Visitor Reviews of Obergurgl


Willie from United Kingdom writes:

Excellent time and would strongly recommend Obergurgl/Hochgurgl to any potential visitors.

Visited Obergurgl for the 1st time, arriving Sat the 12th Feb, for 1 week. Snow according to other repeat visitors was a bit on the light side. From my perspective 1st time there the snow was great. 3 days of predominant sun followed by 1 day of snow then a couple of mixed days. Left on Saturday with the sun splitting the heavens.

All the runs were well pisted and made for good skiing. Following the snow on Wednesday the character of the slopes changed quite a bit. Especially in Hochburgl. Lots of fresh snow, some powder and quite a few moguls formed. Skiing on Thursday as the result of the fresh snow was more varied and challenging. By the time Friday came round more of the runs were once again well pisted, particularly in Obergurgl.

The facilities for skiing in both Obergurgl and Hochburgl were excellent. No queue of any note. Excellent food and drink to be had on the hills. I would agree with the ratings for the resort in that it is excellent for beginners and intermediates. Not so challenging for experts. Although in saying that their was off-piste skiing to be had. On our last day myself and my 15 year old son skied all the black runs and to be honest only 1 of the black runs -33 was truly a black. Obviously this is subjective and is only my opinion.

We stayed at the hotel Sportiv. A three star hotel. However, that is only part of the story as the hotel is owned by the same company as operate the 4 star hotel Crystal. Both hotels are directly connected via the excellent locker room and or a bridge at the 1st floor level. As guests at the Hotel Sportiv you are able to use all the facilities of the hotel Crystal including the excellent Spa! Not for the shy and reserved as the main spa area is nude only. However, I would recommend it. Afternoon tea was offered at the Hotel Crystal as well and was well worth a visit. The Sportiv itself was generally very good. We stayed half-board and although the menu was fairly limited, at least it was for a 15 year old, the food itself was very good. The staff in the hotel were nothing but friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10 for customer service. I would strongly recommend the hotel Sportiv. Do not want to stereotype anyone, however, we found the Austrians, in general, to be very welcoming and helpful.

The hotel is located directly next to one of the main gondolas and it is literally no more than a 20 metre walk from the locker room to the gondola. At the end of the day it was possible to ski direct to the door of the hotel. Could not ask for more.

What more can I say!
