Have been three times now and really like this resort. It has a nice feel to it in a traditional way but modern too. So much nicer than Solden down the road. It’s more older and family focused I would say. Having said that, the bus service that runs around the resort and back to Solden is very good. So, if you fancy it, you can go there too; takes about 20 mins. I would say Obergurgl and Hochgurgl are intermediate and above level. They are not good for beginners. Yes, the piste map is covered with blue runs. But, as with other Austrian resorts I have been to, I would say they are more red than blue in places. There is also plenty of easy access off-piste to have a go at. Most just on the edges of runs. Snow was excellent being a high resort and has kept well where other lower resorts this season (2024) had suffered. I preferred the Hochgurgl side so if you get the choice then get a hotel that side. However, it is easy just to catch the many busses ( 5 mins) down the road to the Hochgurgl lift from Obergurgl or a slightly longer route is the ski down from the top to the lift that crosses the valley between the two. The motorcycle museum is a must see too while you are there and excellent place to stop for lunch. If you’ve not tried this resort then I would highly recommend. With a short transfer time from Innsbruck it is also a great choice for a short break. We went Wednesday to Sunday, which worked well as Saturday is the change over day and quite on the slopes.
