Your hosts Tanja and Lukas Scheiber as well as the whole team here at the Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl take pride in providing guests with an unforgettable holiday experience, from friendly and professional service from the moment you arrive to light, spacious and modern rooms & suites in the heart of the Alps. The hotel has been run by the Scheiber family for four generations now, meaning we have the benefit of many decades of experience welcoming guests from around the world.
Our roots in the Ötztal Valley run deep. We and our dedicated team of staff are happy and honoured to be a part of this beautiful alpine region and strive to make it a little bit better every day by making our guests feel at home.
In 1881 Martin Scheiber created the first alpine refuge in the Ötztal Valley: the Ramolhaus at 3,006 metres above sea level. At the same time he started planning the construction of a new guesthouse called the "Edelweiss" in Obergurgl. Martin Scheiber would go on to build a number of huts in the Ötztal Valley before the turn of the century on behalf of the Austrian Alpine Association, thereby laying the foundations for tourism in the region.
As well as decades of experience and a gentuinely warm welcome, our friendly and professional staff here at the Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl are a key part of making your stay an unforgettable experience. We aim to make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. If there is anything you need or any questions you have, please do not hesitate to speak to one of our members of staff at reception. They will be happy to help.
Our motto is Remarkable Moments. Depending on what you are looking for, that can be anything from adrenaline-pumping adventures high in the Alps to relaxing evenings with close friends and family in the hotel.
A core aspect of our philosophy right from the start in 1889 has been respect for nature. We are happy and proud to live in a place as special as the Ötztal Valley. Preserving this outstanding natural beauty for guests staying at our hotel as well as future generations is of great importance to us.

Here at the Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl we are proud of what we have achieved over the last 130 years. At the same time, we certainly aren't going to sit back and rest on our laurels. Maintaining and improving on the outstanding quality we have built up over the decades is essential in order to offer every single guest a special holiday experience. Quality-assurance measures at the E&G include staff-led checks and mystery guest visits. We take time to read comments by our guests and take them very seriously. "We also use online tools as well such as rating platforms. These are important sources of information for us. We take this feedback on board and try to reply to as many comments as possible," says Lukas Scheiber.
During the winter months, Lukas can often be found out and about in the ski resort personally checking the pistes and the huts: "These are important elements of the overall impression guests have of Obergurgl and the valley. That is why I often hit the slopes and take a look for myself to see if everything is up to the usual standard. If there are any shortcomings, I will have a chat with the person in charge to see if we can find a solution."
“As a hotel boss, I like having people with strong opinions who, in some cases, are better qualified than me in their respective areas. I want people with initiative and new ideas. Those are vital to enable a hotel like ours to grow.”
Zahlreiche Gäste, Wegbegleiter und Freunde aus aller Welt haben das Edelweiss & Gurgl mitgeprägt – durch Begegnungen, Gespräche und viele gemeinsame Jahre. Dafür sind wir dankbar.
Übrigens: Im selben Jahr wie unser Haus – 1889 – wurde auch der Eiffelturm eröffnet. Zwei Bauwerke, ein gemeinsames Versprechen: Bestand mit Charakter.
The Scheiber family and the whole team at the hotel look forward to welcoming you the beautiful Ötztal Valley.
