Obergurgl Hochgurgl Overview

Obergurgl Hochgurgl is a top-tier ski resort renowned for its high-altitude slopes, minimal queues and extensive infrastructure, making it an ideal destination for ski enthusiasts of all levels. Its expansive ski area is particularly favored for its broad blue runs, though a few are regarded as challenging due to their narrow paths and steep drop-offs. Despite these, the resort maintains a high likelihood of stable snow conditions, offering a myriad of freeride options of varying difficulties, making it an exciting destination for adventurous skiers.

The resort boasts of breathtaking Tyrolean views and beautifully groomed slopes. Even during peak season, the efficient lift system helps manage the crowd ensuring the slopes remain relatively uncongested.
