OBERGURGL SKI HOLIDAYS

Obergurgl, is one of the most snow-sure, non-glacial ski areas in Austria. The area is surrounded by glaciers and whilst the ski terrain resembles the wide, gentle runs of traditional glaciers, Obergurgl relies on conventional snow. Fortunately at a height of 1930m, with Hochgurgl some way above that, then snow is almost always plentiful throughout the winter months. There are 2 villages serving the Obergurgl ski area, Obergurgl itself located in the valley and Hochgurgl at mid mountain and slope-side. Obergurgl is by far the bigger with more facilities and accommodation available. Hochgurgl offers superb access to the slopes and lifts from its location at mid-mountain. The Obergurgl ski area is extensive and is perfect for intermediates.

OBERGURGL SKI HOLIDAY INFO

The skiing is Obergurgl is characterised by great snow quality and an abundance of intermediate slopes. All skiing is above the tree-line and occupies the slopes beneath the Fetskogl and Wurmkogl peaks. The two areas are joined by a near horizontal gondola that spans the gorges between the areas. The resorts are Obergurgl and Hochgurgl are both upmarket and stylish resorts but differ greatly in location. Obergurgl at 1930m down in the valley spreads out along the valley whilst Hochgurgl is situated on the mountainside at 2150m and has superb access to the lifts and ski pistes. Of the 2 Obergurgl offers far more facilities.

Didn't seem like a lot was going on after the slopes were closed.
