Uniqueness
Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl sits directly on the ski slopes of Obergurgl, one of Austria's highest ski villages. Glacier views fill the windows. The Zirben Alm, a stone pine alpine hut, stands on the grounds. Riding stables and the Ramolhaus mountain refuge extend the property into the surrounding peaks.
The same family has run this hotel since 1889. Over 130 years of continuous hospitality shape every detail, from the Fondue Restaurant to the Bar & Fireside Lounge. The Gletscherblick Apartments add glacier-view accommodation for longer stays. This is Alpine hosting built on generations, not trends.
