Holidays to Obergurgl are a fairy tale fantasy, with peaceful mountain views and Austria's finest spa hotels.

Peaceful perfection

Summers in Obergurgl are pure mountain bliss – pack up a picnic and scale the mountains for a bite to eat and an epic view. This village in Austria's Tyrol region is chock full of walking trails – complete with local wildlife – as well as quaint cafés sprinkled along its streets.

Waterfall wading

Tyrol's second-largest waterfall, Stuibenfall, is about an hour's drive outside the village and has paddling opportunities aplenty. The air's clean and the views are a dream – but there's always the motorbike museum at Top Mountain Crosspoint if you want a little less nature and a little more horsepower.

Spa soaks

Obergurgl's got relaxation down – with spectacular spas and landscapes to match. Sink into a bubbling hot tub while you soak up the mountainous views. If you want to touch the peaks, catch a chair-lift or gondola in the summer to hop to the top with ease.

    Top things to see and do in Obergurgl

    Take your pick

    Obergurgl has a few bathing lakes and beaches in the area, which are accessible by public transport or by hiring a car. From the small, family-friendly places to paddle at Lake Umhausen, to the big, action-packed, adventure beach at Area 47.

    Lake Umhausen & Lake Piburger See

    Lake Umhausen sits directly opposite a relaxed pizzeria and is great for kids to run around. There’s a small patch of sand and plenty of grassy lawns to play on. Or you could make your way to Lake Piburger See in the Ötz valley. It’s one of warmest bathing lakes in Tyrol and has row boats available for hire.

    Area 47

    For a beach day with a side of thrills, visit Area 47 - a huge natural swimming lake in a beautiful forest space, with off-road trails, canyoning, white water rafting, diving and other outdoor activities.

    Lively Evenings

    There are very few bars open around town in the summer, but you can enjoy a quiet drink in many of the hotels.

    Laid-Back Evenings

    Obergurgl is a pretty, high altitude village so there are lots of views to take in, especially as the sun sinks down.

    Eating out

    Obergurgl has a lot to offer when it comes to food. From pizzerias and mountain huts to award-winning restaurants, you’ll always be able to try something new and different. And whether your’re 3,000m above sea level, or low down in the valley, you’re bound to find somewhere that steals your heart. Unfortunately, a lot of the mountain huts are closed during the summer months, but don’t fret as there are still lots of other places on offer.

    Grab a slice at Restaurant Pic-Nic

    This traditional restaurant's got a real rustic feel, with it's wooden decor and random Alpine items hanging from the ceiling. They serve classic Austrian dishes, but the pizzas here are the real highlight.

    Homemade history at Sahnestuberl

    Down in the valley is the truly unique Sahnestuberl, a tiny, rustic hut with stunning views. The owners, Peter and Ingrid, have run the hut for over 20 years and today are still cooking up some delicious, homemade dishes.
