It is not for nothing that it has the reputation of being the most snow-sure ski area in the Alps - the high altitude and state-of-the-art snow-making facilities speak for themselves! 99% of the pistes can be covered with artificial snow, meaning that the lifts are in operation from November to May!

Hochgurgl is particularly suitable for beginners with its wide, flat slopes. Obergurgl is more challenging, but also has some blue pistes.

The "Top Mountain Crosspoint" is well worth a visit.
