Close to Italian border and wrapped by towering glacial peaks, Obergurgl is as snow sure as they come, whilst its ski-in / ski-out satellite village of Hochgurgl is the 2nd highest in the Alps. The skiing is famed for its staggering views and empty slopes.

The slopes are never emptier that when the schnapps trays are airborne at the Nederhütte – a pumping slope side après ski nirvana that is mercifully located closer to the resort that the top station.

Obergurgl offers many hotels with immediate access to the slopes, whilst Hochgurgl is fully ski-in / ski-out – a must-have for some corporate ski event planners. Both Obergurgl and Hochgurgl are compact and easy to navigate.

The recently opened and seriously impressive Gurgl Carat conference centre in the heart of Obergurgl offers a stunning meeting venue for event planners looking to add a meeting element to their corporate ski event.

OBERGURGL APRÈS SKI

Outwardly, a sleepy high-altitude ski village paradise at the southern reaches of the Ötztal valley, Obergurgl in fact offers some afternoon surprises in the shape of serious après ski. The Nederhütte is an absolute après ski institution.

Located a couple of hundred of metres above Obergurgl, the resident band, the Nederlumpen crank up the atmosphere during mid-week sessions and the masses in attendance lose themselves. The Nederhütte - not to be missed!

Whilst the Nederhütte offers fantastic Austrian après ski, little in the observable universe can compete with Sölden for après ski. By a twist of fate, Sölden is located just a few minutes north of Obergurgl and offers après ski from the dark side.

Company folklore is frequently written on corporate ski trips and for those looking to establish unofficial corporate pecking orders, Sölden looms large on the radar of opportunity.
