HOCHGURGL SKIING

Located at the very end of the Ötztal Valley, Hochgurgl is the high-altitude ski resort that accesses the combined Obergurgl- Hochgurgl ski area that is ideal for intermediate skiers and snowboarders and has one of the best snow guarantees in the Alps. Hochgurgl accesses the Wurmkogel side of the ski area whilst Obergurgl links into the Festkogel ski area. Both the Obergurgl and Hochgurgl ski areas are linked to each other by the Top Express Gurgl ski lift that essentially travels horizontally and over 2 vast valleys which separate the areas.

The combined ski area offers high altitude ski pistes that often enjoy superb snow and have a glacier skiing feel to them, with wide lumbering pistes between craggy peaks. The skiing in Hochgurgl is ideal for beginners and intermediates, whilst Obergurgl offers better skiers and snowboarders some great off-piste, as well as some genuinely tough ski routes. The new mountain restaurant at the top of the Wurmkogel is an incredible structure, with precipitous drops beneath the meshed steel, circular balcony.
