Ski holidays Obergurgl/Hochgurgl - top of Ötztal!

Few alpine valleys have as much to offer a guest as the Ötz Valley in Tyrol: kilometres of piste en masse and for all abilities, very modern lift systems, 150 kilometres of cross-country tracks, 200 kilometres of cleared winter hiking trails, rustic huts and in the evenings - depending on taste - an upbeat mood in the numerous discos and bars, a fun sledding party or night skiing... the list of possibilities is long.
The nice thing about the Ötz Valley's diversity is the selection. Quaint winter villages, the most prominent winter sports resorts, and not least the Aqua Dome, which promises rest and relaxation - all tastes are catered for here! Obergurgl/Hochgurgl - top of Ötztal!

High snow-security from November to May, pistes above the timberline, an impressive panorama of the surrounding mountains and the latest snow machines … these are just a few of the many reasons to go for a holiday in Obergurgl-Hochgurgl! The two, rather calm villages Obergurgl (1,930 m) and Hochgurgl (2,150 m) are to be found at the end of the Ötz Valley on the high alpine road to the Timmelsjoch. In the midst of this beautiful mountain scenery quality beats quantity – especially in Hochgurgl: The exclusive hotel village is made up of just six hotels. Obergurgl is traffic-reduced, at night all driving is completely forbidden! Doorstep skiing is possible in both resorts. The landscape is marked by the surrounding glacier scenery and the impressive mountain views. The atmosphere here is very quaint and the villages are renowned for their hut tradition with evenings spent in the huts and après ski.

You will find the skiing area of Obergurgl-Hochgurgl at the end of the Ötztal at an altitude of 1,800 - 3,080 m. Thanks to the high altitude and the modern snowmaking devices it's not surprising that this area has the reputation of having the most snow-sure skiing area in the Alps! With the lift pass you have access to 110 kilometres of piste and 23 lifts. Up to 90% of the pistes are accessible to the snowmaking devices, therefore the lifts are open from November to May! The "Top-Express-Gurgl" gondola connects the two skiing areas – the ride of 3.6 km takes just 9 minutes. During this time you can just relax and enjoy the magnificent glacier scenery! The broad slopes of Hochgurgl are ideal for beginners. Obergurgl is more demanding but also offers a few blue runs. Advanced skiers get their kicks at the "Hohen Mut" (high courage) at Obergurgl – the most demanding slope of the Ötz Valley with its mogul piste and extremely steep run! Boarders can head towards Sölden, but here you will also find a fun park with a quarter and a half pipe. Cross-country skiers won't have quite so much to choose from, but the 12 km of track offer a wonderful landscape and lots of fun!
