About Obergurgl-Hochgurgl
Obergurgl-Hochgurgl sits at the end of the Ötztal valley at 1,930m — the highest parish in Austria — in a deliberately compact resort that prioritises snow quality above all else. With a remarkably consistent snow record and skiing that rarely drops below 2,000m, it is one of the few Austrian resorts where the ski season reliably runs from November to late April, making it popular with early and late-season visitors and those who prefer quality terrain over vast ski domains.
