welcome to the "Das Apart Rauch" in Obergurgl
The "Apart Rauch", awarded 4 Edelweiss, is located in the beautiful and snow-sure town of Obergurgl at 1905 meters just a few steps
from the center and the ski area.
The small and cozy town, also called the "Diamond of the Alps", has fewer than 400 inhabitants and is located at the very end of the Tyrolean Ötztal surrounded by 21 three-thousanders.
The fact that the town is at an altitude of 1900 m above sea level is one of the factors why Obergurgl is one of the snowiest towns and ski areas in Europe.
What sets this winter sports resort apart is that there are no waiting times at the ski lifts.
This is possible because Obergurgl hardly has any day tourists and the lifts, with a capacity of 33,000 people per hour, transport a maximum of 6,000 skiers per day without delay to the over 120 km of groomed slopes. Furthermore, in the immediate vicinity is the Sölden ski area with its 2 glaciers and over 150 kilometers of groomed slopes, which can also be accessed with the Gurgl lift ticket (from 3 days).
