Obergurgl and Hochgurgl share one of the highest ski areas in Austria. Set in the spectacular Oetz Valley, the slopes reach over 3000m, resulting in reliable snow conditions from as early as November to as late in the season as May. Both areas, linked by a gondola and bus service, have developed from farming settlements into quality resorts offering convenient, high altitude skiing. Obergurgls resort centre has little traffic and numerous shops, cafés, restaurants and bars, many of which have a great atmosphere at the end of the day. Obergurgl does not promise to be one of Austrias liveliest resorts though live music is not unusual in some of the bars later on in the evenings. Hochgurgl is no more than a cluster of quality hotels set on the mountainside offering superb convenience for the slopes and a relaxing mountain base. These resorts attract a loyal following of beginners, intermediates and families every winter thanks to snowsure slopes, great quality accommodation and a relaxed resort atmosphere.
