Pension Martinshof, Obergurgl

You'll find a nice buffet spread in the breakfast room each morning. Fresh bread, muesli, cold cuts and cheese all feature and eggs are on request. Of course you'll also be able to grab a fresh juice or tea and coffee. 

In the evening venture out and try one of the local restaurants. The Pizzeria Belmonte opposite is a popular choice. The Salt & Pepper Steakhouse is also only a couple minutes walk away serving local Tirolean cuts of meat cooked to order.

Gluten free and dairy free must be asked in advance. 

Perched at 1,930 metres above sea level, Obergurgl is one of the highest villages in the Alps, making it a fantastic choice for reliable snow throughout the ski season. The slopes cater to all abilities, with gentle nursery areas for beginners, scenic tree-lined runs and wide-open pistes that are ideal for confident cruisers. First-timers are in good hands thanks to the excellent local ski school, while younger skiers can enjoy fun slopes and mini jumps in the snow park.

Long before ski lifts arrived, Obergurgl was a thriving mountain village, and its centuries-old history is still evident today. An elegant 18th-century church and charming wooden buildings give the resort an authentic Alpine character. Accommodation is centred around high-quality hotels, many offering excellent facilities such as swimming pools and children's playrooms, with most located just a short walk from the lifts. Evenings are typically relaxed, with cosy dinners and drinks by the fire setting the tone. For those looking to experience the resort's famous après-ski scene, the Nederhütte bar is the place to be, where a lively house band takes to the stage each afternoon from 4pm, playing crowd-pleasing rock classics.

When you're ready for a break from skiing, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the mountains. Visit the horse riding centre at Edelweiss & Gurgl and saddle up for a session in the indoor arena – a fun and memorable change of pace.
