About Obergurgl
Ok so here’s one of the best things about Obergurgl in a nutshell – you will almost never, ever find yourself having to queue for a lift at any time of the day. The lifts in service can carry a staggering 40,000 people per hour and this is at least four times the average number of skiers on the slopes at once – for those that hate waiting in lines it’s pure Heaven! As far as the slopes go, there are 39 pistes to choose from and a total of 110km of downhill skiing – all of which ranges from the safe and simple right through to the suicidal. No matter what your skill level, you’ll be spoilt for choice like you never imagined! It’s not the place to head for throbbing and thumping nightlife, but there’s still more than a fair scattering of bars, pubs and clubs to keep you busy come nightfall.

There are plenty of scheduled Obergurgl resort transfer services running from here all through the season. If you have more time to play with though, you could look a little further afield to Memmingem or Bolzano to try and score some cheap seats in return for stomaching a slightly longer transfer.
