Obergurgl Ski Resort
Obergurgl, in the Tyrol, sits at the head of the Ötz Valley around 90 minutes’ drive south-west of Innsbruck, and draws a loyal British following of families and intermediates. At its heart is a traditional village centred on a church, now surrounded by luxurious hotels, with further clusters near the ice rink and gondola base. Its smaller, higher satellite, Hochgurgl, is a separate slopeside compound linked by lift. Many hotels across both resorts are ski-in ski-out.
Together, Obergurgl and Hochgurgl form one of the highest, most snow-sure ski areas in Austria, with slopes rising to 3,080m. This altitude gives an unusually long season, running from late November to the end of April, well beyond most Austrian resorts.
After a day on the slopes, our experts particularly recommend staying at The Moss with fabulous spa facilities or Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl located in the town centre with ski-in ski-out access. Our ski experts are here to help you find the perfect Obergurgl ski package. Contact our team or browse our latest ski deals to start your Obergurgl skiing adventure.
