What's it like at Obergurgl resort?

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.

    Just returned from a week in Obergurgl staying at Haus Verwall Apartments. Accommodation was excellent, clean, modern, great breakfasts, wonderful host and right by ski school and bottom lifts. Would recommend this accommodation to anybody with a number of restaurants and takeaways within a few minutes walk. Weather was excellent, blue skies, no wind and the slopes well groomed. Temperatures slightly higher than normal so best skiing in the morning leaving the afternoons for playing in the sun. Nederhutte can't be beaten for apres-ski and you can still ski down to the town or ride on a skidoo if you've overdone the partying. Overall, a good family oriented resort with a good mix of runs for all abilities. If you run out of pistes to explore there is a free bus service to Solden and the lift pass covers it all. Great time was had by all from age 4 to 62.
