The Ski Club in Obergurgl ...
With almost the entire ski area located above 2000m and a robust snowmaking system, Obergurgl boasts one of the longest and most reliable seasons in the Alps.
The terrain is above the tree-line and favours beginner and intermediate skiers, but there is some good off piste to explore for more advanced skiers. Obergurgl is one of the most popular resorts with Ski Club members and Ski Club holidays to the resort usually sell out well in advance so make sure to get booking early! Our Ski Club Rep Service will be operating in Obergurgl this season. Join the Rep for a drink during the nightly social hour at the Hotel Edelweiss and Gurgl between December and April this season. Find our Reps on the Ski Club App, home of all things Obergurgl this winter and the best place to organise your day’s skiing!

Pros and cons
- One of the most snowsure ski areas in the world with a very long season
- Excellent area for beginners, timid intermediates and families
- Very few queues and almost exclusively fast lifts
- Quiet, chalet-style village with little traffic and good hotels
- Slightly limited area of slopes, but can access other resorts in Ötztal Valley
- Exposed above the trees so not ideal in bad weather
- Not a great area for experts unless there is fresh snow
- Little going on later at night
On the Slopes
The village itself is the highest parish in Austria and has retained a lot of its traditional charm. It is split into three parts, one by the Rosskarbahn, the other by the Festkogelbahn and the third – named Hochgurgl – lies 200m higher up the Timmelsjoch road. Obergurgl is generally pretty quiet, but there is a good selection of restaurants and bars and a couple of lively spots for an après drink.
The high-altitude ski area tends to have some of the best snow conditions in the Alps and is always one of the first to open and last to close. This is not a resort for experts, but it is ideal for beginner and intermediate skiers.
There’s 110km of slopes on offer, served by 23 lifts – almost all of which are fast – and wherever you’re staying its going to be ski-in-ski-out.
For Beginners
Obergurgl is ideal for beginners. There are two lifts that are free for anyone in ski school and there are three other beginner lifts (covered by a special day pass) serving decent slopes at each end of Obergurgl, and also just above Hochgurgl. From there the blue under the Hohe Mut gondola is ideal for progression and more confident beginners should be able to tackle some of the gentle blues above Hochgurgl.
For Intermediates
The terrain is also ideal for intermediates and the snow conditions are usually first class. The network of blues above Hochgurgl are slightly more gentle, but are wide and ideal for perfecting your technique. For clocking up the most vertical, head to the top of the Wurmkogel chair or the Plattachbahn. Hopping between the two sides of the mountain is easy, just catch the Top-Express gondola.
For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste
There are few challenges on piste and the black runs are not particularly steep. Wait for fresh snow and make the most of the off piste – which often remains untracked for longer than in many resorts. The toughest runs are off the top of the second section of the Hohe Mut Bahn.
In the Resort
The mainly traffic-free village centre is relaxed and very family friendly.
That being said, it is not completely quiet and there are some good restaurants and bars, although most are linked to hotels and much of the action happens at the end of the ski day rather than late at night.
For Families
With its reputation as a family-friendly resort, the options and facilities for children are great. The ski school has very good reviews and they also provide lunchtime supervision. Off the slopes the safe location is great for snow play, the ice rink is always popular and there is a 3km tobogganing route over at Hochgurgl.
For Après
Obergurgl is most animated as the lifts start closing, before quietening down significantly in the late evening. Nederhütte at the Hohe Mut gondola mid- station is the place to be when the lifts close and is a frequent stop for Ski Club members utilising the Rep Service. From here you ski down and can also drop in at the popular bars at the base of the lift.

Our Snow Overviews are updated bi-weekly between the start of December and early May every season, providing summaries of snowfall, weather, avalanche risk and other noteworthy meteorological events to help you prepare for your skiing holiday. Check back next winter to stay up-to-date on the latest weather happenings in resort.
Our Reps service in Obergurgl will conclude for the season on 5 April 2025; this is different from dates advertised in a recent edition of SKI Magazine, for which the Club apologises for any inconvenience caused.
Obergurgl Reps Calendar 2024/25
Your Ski Club Reps are in resort for one reason only; to help you discover better skiing. They are your personal resort gurus, with years of experience skiing here and around the world, who will bring you and your fellow Members together to conquer the mountain! Stay up to date with everything in resort, find the best spots for an après beer, and ski to your hearts content.
Our Reps will be in resort between 7 December 2024 and 4 April 2025, skiing six days a week – Reps’ day off/changeover day is Saturday in this resort. We are making changes to how registration to ski with the Club in resort works. Thank you for your patience whilst we undertake these updates to the registration process.
Nick Coney
Repping dates: 07/12/2024 - 28/12/2024Although I came to skiing quite late in life, I've spent the last 20 years (and a commensurate amount of cash and energy!) trying hard to make up for missed opportunities and the repping service allows me the chance to ski with like minded individuals and to explore new resorts and territories and to meet fellow alpine enthusiasts. I'm equally happy searching out new tracks in powder as carving rails on piste. If only I could ski them as well as I imagine myself to be doing so.
Alastair Ross
Repping dates: 28/12/2024 - 11/01/2025Just seems like yesterday but it was 20 years ago I started repping for the Ski Club. So many wonderful memories. I am fortunate to ski for a fair amount each winter, pretty much always in Zermatt and Obergurgl and a few different resorts each season. As much as I love skiing, I do like to combine with stops at great mountain restaurants. Rest assured there is always time for a coffee and cake stop, especially when as wonderful as the attached photo.
Cliff Murphy
Repping dates: 11/01/2025 - 25/01/2025Hi, as you would expect, I’m passionate about skiing and being in the mountains and I am keen to share this passion with others. I have skied in a wide variety of places, from Aspen to Kyrgyzstan but central to it all is the people I meet, and the memories that we create. I have skied a lot with the club and fallen over on many slopes, but always ended up laughing! I’m looking forward to skiing with likeminded people, whether it is on a blue run or a stood at the top of a gnarly couloir.
Glyn Taylor
Repping dates: 25/01/2025 - 08/02/2025It was great to be back on skis last season and one of my trips was to Obergurgl. Super high-altitude resort so I am delighted to be going back as the resort rep this season. I am also running a Freshtracks holiday at Sils Maria (St Moritz) in March. I still live between the French vineyards near Bergerac and Eastbourne in UK, and I am currently researching a part-time PhD at Kings College London on the First World War.
Harriet Younger
Repping dates: 08/02/2025 - 22/02/2025I love being in the mountains - both winter and summer. Looking forward to some excellent skiing this year. When not in the mountains - I enjoy hot yoga.
REP TBC
Repping dates: 22/02/2025 - 08/03/2025We are still early in the process of assigning Reps for the 2024/25 winter season. Thank you for your patience whilst we make these arrangements.
Christine Robinson
Repping dates: 08/03/2025 - 22/03/2025I have been a member for many years and always enjoy skiing with the club.
I love being in the mountains and always try to get the most out of the day, whether this is looking for a bit of untracked powder or a sunny spot to enjoy the views.
I think the art of skiing is finding the best snow, successfully dodging the lift queues and make sure their is always time for a quick drink at the end of the day.
David Howarth
Repping dates: 22/03/2025 - 05/04/2025Love being in the mountains and by the sea! Living on the south coast I get one but have to travel to the other! So skiing has always been a big part of my life, and through the Ski Club I have been able to enjoy most of the resorts in Europe, plus a few in the USA. Love cruising the pistes and morning hot chocs just as much as the gnarly steep stuff, preferably n the company of a group of like-minded members! Long may it continue!
