For corporate event planners looking to organise a meeting event in Obergurgl, there is a fantastic range of venues in the resort and on the mountains, in Obergurgl, Sölden and the wider Ötztal valley.
Located at the southern end of the Ötztal valley, on the border with Italy, Obergurgl offers some of the best high-altitude skiing in the region. Stunning views, varied terrain, snow-sure slopes, and a fantastic, modern ski lift system.
Famed for its sparsely populated slopes, Obergurgl is an intermediate skier's dream, with wide slopes and metres of natural snowpack. With skiing to over 3000m, powder snow often blankets the off-piste terrain.
Convenience is another huge plus point for company ski trips, with many of the hotels and the central area of Obergurgl all slope-side and with immediate access to the ski lift system.
For corporate event planners looking for the ultimate in convenience, Hochgurgl, the satellite resort of Obergurgl, is located at a whopping 2150m and is fully ski-in / ski-out, with several large hotels.
Sölden is located just down the valley and offers superb, additional ski terrain on the shared Ötztal ski pass. Twin glaciers, almost 2km of vertical and varied terrain make Sölden one of the best Austrian ski destinations.
The lower slopes of Obergurgl offer some great mountain huts to dine and après ski in – a must for any corporate ski event. The Nederhütte has live music and pumping après ski.

The destination of Obergurgl is made up of the resorts of Obergurgl and Hochgurgl, located at 1930m and 2150m respectively at the southern end of the Ötztal valley. South of Obergurgl are peaks, glaciers & the Italian border.
Obergurgl has a compact centre with several large hotels sited around the resort's hub, where the shops, bars, restaurants, conference centre, and ski lifts are located. Obergurgl is as convenient as ski resorts get.
The cluster of central hotels offers multiple ski-in / ski-out and slope-side options with slopes running the length of the resort and ski lifts leaving just steps from the village centre.
Obergurgl is pure winter wonderland, - at nearly 2km above sea level, the surroundings are rugged and snowbound for much of the year. The village is also calm and traffic-free with the road extending no further south.
A state-of-the-art conference centre is now located in the heart of the village – the Gurgl Carat is a stunning contemporary structure and is the highest conference centre in the Alps – the media screen is truly something else.
Hochgurgl is an alternative option, offering the chance to host corporate ski trips in an entirely ski in, ski out satellite village, the second highest resort in the Alps at 2150m.
With some of the heavyweights of global après ski in the region, Obergurgl somewhat flies under the radar for après ski. However, Obergurgl offers some quality après ski – a key ingredient for any corporate ski trip and a sure way to write new chapters of company folklore.
The highlight of après ski in Obergurgl must surely be a session at the Nederhütte – a rustic hut on the lower slopes of the ski area with live music and very attentive bar staff.
For those on an Obergurgl corporate ski trip, wanting to test themselves in the premier league of après ski, Sölden lies in wait just north of the village. Sölden après ski is on another level to all but a handful of resorts in the Alps – it’s a beast.
Sölden also hosts the Electric Mountain Festival and the opening and closing parties – gatherings rich in vistas, sounds and après ski intemperance.
The recent addition of the Gurgl Carat to the heart of Obergurgl village has transformed the resort into a key conference destination. State-of-the-art facilities, a stunning modern design and a must-see-to-believe video wall are genuine conference highlights.
The highest conference centre in the Alps, breakouts from the Gurgl Carat can include gondola meetings and sessions high on the peaks above Obergurgl. Hotel and University of Innsbruck venues are also available for meeting events in Obergurgl.
Sölden offers further options for meeting & seminar venues, both on the mountain and in the resort. One of the most striking meeting venues is located on the peak of the Gaislachkogel, at the IceQ complex, as featured in the 007 film Spectre.
Heading further north beyond Sölden, the Aquadome is another option for meetings and conferences. One of the best thermal spas in the Alps, the Aquadome has an adjoining hotel and conference suite with super-stylish interiors & breakouts in the spa.
