Winter holidays instead of ski holidays

Fun and activities for non-skiers in Gurgl

Visitors to the winter wonderland around the Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl don't necessarily need skis or a snowboard for a great time. There are plenty of alternative activities away from the slopes in winter such as tobogganing and snowshoe walking. Or why not simply stay in the hotel and make the most of the facilities or head out and explore the region? While everyone else is out on the slopes, you will have the spa at the Edelweiss & Gurgl more or less to yourself. And in the evening, when everyone is back at the hotel, there is plenty of time for a fondue for all the family. Here are some top ideas on alternative winter holiday activities in Obergurgl and Hochgurgl.

This is how the day begins

Breakfast with a view of the mountains

A winter morning at Edelweiss & Gurgl begins with peace, warmth, and breakfast with a view of the snow-covered three-thousand-meter peaks all around.

Regional, varied, and as enjoyable as a winter morning should be.

All by itself

Relaxation in the Glacier SPA

While others are on the slopes, the Glacier SPA is almost entirely yours.

Gentle warmth, soothing silence, and alpine views make every moment special.

Footprints in the snow

Hiking on winter trails

Experience the quiet side of winter on winter hikes along cleared trails or on guided snowshoe tours around Obergurgl.

Slow down, enjoy the views, and escape the hustle and bustle.

History in the present

Culture with vision

From the futuristic motorcycle museum to the mountain chapel: in Gurgl, Alpine history meets architecture and panoramic views.

Ideal for a winter excursion—even in bad weather.

Winter travel

Sledding & stopping for refreshments

The Zirben Alm and Hohe Mut Alm are also accessible without skis and invite you to take a break and enjoy the view.

Those looking for more action will find it on the 3 km long Hochgurgl natural toboggan run – including night tobogganing and a stop at the Downhill Grill.

Winter without skis

More versatile than expected

At Edelweiss & Gurgl, your winter vacation becomes a multifaceted break—even off the beaten track. Between being active, leaning back, and browsing for inspiration, every moment is well spent.

Quiet evenings

That's how the day ends

fondue in the lounge, a glass of wine by the fireplace—and finally time for each other.

This is how a winter day at Edelweiss & Gurgl comes to a stylish and relaxed end.

“The silence of the snow, a good conversation, a warm spot by the window—for many, that is the true luxury of winter.”
