 Poster: A snowHead
|
This is a follow up to my posts "Zell am See with a 4 year old" and "Saas Fee with a 5 year old" - this year family trip is to Obergurlg and I am soooo excited. Staying at Hotel Lohmann beginning of April.
Daughter does ski school on dry slope at home for most of year, which means we can spend some time on the mountain together instead. Will offer her ski school this year anyway, as might be fun for her. Any recommendations?
Looks to me like the whole mountain is accessible on blue runs, which should let us tour properly as a family. Is it as easy as that though?
Anyone know if the runs back to village are really open in April? Any other tips for a family friendly holiday there would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

It is a very high resort village, so i cant see why runs wouldnt be open, but I havnt been there for about 20 years - I learned to ski there and have very happy memories.

I went on a last minute (old)  boys trip back in January , stayed at the Lohmann, friendly staff ,clean , good food + free drinks with the evening meal (alcoholic or soft). There is a childrens play room , but I have no idea what is actually in there.There is also a Sauna and solarium . As far as the Mountain is concerned the Hochgurgl side has the nicer runs IMO. Hopefully if I've done this correctly , this link will take you to a previous Obergurgl thread

Agree with Ian L about Hochgurgl side better for beginners. If the run to the cable car to get to Hochgurgl is a bit steep for some of your family there is a (free) bus service. As the Lohmann is literally on the main road it will be very quick to walk to the bus (or anywhere else in town for that matter).
