Skiing
The slopes of Hochgurgl consist of high, gentle bowls, with fast lifts serving the main slopes above the village. Hochgurgl is great for beginners with many rising up to almost 3,000m. Above the treeline, intermediates will enjoy the long runs in the bowls and the exciting tree skiing on a variety of long, challenging runs. For the more advanced skiers, the area has some very challenging skiing. The Hohe Mut is one of the Tirol's biggest bump runs. Sattel has some great off-piste and the exhilarating Festkogl ski route is steep and unforgettable in fresh powder.
Snowboarding
The gentle bowls and dedicated runs provide the perfect terrain for beginners. Intermediates can enjoy some excellent carving opportunities on long, cruising runs and exciting tree runs. For the more advanced, there is an abundance of off-piste potential. There is also a fun park and half pipe for the more adventurous boarder.
