Obergurgl

Obergurgl sits in the Gurglertal valley in Tyrol, Austria, where the Gurgler Ache runs beneath the high summits of the Ötztal Alps. At 1,930 metres, the settlement ranks among Austria’s highest year-round villages and stands near the route towards the Timmelsjoch pass on the Italian border. Its high-altitude setting also supports alpine science: the University of Innsbruck operates the Alpine Research Centre Obergurgl here. Hiking routes and ski lifts lead into the surrounding mountain terrain, while the seasonal pass road reinforces the area’s remote character.
