Edelweiss & Gurgl: Frequently Asked Questions
How close is it to the lift?
Edelweiss & Gurgl is built on the slope, and an internal escalator carries guests from the ski cellar up to the lift station, so boots stay on for the whole walk.
Who is it aimed at?
Edelweiss & Gurgl positions itself at families and couples who want short lift access rather than late-night bars, which suits the quiet character of Obergurgl.
What can you ski from the door?
From Edelweiss & Gurgl the full 112 km of Obergurgl-Hochgurgl is reachable, with pistes running up to around 3,080 m and 21 peaks above 3,000 m in view.
When is the best time to book?
Because Edelweiss & Gurgl is one of the few true ski-in, ski-out addresses in the village, Christmas, New Year and February half term weeks go first, often a year ahead.
How does it compare with a five-star hotel in the village?
Edelweiss & Gurgl trades a little formality for slope-side convenience, so it beats village-centre five-star houses on lift access and loses to them on spa scale.
