Obergurgl, a superb resort for Early and Late season skiing. Obergurgl has excellent early and late season skiing with top to bottom skiing possible when many other famous resorts are offering grass skiing. The season runs from mid-November to early May and The Chalet at 11 º Easts team usually ski every day of the season to test the conditions out! This year is even more amazing because of the massive dump of snow that we had in early December which created a really big good base. I would not be surprised if one can’t ski into May this year. Easter comes rather late, so the huge snowfall is more than welcome.

luxury ski resorts obergurgl Our favorite ski runs in Obergurgl: All the runs in chalet Obergurgl are exhilarating but the Chalet at 11º East team have a penchant to warming up on Piste 16 off the Steinmann lift or on the T-Bar in Festkogel, followed by a blast down 12 which leads to the horizontal bubble going to Hochgurgl. In Chalet Hochgurgl, a little-known favorite is the number 32, which few other than the locals have discovered, so it’s a quiet backwater perfect for some stylish skiing and can be followed by a steep ski down from the Schermerbahn on 28 or from the Top Mountain Star (no. 27). One can ski from above 3,000 m all the way down to the valley of Pill/ Untergurgl without stopping, a change in height of 1200 m.


Not to be missed is the piste favored by the US Ski Team for their training – this is underneath the new Kirchenkar gondola. The team are excited to try out the new pistes and super-fast gondola built during the summer which will rise to over 3,000 m above Hochgurgl. Original Source :- Ski Chalet Obergurgl
