Freeride and Off-Piste Zones Gurgl
Obergurgl-Hochgurgl is a true freeride paradise, offering extensive and varied off-piste terrain for experienced skiers and snowboarders. From wide open powder fields to challenging couloirs, the areas around Wurmkogel, Schermerspitze, and Festkogl provide incredible opportunities for deep snow adventures. Designated freeride routes are often monitored for avalanche risk, and local mountain guides are available for guided tours, ensuring safety and revealing the best hidden spots. Proper avalanche safety equipment (transceiver, shovel, probe) and knowledge are essential. The Gurgl Freeride Park offers a secured zone to practice jumps and tricks. Availability is entirely dependent on snow conditions and avalanche warnings, typically best after fresh snowfall during the winter season.
