Hochgurgl Reviews

Great family skiing

Reviewed 9 Jun 2015

We had an absolutely great week in all respects, apart from the weather… it snowed the entire week and one day nearly all of the lifts were shut. The good thing about this resort (apart from it being snow sure!) is that there’s a vast expanse of runs. Grown-ups who have been to the French Alps and skied types of areas like the Trois Vallees would probably be bored, but it’s great for families: There’s no queuing for lifts and I like that the kids get up on the mountain, instead of being stuck in ski school at the bottom.
The restaurants on the mountain are really good. There are local buses that take you down to Obergurgl (every 10 minutes) if you want shops and restaurants, although the shopping isn’t all that.
Access from the airport is very easy, we had a private transfer which took about an hour and a half.
Couples or groups wanting somewhere with a buzz after dinner probably wouldn’t like it here, but for families it’s great.
