Obergurgl is a perfect example of why it’s important to shop around for ski resorts.
While some dedicated fans of this Austrian resort love nothing better than its snowsure beginner and intermediate runs, expert skiers or those with a taste for a high level of nightlife will most likely find themselves bored here.
Obergurgl’s greatest attractions are its slopes and the thick blanket of snow that covers them every season.
Obergurgl consists of two large skiing resorts, Obergurgl and Hochgurgl, which are connected by an eight-seater gondola that opens the magnificent view on the Ferwalltal and the Königstal. The resort includes 110 kilometers (68 miles) of north and south exposed alpine trails of which 35 kilometers (22 miles) are beginner, 55 kilometers (34 miles) intermediate, and 20 kilometers (13 miles) are expert.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is built around the highest mountain in Germany, the Zugspitze, with an altitude of 2,962 meters (8,832 feet). The top of the mountain is actually a glacier with amazing ski terrain for advanced skiers ranging from bowls to natural, ungroomed drops. There?s ample opportunity for leisurely, intermediate skiing on the 75 miles of trails in the resort.
The area is rich in history and culture. Local people often dress in traditional styles (without being paid to do so by the tourist board!) and many of the older buildings are decorated with beautiful frescoes. The apres-ski is what makes this place a world-class resort. Not only does it have a degree of charm other resorts lack, but this place was made for fun.
