  • We are hopefully coming out to Obergurgl this weekend (fingers crossed for son's PCR on Friday). How is the village? Is it quieter? Are the restrictions very noticeable?

    Its about as busy as it gets right now but thats not saying much. No queues, pistes mostly clear. I struggle to think of a better resort to take a young family.

    Rent from Scheiber Sports...they store your skis and boots at the bottom of the lifts for you, provide a changing area and dry your boots overnight...for free. No hobbling around in boots. The others don't do that.

    Piste snow is in good shape from top to bottom.

    Apres ski bars are closed but restaurants are open. FFP2 masks are mandatory in huts, lifts and in communal areas in apartments/hotels. Other than that, I haven't noticed any restrictions.

    If you're looking for a very good instructor for your kids, I can highly recommend Maaike Wijts at the ski school. Super experienced and confidence building for new/nervous skiers.

  • Brilliant, was just interested in how the restrictions were working (looks like they’re due to ease a bit more next week).
    We’re been visiting in summer and winter since 2000. If you’re moving out the Ötztaler Rad Marathon is a great ride from Sölden.

    Ha, teaching grandma to suck eggs. Sorry about that. I bet the valley has changed a lot since 2000!

    Do you know a chalet called Hochegg? We'll be there all summer...i'll buy you a beer if you're in town!

    @hippy has some history on Passo Rombo/Timmelsjoch
