Staying safe at the E&G
Enjoy relaxing holidays in Obergurgl
As we prepare for the winter season, we are keeping a close eye on developments. We know that ski holidays are a special experience including fun on the slopes, fresh air and fine food. Here at the Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl, we are committed to giving every single guest an enjoyable and relaxing stay.
Winter breaks in Tyrol are all about spending time with those you love and enjoying the amazing region together. Our hotel's location at the end of the valey means the Edelweiss & Gurgl is an excellent place to get away from it all and get back to nature.
We promise our guests that the Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl and the Gletscherblick - serviced apartments are perfectly prepared for the coming winter season. The Scheiber family and the Edelweiss & Gurgl team fully support the measures taken by the government. In these challenging times it is particularly important for us to do everything in our power to restrict the spread of the Coronavirus – not only to protect our own health and that of our guests, but also to show solidarity with all members of society at increased risk.

Valid 2G proof is required to enter our hotel. However, face coverings must be worn in all generally accessible indoor areas of the hotel.

The hotel
Hygiene, responsibility & solidarity
The Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl offers plenty of space for all our guests. The large indoor and outdoor areas our hotel enjoys are particularly beneficial at this time. They means you can sit down and relax while maintaining a safe distance to other guests.

The obligation to present a valid 2-G certificate does not apply to children up to the age of 12.

Ski resort
Extra capacity on ski lifts & plenty of space on the slopes
Obergurgl-Hochgurgl has been known for years for its minimal queues at the ski lifts. The resort does not have many one-day visitors, especially at the moment. This means extra capacity on the lifts and slopes. As a result, it is easy to practise social distancing on the pistes and in the cable cars.
In order to enter huts and restaurants in the ski resort, a valid 2-G certificate is required. However, face coverings must be worn in all generally accessible indoor areas of the hotel.
