    Gurgl. Alpine getaway. Away from the hustle and bustle. Outside in nature. That is relaxation and recreation. Gurgl is the opposite of everyday life. Clear your head while hiking, mountaineering, climbing, and biking. High alpine regions are quickly reached. Walk and see. Hike and feel good. Wellness indoors and outdoors in nature. Enjoy the high quality of the hotels and restaurants. Another world. Time does not stand still in Gurgl. Time does not pass slower in Gurgl. But Gurgl is time that stays.

    Author’s recommendation

    The Zirben Alm invites you on the wonderful sun terrace to enjoy regional delicacies.
