Après ski in Obergurgl

Although Obergurgl doesn't have a reputation as a hedonist's destination, there are five night spots, three discothèques and five Tirolean bars hiding behind the image of placid tranquility for which the Gurgls are famous.

Three of the mountain restaurants remain open at night and trips up to them are a popular evening event, as is the weekly night skiing. Straight after the lifts close many people stay in Toni's Almhütte at Hochgurgl and after the restaurants wind down it's on to the African Bar for a jungle bop.

Unusual in the high Austrian Tyrol - Jool's Country Saloon with its Wild West feel will momentarily transport visitors from the North American West back to their roots. If you prefer to stick to Tyrolean try the Krumpns Stadl or the Austria Keller.

The Piccard Saal sometimes stages concerts and folklore evenings and there are lectures and slide shows at the Conference Centre. Over three weekends in mid-November there's the popular Hally Gally event with live music on a 1000 square metre performance area.
