Few alpine valleys have as much to offer a guest as the Ötz Valley in Tyrol: kilometres of piste en masse and for all abilities, very modern lift systems, 150 kilometres of cross-country tracks and around 250 mountains looming at 3000 m throughout the Ötz Vally Alps - skiers' pulses will certainly race! Additionally, there are 200 km of cleared winter hiking trails, rustic huts and in the evenings - depending on taste - an upbeat mood in the numerous discos and bars, a fun sledding party or night skiing... The nice thing about the Ötz Valley's diversity is the selection. Quaint winter villages, the most prominent winter sports resorts, and not least the Aqua Dome, which promises rest and relaxation - all tastes are catered for here!
High snow-security from November to May, pistes above the timberline, an impressive panorama of the surrounding mountains and the latest snow machines … these are just a few of the many reasons to go for a holiday in Obergurgl-Hochgurgl! The two, rather calm villages Obergurgl (1,930 m) and Hochgurgl (2,150 m) are to be found at the end of the Ötz Valley on the high alpine road to the Timmelsjoch. In the midst of this beautiful mountain scenery quality beats quantity – especially in Hochgurgl: The exclusive hotel village is made up of just six hotels. Obergurgl is traffic-reduced, at night all driving is completely forbidden! Doorstep skiing is possible in both resorts. The landscape is marked by the surrounding glacier scenery and the impressive mountain views. Obergurgl is not just the highest situated church village in Austria, the ski area is deemed one of the best for snow, due to its exposed location. The atmosphere here is very quaint and the villages are renowned for their hut tradition with evenings spent in the huts and après ski.
