The Ski Area

With a good number of blue and red runs, Obergurgl is a perfect resort for skiers and snowboarders wanting to improve their technique. The vast amount of wide, gentle terrain allows skiers of all abilities to make the most of the ski area, with high quality local ski schools on hand for expert tuition.

The ski area here is particularly enjoyed by families, who can enjoy the various funparks and beginner zones, as well as the many off piste opportunities for mum and dad. There’s never been a better place to work on your powder technique!
