Situated in the spectacular Ötz Valley, Obergurgl is Austria's highest parish, meaning an excellent snow record and a very long ski season from November to May. The village remains largely unspoilt with a charming ambience and it is well known for its top quality hotels. Obergurgl and nearby Hochgurgl are linked by gondola and bus service and the are good facilities and pistes for beginners and intermediates. The lift system is modern and queues are small. The skiing and lifts start directly from the village, with skiing back at the end of the day to many of the hotels. For a spectacular view of the area, head for the 'Top Mountain Star' restaurant at 3082m. Nightlife and non-ski activities are mainly centred around the hotels, but also include a good variety of traditional après ski bars and restaurants.
