Hochgurgl Ski Holidays
Ski Holidays in Hochgurgl
Hochgurgl is one of Austria’s highest ski villages, sitting at 2,150m near the end of the Ötztal Valley and forming part of the snow-sure Gurgl ski area with Obergurgl. The wider area has 112km of slopes, with skiing from 1,800m to 3,030m, and is usually open from mid-November to late April, giving it one of the most reliable non-glacier seasons in Austria. The pistes are well-groomed, uncrowded and especially good for beginners and intermediates.
Hochgurgl is smaller and quieter than Obergurgl, with many of its hotels offering ski-in-ski-out access. Rather than a busy village centre, it’s a good place to stay for a holiday focused around the slopes, good food and quieter nights. And you can always head down to its larger neighbour if you fancy a livelier evening.
