Your way to the Laurin
Up to Hochgurgl, arrive at 2150.
Even though the Laurin sits at 2150 metres, getting here is straightforward. Hochgurgl is easily accessible via a well-maintained road. In winter, the route always leads through the Ötztal valley, via Sölden and Obergurgl, as the road from South Tyrol over the Timmelsjoch pass is closed during the winter months.
Whether you arrive by car or public transport, getting to 2150 is easier than the altitude might suggest.
If you're travelling from the north, you have the following options:
- Munich - Kufstein (Inntalautobahn A12) - Innsbruck - Exit Ötztal - Hochgurgl
- Munich - Garmisch - Scharnitz - Telfs - Ötztal - Hochgurgl
- Kempten - Füssen - Reutte - Fernpass - Imst - Ötztal – Hochgurgl
From the south (Italy) your route is as follows (Note: only possible in summer!):
- Brenner Autobahn A22 – Ausfahrt Bozen Süd – Meran – Passeiertal – Timmelsjoch – Hochgurgl
At Alpenhotel Laurin, a secure parking garage is available on request in winter (€20 per day). In summer, the garage is free for motorbikes. Charging stations for electric vehicles are located in front of the hotel.
By train and bus
- Take the train to Innsbruck or Ötztal Bahnhof, then continue by bus—four times daily from Innsbruck or eight times daily from Ötztal Bahnhof to Hochgurgl. You can find the latest bus schedules at www.vvt.at.
By plane
The airports in Munich, Innsbruck, Salzburg, Friedrichshafen, and Bozen are connected to destinations across Europe via daily scheduled flights. We offer airport transfers from Innsbruck in collaboration with local taxi services.
For a convenient transfer from the airport or train station, we recommend the Ötztal-Shuttle.
For the drive to Hochgurgl in winter, winter tyres are required. With a four-wheel-drive vehicle, snow chains are generally not necessary. For vehicles without four-wheel drive, we reccomend bringing snow chains just in case, they may be required during heavy snowfall.
Don´t be confused by satnav. Some navigation systems may show the road to Hochgurgl as closed in winter. This is due to the winter closure of the Timmelsjoch Pass, which continues beyond Hochgurgl towards South Tyrol. The road to Hochgurgl and our hotel remains open and is easily accessible.
