Hotel Alpenaussicht, Obergurgl

Built into the hillside with incredible views over the Ötz valley, it’s no wonder the Hotel Alpenaussicht’s name translates to ‘Alp View’ in English. The traditional hotel is run by the Ribis family and is a firm favourite with Tyrolean locals for its impressive views and authentic food.

The quirky layout of the hotel makes the most of its surroundings with spacious rooms that look out onto the mountains. All rooms have a balcony or terrace, so early risers heading for the first ski lifts can enjoy the sunrise before hitting the slopes. You'll be based just 600 metres from the village centre and a short walk to the Wiesenlift drag lift and Festkoglbahn gondola.

The Alpenaussicht prides itself on providing locally-sourced and authentic food. There is nothing better to fuel a day on the slopes than a breakfast buffet of regional specialities and freshly baked bread. We love the fresh water available from the hotel’s very own rock spring or, when you’re looking for something a little stronger, head to the cocktail bar for a relaxing drink on the terrace.
