Though the summer has just arrived, if you’re an avid skier, you may already be mapping out your next winter vacation. When planning where to spend your beloved time on the slopes, your checklist likely includes items like a great ski chalet, amazing ski and snowboard trail, lots of snow, fantastic après ski culture and a traffic free environment. If that sounds about right then look no further than Obergurgl for your ultimate winter Ski Chalets Solden experience.
Obergurgl has been a popular destination for winter activities for decades. Located in the beautiful Ötztal Valley in Austria, the high altitude village boasts some of the best snow on record and less traffic than luxury ski resorts in the nearby villages, Solden and St Anton. Staying at one of the many ski chalets in Obergurgl will give you immediate access to all you need: powder snow, trails for all ski levels, delicious restaurants and links to the higher village of Hochgurgl. If you are not a skier but still love visiting luxury ski resorts, fear not, other activities are at your fingertips. From the steps of your ski chalet you can enjoy winter walks, snow shoeing, Nordic skiing, indoor horseback riding or take the gondola to Hochgurgl for a picturesque view of the valley.
