When the first snowflakes gently drift over the peaks of the Ötztal in November, a hotel comes to life in Obergurgl that has been combining Alpine tradition with the finest luxury for almost a century: the Hochfirst - The Luxury Mountain Resort. Located at 1,930 meters above sea level, it not only offers its guests direct access to one of the most snow-sure ski areas in the Alps, but also to a world in which exclusivity and originality meet in a unique way.
90 years ago, the Fender family laid the foundations for what is now a legendary retreat. Now run by the third and fourth generation, the Hochfirst bears the hallmark of a host family that combines the Alpine way of life with a contemporary interpretation of luxury. The style of the hotel remains consciously rooted in the chalet character, which radiates warmth and security without sacrificing sophisticated sophistication. The result is an atmosphere that is both cozy and sublime - perfect for moments that will remain in your memory and resonate far beyond your stay. 61 rooms and 22 suites provide the setting for a break that is more than just a stay. New highlights will be added to the ensemble at the start of the 2025 winter season: The Suite Royal with balcony and panoramic view promises retreat and elegance, while the Suite Royal Grand Deluxe with additional bedroom creates space for families. The Diamond Suite is the jewel in the crown - almost 100 m2 in size, framed by a 24 m2 balcony that makes the mountain world appear like an ever-changing painting. Here, the view opens up onto a winter wonderland that takes on different colors with every hour of the day - from the clear cold of the morning to the soft sunset that bathes the snow fields in delicate shades of pink.
But it's not just the rooms that make the Hochfirst a refuge for the senses. It is the interplay of culinary finesse, finely tuned service and a spa that becomes a realm of tranquillity with its 1,500 m2. Those who linger in the warm saunas, lose track of time in the steam bath or let their gaze wander over the white expanse in the outdoor pool will feel the luxury that cannot be bought, but only experienced: that of pausing for a moment. Exclusive treatments, such as the Japanese-inspired rituals by Sensai, set accents that touch both body and soul. And while the snow falls softly outside, the quiet magic that only places with a special aura can create unfolds inside.
The Hochfirst sees itself not only as a retreat, but also as a starting point. Ski-in/ski-out is not just a promise here, but an everyday experience. The feeder lift takes guests up to 3,080 meters - right into the heart of a ski area that delights with 112 kilometers of slopes, reliable snow conditions and freedom all along the line. No hustle and bustle, no endless waiting times, just the feeling of being almost alone in a vast winter wonderland. Those who make their tracks on the virgin slopes will feel why Gurgl has long been known as the "Diamond of the Alps".
For those who want to start their 5-star vacation as extraordinarily as it ends, the sky is also the limit: by private jet to Innsbruck, by helicopter directly to Ötztal - the Hochfirst accompanies its guests on the way to their retreat. A concierge service that conveys the feeling from the very first moment that every wish is heard here. Even the arrival becomes part of the story that every stay at the Hochfirst tells. And then there are the moments when the Hochfirst becomes a stage for Alpine history. When the world's best skiers plunge down the Kirchenkar slope at the Slalom World Cup on November 22 & 23, 2025, sport, tradition and luxury will come together to create an event that fills the mountains with life. For guests, this means Participation in an alpine spectacle that moves between precision and passion.
