Experience Reliable Snow in Gurgl – Winter at 1,800-3,030m

Perfect high alpine altitude for your exclusive ski holiday

Surrounded by countless three-thousand-metre peaks, Gurgl ranks among the Alps’ highest winter sports resorts. At over 2,000m above sea level, its location guarantees absolute snow reliability from November through April. This makes Gurgl one of the first non-glacier ski areas to open the winter season, offering perfect snow conditions well into spring. Wide, expansive ski slopes invite winter fans to indulge in leisurely downhill fun, with 112km of ski slopes all providing differing levels of variety. Thanks to 25 state-of-the-art mountain lifts, there are absolutely no waiting times, and the spectacular Top Express gondola lift connects the two ski mountains of Obergurgl and Hochgurgl. Those looking for gentle and sun-kissed slopes will find what they are looking for, as will those who prefer truly sporting challenges. A multi-faceted ski area full of outstanding ski days awaits you.

Premium accommodation right on the ski slopes

Gurgl also focuses on first-class quality off the perfectly groomed slopes. Almost all of the region’s premium accommodations are located directly on the slopes or in close proximity to the mountain lifts. Over 90% of all hotel beds are less than 250m from the nearest ski run: ski-in & ski-out is standard here. So, in the morning, it is all about sleeping in, enjoying a tasty breakfast, strapping on your skis, and hitting the slopes. In the evening, you can effortlessly glide back to your front door and end your day of skiing in your favourite accommodation. Sports shops, ski rentals, and ski schools can also be found in the immediate vicinity, guaranteeing the highest quality thanks to personal advice, premium equipment, and private lessons.
