Poster: A snowHead
|
I have been to Obergurgl many times and also worked a complete season there, however, the last visit was 17 years ago. One of my favourite places there was the bar in the Hotel Josl called the Josl Keller which was open immediately after skiing and went on until late into the night - it was a great place. I know that the Josl Hotel has been completely rebuilt and whilst it seems quite nice it is far too modern for my liking and nothing like the traditional type of hotel Austrian resorts are renowned for. Anyway, my question is about the bar or should I say the Keller, does it still have excellent apres ski, is it still the place to go to? If not, can someone advise on the current apres ski bars etc in Obergurgl please?
Please note, I never subscribed to the idea that Obergurgl was not that great for apres ski as in my opinion is was the best I had ever encountered and I was someone who loved apres ski. But of course places change and so that is why I need an update.

Relax @waitrose, it's still the same. The Keller was untouched by the refurb.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I have had a reply to an email from the Josl Hotel and they tell me that the Josl Keller opens at 9pm which is a very significant change to how it used to be as it opened about 4pm. This means it cannot be described as an apres ski place anymore which in my view is a great shame.

The Nederhutte is simply the best with live music most evenings from 4 p m and free schnapps trays are passed round - if you overindulge they will take you down on a snowmobile for free!!

Yes I am fully aware of the Nederhutte, but in my opinion it is not as good as the Josl Keller once was and that is why I asked the question.

Sorry, @waitrose, I was still in the Nederhutte then! I've just seen the other thread you have kicked off. Why not look at doing immediate après at Nederhutte or Davide's Hutte which you could combine with supper (don't forget the Picnic in town either) and then head for some Josliing?

Hi Steve Sparks, a good suggestion but I am really not a fan of drinking and skiing - yes I know you can get the rattrack down but knowing my group that ain't gonna happen! My idea was to stay in the Hotel Josl and use their keller bar as we did many years' ago. Oh well, will have to find another venue. Thanks for you suggestion.
