About Hotel Riml
Hotel Riml sits at the heart of Hochgurgl with direct ski-in, ski-out access to the piste — one of the more convenient set-ups you'll find at this altitude. The property runs 99 rooms, each fitted with a bath, safe, cable TV, bathrobes, slippers and balcony; rooms with a traditional tiled Kachelofen stove are available at a supplement, adding a distinctly Austrian character. The centrepiece of the hotel is its 1,000 square metre spa and wellness area, incorporating saunas, steam rooms, a swimming pool, hot tub and dedicated relaxation zones — substantial by any resort standard. A restaurant, bar and lounge provide evening options without leaving the building, and the hotel also operates an on-site nightclub. Hotel Riml is adults-only, welcoming guests aged 14 and above, which shapes the atmosphere considerably — quieter corridors, a more settled pace. For those who want immediate piste access combined with a serious wellness offering and self-contained evening entertainment, this property delivers on all three counts.

Location
Hochgurgl sits at around 2,150 metres in the Ötztal Alps, making it one of Austria's highest ski resorts and typically one of the most snow-reliable. Hotel Riml's position close to the resort centre means lifts, ski hire and the main piste network are within easy reach on foot — or directly from the door via ski-in, ski-out access. The resort connects to neighbouring Obergurgl, extending the skiable terrain considerably and giving guests access to over 110 kilometres of marked runs between the two areas. The village itself is compact, with the hotel's bar and restaurant reducing the need to venture out on colder evenings. Transfer from Innsbruck Airport takes approximately 90 minutes by road, making it a manageable journey from most UK departure airports.

Perched high in the Ötztal Valley at 2,150 meters, Hochgurgl is a purpose-built, premium ski hamlet that shares a magnificent ski area with neighboring Obergurgl. Known as the 'Diamond of the Alps,' it boasts an enviable snow record, allowing for one of the longest non-glacier ski seasons in Europe. Characterized by luxury ski-in/ski-out hotels and a tranquil, exclusive atmosphere, Hochgurgl eschews loud nightlife in favor of refined dining and wellness. The resort is connected to Obergurgl by the Top Express gondola, creating a seamless 112km winter playground that caters heavily to convenience and comfort. The skiing is predominantly situated above the treeline, offering wide, perfectly groomed slopes that are a paradise for intermediates and progressing beginners. Advanced skiers will find challenging off-piste terrain, excellent powder bowls, and some steeper pitches near the spectacular Wurmkogl peak.
The terrain is characterized by wide, high-altitude pistes perfectly suited for intermediate cruising and confident beginners. With almost all runs located above 2,000 meters, the snow quality remains exceptional from first lifts to last runs.
A spectacular and snow-sure high-alpine valley in western Austria, famous for its dramatic peaks, sweeping glaciers, and premium ski destinations.
