In Obergurgl, the luxurious Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl has direct access to slopes. Over in Sölden, the modern and stylish Das Central Hotel is a gateway to extensive skiing and vibrant après-ski. For glacier skiing, we recommend the thermal spa-equipped Hotel Alpenhof in Hintertux with its' perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
