Hotel Austria

One of Obergurgl’s top hotels, the Austria has everything you’d want from a ski stay. It’s moments to the nearest piste, and the food and facilities are first-class. Then there’s the excellent family-run service, with friendly, local staff that’ll make you feel at home from the moment you arrive.

The hotel itself has plenty of authentic Austrian charm, with panelled walls and chandeliers in the dining room adding a dash of style to the classic alpine look. The bedrooms in the main building have the same look and feel as the rest of the hotel, and in the connected annexe you've got a choice of more simply decorated rooms.

There’s no shortage of things to do here too. Families will love the games room, with its pool table and arcade games – and there’s even free childcare available, so you can enjoy a leisurely après while the kids are having fun. Or for some pampering, stroll over to the linked sister hotel – The Bellevue – to warm up in the sauna or soak up the views in the panoramic outdoor pool. And you could stop off at the nearby après bar on the way back.

Hungry? Mealtimes here are another highlight. There’s a varied menu each night, with traditional Tyrolean specialities and international dishes all on the menu.

All Summit stays are top-rated and have fab facilities and service, plus they’re in great locations too.
