, intermediates and families every winter thanks to snowsure slopes, great quality accommodation and a relaxed resort atmosphere.

Attracting a loyal following of beginners, intermediates and families thanks to snowsure slopes, great quality accommodation and a relaxed resort atmosphere
Hochgurgl is in an elevated position on a sunny plateau overlooking its neighbour below, Obergurgl. The resort, a small collection of high quality hotels, has become extremely popular for its skiing convenience and snow reliability. Most hotels in Hochgurgl are just a stone's throw from the lifts and slopes. Gentle beginner slopes close to the centre means it's a great place for first timers and the Top Express gondola links Hochgurgl's and Obergurgl's 110km ski area for intermediates wanting to clock up some mileage. For quick access to the slopes and relaxed evenings in enjoying your hotel's facilities, Hochgurgl is the right choice.
