Forecast today: Occasional snow
The terrain is above the tree-line and favours beginner and intermediate skiers, but there is some good off piste to explore for more advanced skiers. Obergurgl is one of the most popular resorts with Ski Club members and Ski Club holidays to the resort usually sell out well in advance so make sure to get booking early! Our Ski Club Rep Service will be operating in Obergurgl this season. Join the Rep for a drink during the nightly social hour at the Hotel Edelweiss and Gurgl between December and April this season. Find our Reps on the Ski Club App, home of all things Obergurgl this winter and the best place to organise your day’s skiing!
The village itself is the highest parish in Austria and has retained a lot of its traditional charm. It is split into three parts, one by the Rosskarbahn, the other by the Festkogelbahn and the third – named Hochgurgl – lies 200m higher up the Timmelsjoch road. Obergurgl is generally pretty quiet, but there is a good selection of restaurants and bars and a couple of lively spots for an après drink.
The high-altitude ski area tends to have some of the best snow conditions in the Alps and is always one of the first to open and last to close. This is not a resort for experts, but it is ideal for beginner and intermediate skiers.
There’s 110km of slopes on offer, served by 23 lifts – almost all of which are fast – and wherever you’re staying its going to be ski-in-ski-out.
Obergurgl is ideal for beginners. There are two lifts that are free for anyone in ski school and there are three other beginner lifts (covered by a special day pass) serving decent slopes at each end of Obergurgl, and also just above Hochgurgl. From there the blue under the Hohe Mut gondola is ideal for progression and more confident beginners should be able to tackle some of the gentle blues above Hochgurgl.
The terrain is also ideal for intermediates and the snow conditions are usually first class. The network of blues above Hochgurgl are slightly more gentle, but are wide and ideal for perfecting your technique. For clocking up the most vertical, head to the top of the Wurmkogel chair or the Plattachbahn. Hopping between the two sides of the mountain is easy, just catch the Top-Express gondola.
There are few challenges on piste and the black runs are not particularly steep. Wait for fresh snow and make the most of the off piste – which often remains untracked for longer than in many resorts. The toughest runs are off the top of the second section of the Hohe Mut Bahn.
The mainly traffic-free village centre is relaxed and very family friendly.
That being said, it is not completely quiet and there are some good restaurants and bars, although most are linked to hotels and much of the action happens at the end of the ski day rather than late at night.
With its reputation as a family-friendly resort, the options and facilities for children are great. The ski school has very good reviews and they also provide lunchtime supervision. Off the slopes the safe location is great for snow play, the ice rink is always popular and there is a 3km tobogganing route over at Hochgurgl.
Obergurgl is most animated as the lifts start closing, before quietening down significantly in the late evening. Nederhütte at the Hohe Mut gondola mid- station is the place to be when the lifts close and is a frequent stop for Ski Club members utilising the Rep Service. From here you ski down and can also drop in at the popular bars at the base of the lift.

A tale of two halves over Austria this week, with western and eastern regions seeing different forecasts. Western areas will see steady flurries of snowfall through the middle of this week before fine, dry and bright conditions dominate on Thursday. The freezing will steadily decline over this period, starting at 2,000m and, with a few bumps along the way, float down to 500m on the weekend.
More snowfall will then come in over higher ground as the weekend begins, with 10cm expected down over Friday night and into Saturday. Things settle down, albeit remain cold and cloudy with more snowfall threatened in the new week.
Eastern areas will be far snowier through the middle of this week, with the potential for 20cm of snow down over Wednesday and Thursday. The freezing line will be higher, however, sitting around 2,000m for this period meaning snow will be limited to upper slopes. Things then cool off as the freezing line drops to 500m but things turn drier into the weekend and new week.

Skiing came into my life early with family and friends who were keen to spend fun times in Switzerland and France. Learning to ski and languages became my passions through university and into my Army career, where I trained to race (including Cyprus). I developed my off-piste skills touring in the Alps and Norway as a natural progression. The mountains are where I feel most connected with my surroundings, and I am looking forward to meeting the members of our club there to share some memorable experiences.
I was lucky enough to start skiing at the age of 11 and was hooked from the outset. I love the sense of freedom I find in the mountains and particularly enjoy heading off-piste on a sunny day. Any ski experience is enhanced by who you share it with and I look forward to meeting new friends with SCGB. I am a retired GP but now spend my time enjoying life; travelling with my family, playing average golf and skiing whenever possible!
I learnt to ski in Scotland age 7 and have skied with family and friends all over Europe. My kids are now at University – so I can ski more! My favourite runs are the wide black pistes at Hogegga in Trysil – groomed in the morning and bumpy by the afternoon, but I get equal pleasure from bouncing in fresh powder snow and am looking forward to sharing this joy with other keen skiers. In my day job I am a knee surgeon in Somerset and enjoy cycling, occasional golf, and keeping control of two very busy cocker spaniels.
Anyone that knows Obergurgl will know where my profile picture was taken. This was Christmas Day 2019.
I first skied in Obergurgl in 1990 and have been back nearly every year since, sometimes more than once. I'm looking forward to leading a holiday there this year and look forward yo skiing with new friends.
I love to ski so that's good then. Looking forward to getting back on the snow and feeling European again!! Being a Rep to me means visiting great resorts, getting to know ski mad members and showing them a good time on the slopes. I like bumps, I like steeps and I love powder. Whether cruising blues or descending reds, there is nothing I like more than the happy look on members faces after a good day on the snow. Seems I have only managed 4 stars which is not bad but want to go for the 5 star approval this year ;-)! Always good to have a goal. I am looking forward to meeting ski friends old and new!
Love being in the mountains and by the sea! Living on the south coast I get one but have to travel to the other! So skiing has always been a big part of my life, and through the Ski Club I have been able to enjoy most of the resorts in Europe, plus a few in the USA. Love cruising the pistes and morning hot chocs just as much as the gnarly steep stuff, preferably n the company of a group of like-minded members! Long may it continue!
