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.

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 28/03

A steady nordstau event over Austria hits this weekend, with cooling temperatures and loads of snow hitting the region. Loads of it. Snowfall brings over two feet of snow to the Inn and Ems Valleys, with plenty of it making it over the Main Alpine Ridge to the southerly edges of the Austria Alps. Snow will begin Friday night, before around a foot falls on Saturday, followed by half a foot on Sunday and nearly another foot on Monday.

The freezing line will drop off gradually over the course of this period, starting at 2,000m but reaching 1,000m by dawn on Monday. This will ensure that much of this especially later snowfall reaches lower elevation slopes, too.

Fine, dry and steady conditions then move in for the remainder of the week and into next weekend.

Snow & Weather Forecasts Avalanche Forecast

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.

David Howarth

Repping dates: 22/03/2025 - 05/04/2025

Love 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!
