ÖTZTAL INFORMATION GURGL -> Gaisberg -> Kressbrunnen -> Verwallbrücke -> Poschach -> Seenplattenweg -> Zentrumsgarage -> ÖTZTAL INFORMATION GURGL
Gurgl. Alpine time-out. Away from the hustle and bustle. Outdoors in nature. That is relaxation and recovery. Gurgl is the opposite of everyday life. Clear your mind by hiking, mountaineering, climbing, and biking. High alpine regions are quickly reached. Go and see. Hike and feel (well). Wellness indoors and outdoors in nature. Enjoy the high quality of hotels and restaurants. Another world. In Gurgl, time does not stand still. In Gurgl, time does not pass more slowly. But Gurgl is time that remains.

You head towards Gaisberg, and pass above the Roßkarbahn in the direction of Sölden. You follow this path to the outskirts of Obergurgl. At the Mühle Resort hotel, cross the street and shortly thereafter the Ache. After the Poschacher Hof, head alongside the Ochsenkopf back to Obergurgl up to the Gurgl information point.
