What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Overlooking the Austrian town of Obergurgl and the wider Tyrolean Alps behind, Bellevue Obergurgl enjoys a beautiful view indeed.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tyrolean peaks tower over Obergurgl, where 112 kilometres of ski pistes give way to rocky via ferratas in summer.
The rooms
Oversize windows let in floods of alpine light, and select double rooms have their own private saunas.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Classical columns frame the indoor pool and whirlpool, and an open-air heated pool mirrors the snowy peaks.
The spa
Massages and wraps draw on natural alpine ingredients, and sunlit relaxation nooks hold double daybeds for post-treatment rest.
The saunas and gym
Carved pine benches line the saunas, and the bright gym is fitted with stationary bikes and wall bars.
At the table
Morning buffets spread beneath carved wooden ceilings, and multi-course regional dinners are served across wood-panelled dining rooms.
How it began
The Steiner family acquired the hotel to expand their operations, connecting it to sister Hotel Austria through an underground passage.
