Obergurgl Ski Resort: Key Facts

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

Obergurgl Ski Resort Accommodation

Winter activities in Obergurgl

Ski between Obergurgl and Hochgurgl

Explore 112 km of slopes across the connected Obergurgl and Hochgurgl sectors. Wide pistes around the Gaisberg and Festkogl are suitable for families and intermediate skiers, while more experienced visitors can discover steeper terrain around the Hohe Mut and Wurmkogel. The Top Express gondola connects the two main sectors, making it possible to spend the day exploring the entire ski area. The resort’s altitude provides reliable conditions from November through April.

Discover the Top Mountain Star

Travel to the Top Mountain Star at 3,030 metres and enjoy panoramic views across the Ötztal Alps and towards the Dolomites. The glass-fronted mountain bar and viewing platform occupy one of the highest accessible points in the ski area. Visitors can also explore the Top Mountain Motorcycle Experience near the Hochgurgl sector, one of Europe’s highest motorcycle museums.

Winter hiking and snowshoeing

Discover more than 20 km of prepared winter hiking trails through the high-altitude landscape surrounding Obergurgl and Hochgurgl. Routes lead through the valley, towards mountain huts and across peaceful snow-covered terrain. Snowshoeing and guided excursions provide another way to explore the Ötztal Nature Park and the quieter landscapes beyond the ski pistes.
