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 18/02

High pressure over Eastern and Central Europe creates a strong barrier that is preventing low pressure and unsettled weather making its way in off the Atlantic. The result will be a cool but otherwise really stable week and weekend ahead for the Austrian Alps.

Sun will be the order of the day for most of this week, with a few flutters of cloud cover moving in through the middle of this week. The freezing line will drop overnight, with lows of -9°C possible at 2,000m. From its nadir at 1,000m, the line will climb in the midday sun, reaching 2,000m every day, bringing spring-like conditions to make areas. Over the course of the week, both overnight and midday lines will rise by c.500m, meaning proper spring-like conditions will dominate with fewer opportunities for snow to freeze overnight.

Early indicators are for some more snowfall to begin the new week, but it remains too early to tell whether this will bring meaningful snow to the region.

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.

Mark Gaskin

Repping dates: 08/02/2025 - 22/02/2025

I was lucky enough to start skiing at the age of 11 and was hooked from the outset. I love the sense of freedom I find in the mountains and particularly enjoy heading off-piste on a sunny day. Any ski experience is enhanced by who you share it with and I look forward to meeting new friends with SCGB. I am a retired GP but now spend my time enjoying life; travelling with my family, playing average golf and skiing whenever possible!

Repping dates: 22/02/2025 - 08/03/2025

I love to ski so that's good then. Looking forward to getting back on the snow and feeling European again!! Being a Rep to me means visiting great resorts, getting to know ski mad members and showing them a good time on the slopes. I like bumps, I like steeps and I love powder. Whether cruising blues or descending reds, there is nothing I like more than the happy look on members faces after a good day on the snow. Seems I have only managed 4 stars which is not bad but want to go for the 5 star approval this year ;-)! Always good to have a goal. I am looking forward to meeting ski friends old and new!

Christine Robinson

Repping dates: 08/03/2025 - 22/03/2025

I 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 - 05/04/2025

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!
