End of the ski season in the Obergurgl-Hochgurgl ski area
Hochgurgl and Obergurgl announce the end of the ski season. Obergurgl is due to close as early as April 20, and Hochgurgl on April 27. Obergurgl and Hochgurgl are part of the world-famous Tyrolean Sölden ski area. Sölden is considered Austria’s second most important tourism destination. Obergurgl-Hochgurgl offer 110 kilometres of pistes for all ability levels – 20 km of black (difficult), 55 km of red (intermediate) and 35 km of blue (easy) runs.
Intermediate runs for experienced skiers can be found on Obergurgl’s Festkogel and the Schwermerspitzen run in Hochgurgl. The steep Hohe Mut run in Obergurgl is a challenge for expert skiers and the resort’s most difficult descent. Hochgurgl also has the mogul run on Top Wurmkogl II. At 8 km, the Wurmkogl Obergurgl Pill is the longest run. It’s convenient for a ski holiday that almost all the runs end in the village.

The Obergurgl-Hochgurgl ski area is considered the most snow-sure in the Alps. 90% of the runs are covered with computer-controlled snowmaking, adjusted to humidity and temperature. This means you can expect excellent skiing conditions.
The ski area has 3 new gondola lifts: the Top Schermer Bahn 3000, the Gaisbergbahn Hochgurgl and the Hohe Mut Bahn Obergurgl. The Top Schermer Bahn 3000 has heated gondolas.
Hohe Mut is one of Tyrol’s most attractive viewpoints. The panorama takes in 21 majestic peaks over 3,000 metres high. It is particularly impressive from the nearly 500-square-metre sun terrace at Hohe Mut Alm. The new Hohe Mut Alm mountain restaurant welcomes ski holidaymakers with excellent cuisine.
The panoramic view from the Top Mountain Star on Hochgurgl’s Wurmkogl is also breathtaking. The viewing platform at an altitude of over 3,000 m offers a wonderful panorama, from the Ötztal Alps to the Dolomites.
