Ski Information Beginners
This is the ideal base for beginners with plenty of forgiving blue runs, some rising to almost 3,000m with spectacular views.
Ski Information Intermediates
Pistes on the Festkogl and Gaisberg in Obergurgl are mainly above the tree line and lead right down to the village. Experience some exciting tree skiing around the Steinmann lift, while Hochgurgl offers a variety of long challenging runs.
Ski Information Advanced
The area has some surprisingly good advanced skiing. The Höhe Mut is one of the Tirol's biggest bump runs. Sattel has some great off-piste and the exhilarating Festkogl ski route is steep and unforgettable in fresh powder. On the Hochgurgl side you can head for the Königstal for excellent off-piste or try the black runs down from the top of the Wurmkogl at 3082m.
Ski Information Snowboarding
The Obergurgl/Hochgurgl area is a little gem sat at high altitude. Beginners should take advantage of the spacious, quiet slopes, and for more advanced borders there are some good off-piste trails.
