New Year’s Eve on holiday in Tyrol

Celebrate the New Year at the Hotel & Apartment Alpenland with a festive gala buffet, live music and stand-up magic at the tables. Around New Year, Obergurgl comes alive with the ‘Gemat’, a New Year’s tradition found only here in the upper Ötztal valley. It takes place on St Stephen’s Day, 26 December. At the Children’s Gemat on 8 January, the children go from house to house with their New Year’s wishes.

Ski holidays and activities over the festive period

The Obergurgl-Hochgurgl ski resort offers excellent slope conditions over the festive period, with ski-in/ski-out access directly from the Hotel & Apartment Alpenland at 1,930 metres. This means you can enjoy your skiing holiday with the whole family or with friends right by the slopes. Away from the slopes, ski touring, cross-country skiing, winter walks and toboggan runs await you in the upper Ötztal valley. In the alpenRelax wellness area, you can unwind in the sauna complex after an active day’s holiday.
