Obergurgl Ski Resort Guide
Obergurgl Ski Resort Guide
Obergurgl sits at the head of the Otzal Valley, a mere 90 minutes from Innsbruck and just 20 minutes from the larger resort of Sloden. Over 110 km of immaculate pistes offer good intermediate skiing and beginners should also find enough to keep them occupied for a week. Advanced skiers may have to look to the off-piste after a while or make the short journey to Solden after a few days to keep them happy. On the plus side, Obergurgl has an excellent snow record and there are, rarely any lift queues. The village, if you can call it that, is small and quiet. Not the liveliest of resorts but if it is the snow you came for then there is enough to feed and water you in the resort. If you get bored at Obergurgl, get a taxi to Solden which is much busier.

Visitor Reviews of Obergurgl
Dan from United Kingdom writes:
Just returned from Obergurgl for the opening weekend. We were fairly apprehensive before we left as we saw there has been practically no snow.
All due respect to the staff at the resort though as the snow making machines were working overtime and they managed to open all the main lifts and over half the slopes.
Of course best of all, the slopes were practically empty - never once having to wait inline.
