If you're just starting out, Hochgurgl's got you covered. The Mahdstuhl nursery slopes below Obergurgl village are a beginner's paradise, with 16 slopes included in the lift pass. Plus, some of these slopes go up to nearly 3,000 meters, offering stunning views as you learn.

Intermediate skiers will feel right at home here. Take the Festkogel and Gaisberg pistes for treeless runs right down to the village. If you're looking for variety, Hochgurgl brings in a mix of challenging runs, especially those reached by the Kirchenkarbahn Sektion II, where a range of blues and reds await you at 2,840m.

Don't be fooled by its quiet demeanor; Hochgurgl packs a punch for advanced skiers. From the mega bumps on the Hohe Mut to the challenging Festkogl ski route, there's plenty of excitement. Over on the Hochgurgl side, Konigstal and the black runs from Wurmkogl at 3,082m promise some excellent off-piste action.

It's a mixed bag for boarders. You won't have to contend with many drag lifts, but if you're looking for a challenge, you might find the terrain a bit too easy-going. On the plus side, there are snow parks that offer some variety.

Freeriders, welcome to your haven. Sattel and Festkogl ski routes offer steep, fresh powder, while various side valleys bring even more off-piste options. However, going it alone isn't recommended—better to hire a local guide to show you the more demanding routes.

Families will find Hochgurgl pretty exclusive, offering more of a chilled, intimate vibe than a bustling kids' paradise. With a focus on skiing, there's less in the way of children's activities. However, you could hit the Motorcycle Museum for some unexpected fun or try out snowshoe walking for a different type of adventure. Overall, it's a quieter spot ideal for families who prefer a low-key atmosphere.

Nightlife is low-key, so if you're expecting wild après-ski parties, you might be disappointed. However, if a relaxed evening suits you, check out Toni's Alpine Hut for a cozy atmosphere and a game of 'Nagelstock'. Top Mountain Star offers an elevated bar experience—literally, at 3,000m—with unmatched mountain views. Putt-In-Bar combines indoor golf with stunning vistas for a unique night out.
