Obergurgl

Sat · Sölden, 🇦🇹 Austria

Obergurgl is a village at about 1,930 m in the Ötztal Alps, and it is known as the highest parish village in Austria. It lies at the end of the Gurgler valley, a branch of the Ötztal, surrounded by glaciers and peaks over 3,000 m.

The village is small and sits high, so snow comes early and lasts long. With neighbouring Hochgurgl it forms a ski area, and in summer it is a base for high mountain walks.

Obergurgl was a remote farming hamlet for centuries, cut off by snow. In 1931 the Swiss scientist Auguste Piccard landed his stratosphere balloon on the nearby glacier after a record flight. Skiing made the village known from the 1930s, and it is now one of the high resorts of the Ötztal.
