We had an unforgettable time at Hochfirst, which is undoubtedly one of the best resorts in Obergurgl. The luxurious and well-furnished rooms made our stay very comfortable, and the dining experience was truly extraordinary with a great variety of quality dishes. The location is superb, just moments away from the slopes, though the ski room could use more space during peak times. However, the smoking in the public lounges did detract from the otherwise elegant atmosphere. Overall, we are eager to return soon with minor considerations in mind.
