Quality Skiing in the
Obergurgl-Hochgurgl
ski area

LOCATED IN THE UPPERMOST PART OF THE VALLEY, THE SKI AREA OF OBERGURGL-HOCHGURGL IS NOT ONLY ONE OF AUSTRIA’S SNOWIEST, BUT ALSO A UNIQUE HIGH-ALTITUDE EXPERIENCE. Between 1,800 and 3,030 meters above sea level, you will enjoy excellent slope conditions on 112 kilometers of pistes from mid-November to early May. As soon as the sun makes the fresh powder snow on the mountains truly sparkle, you will understand why the ski area is called the "Diamond of the Alps".

 

The Diamond of the Alps.
You are right in the heart of it.

Obergurgl-Hochgurgl
ski area

Wide open slopes where you have plenty of room for long and sweeping turns. 25 modern lifts and no waiting times. 13 quaint places to stop for refreshments - from rustic mountain huts to true hidden gems. And magnificent snowscapes as far as the eye can see. It's not surprising that the 5-star Obergurgl-Hochgurgl ski area is among the best in the world. Those yearning for powder will find it off the groomed runs: freeride routes, untouched dream slopes and deep-snow guiding with certified mountain guides. Children can practice their first turns on gentle slopes in the Obergurgl-Hochgurgl ski area, while the ski school is just a short walk from Alpenresidenz. The ultimate Ötztal Super Skipass (for 3 or more days) gives access to five additional ski areas in Ötztal valley.
 

Winter exploration
off the groomed slopes

Around the Obergurgl-Hochgurgl ski area, winter can be experienced in all its untouched beauty. Listen to the silence as the deep snow swallows every sound while you hike along 12 kilometers of cleared winter hiking trails through snow-covered stone pine forests to quiet vantage points. Snow-sure high altitude trails make cross-country skiing at 1,930 meters a pure panoramic delight. Passionate ski tourers will find beginner-friendly, leisurely routes here as well as multi-day Hautes Routes adventures. In the evening, the three kilometer long natural toboggan run boasts weekly night tobogganing.
 

One of the most unique
thermal spas in the Alps

Fabulous AQUA DOME in Längenfeld is just a bus ride away and draws thermal water from a depth of 1,865 meters. Floating in the 34-degree warm water, enveloped by gently falling snowflakes. High above, in seemingly free floating saltwater pools under the open sky, framed by snow-capped mountains. The modern architecture combines with a panorama that lends wellness moments an almost epic quality. Inside, a spacious sauna world with panoramic views, spa and wellness treatments, a whole world for children including a water slide paradise, a first-class restaurant and much more await you.
