 Poster: A snowHead
|
Decided that whilst the 4* half board hotel was a great idea the budget dictated an apartment (very central to Rosskarbahn/HoheMutbahn). Due to be there for 4 nights in December. We were there in the same apartments 5 years ago for 3 night but didn't really explore. If anyone knows if the bigger hotels allow non-residents to eat there/other options that would be really helpful. Remember there was a pizza/general restaurant but not even sure if that's still there and the Obergurgl website sparing on Info on this topic! Will be there by public transport so close to centre useful.
Many thanks

Late starter, in our (small) French resort there are two traiteurs where you can buy delicious, ready-made meals to take home. they are not cheap, compared to cooking for yourself, but a big saving on a restaurant bill. There might be something similar in Obergurgl.

Hi Pam
I have a feeling that's a French thing rather than an Austrian thing - tho I hope to stand corrected!!
Hope all well with you - nose has been far to close to grindstone for too long and Snowheads has not been on my radar! Still have fond memories of my stay with yourselves and subsequent trip to Les Saisies

Late starter, There are quite a few places to eat in the village centre and a few places a short walk away at the other end of town, nearer to the Festkogl gondola. Centrally, there's the Picnic restaurant opposite the Spar shop, the Hexenkuchl restaurant in the Jennewien hotel and the restaurant in the Hotel Mathieson. There's also a Pizzeria in the Hotel Madeline but I don't go there much as I've always found the service to be very slow. At the other end of town there's the Belmonte pizzeria which I go to a lot - it's next to the Hochfirst hotel. Between Belmonte and Festkogl there's Salt and Pepper restaurant which is quite new and always quiet but I always find that the food is good and not particularly expensive. Opposite the Hochfirst, next to the Alpen Aussicht hotel, is Krumpn's Stadl that always served nice food but was closed when I was there at Easter but may be open again in December.

Hi Late Starter
Please could you let me have the details of the self catering accomodation in Obergurgyl. We looked last year and all the self catering seemed quite pricey compared to the cheaper hotel packages.
For our last couple of ski holdays, we have taken posh ready meals out with us from COOK. You buy them frozen but they travel well and were still defrosting in the cool bag when we drove to France last year even with an overnight stop. When we arrive at the apartment, we just pop them in the fridge to carry on defrosting.
Some can only be cooked in the oven but most can microwave too. Self catering has never been so easy - they have everything from Curry to Shepherds pie to Beef Bourgninon ( which I cant spell but it does taste nice !)

IwishICouldThinkOfAFabNam, look at www.broser.cc no oven but does have microwave and 2 hot plates. We are flying to Innsbruck so thanks for the info on COOK but not sure they would survive the baggage handlers!

One option would be a short taxi ride down to Soelden where the restaurant choice is much bigger, and maybe a couple of drinks in the Soelden nightlife. Followed by a taxi ride home again. Cheaper option would be using the bus but they don´t run late in the evening to get back with. It would make a more expensive meal but a good fun evening. It´s only a 10-15 minute taxi ride.

I have stayed at both Edeweiss and Jenewein, right by the Rosskahrbann. From memory, both allow external guests to eat there but you might have to book. Jenewein has 2 seperate restaurants, one for hotel guest only and one for non-hotel guests. There are also a couple of restaurants right in the centre of the village, where I had lunch but I forgot the names.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Now back - from a somewhat unsnowy Obergurgl! For anyone who might find it helpful: Wed night we ate at Pizza Romantika (part of Hotel Madeleine) arrived 6.45 ish had to wait about 20-25 minutes for a table) Chalet caterers night off apparently so full and people arrived and tried for tables while we were there mostly with success after a wait. Service good though busy. Thurs to PIcNic - reserved for 6.30 and fine all evening. Friday to Graune Stuberl at Hotel Mathieson. Again booked late pm for 6.30 and no problem. Quiet when we arrived but pretty full by 8pm. Food good at all. Sat night back to Pizzeria - they only take bookings for 6pm so went for that. Busy again with people waiting for maybe 10-15 mins while we were there but generally getting tables. Would have tried Jenewien but happy with the options we found! With more self-catering accom now would suspect booking is generally good plan - and liked by orderly Austrian estabishments!

Late starter, hope you had a good time overall, shame about the snow. Staff in the Romantika always seemed to look overworked in the past.
