Hotel Riml
Sporty-elegant alpine. Modern blonde wood interiors, walls of glass facing the mountains, relaxed dress code at dinner. Adults-only (14+) keeps it quiet. The vibe is active skiers and wellness seekers who want a real step up from a typical ski hotel without having to perform luxury.
The included afternoon buffet (14:00–16:30) is genuinely substantial — guests report skipping expensive mountain lunches and coming back to the hotel for it instead
Why It Matters
One of very few true ski-in/ski-out properties in Hochgurgl, with a private lift from the boot room directly to the piste. The indoor golf park — with 4 professional simulators and a resident PGA pro — is a genuinely rare find at 2,200 meters. Snow is guaranteed November through April thanks to the altitude.
Hotel Riml sits at 2,200 meters in the Ötztal Alps, directly on the ski slopes of Obergurgl-Hochgurgl. It's a 4-star Superior property (with 5-star pending official award in summer 2026) and claims the title of highest-classified hotel in Tyrol. The place runs on a clear philosophy: serious ski access, 2,000 sqm of wellness, a 700 sqm indoor golf park that's one of Europe's largest, and solid Austrian cooking — without the stuffiness of a traditional grand hotel. No black-tie dinners, no chandeliers. Just quality done in a sporty, unpretentious way.
