Looking for a place where winter is a playing partner rather than an opponent? Then you’ll love the Hotel Riml in Hochgurgl, where a passion for golf, piste happiness, award-winning cuisine and wellness all come together perfectly. Golf in winter? Of course — at the Hotel Riml, that’s simply normal.

Hochgurgl lies in the Ötztal Alps in Austrian Tyrol, right at the far end of the Ötztal valley — just around 20

Hochgurgl lies in the Ötztal Alps in Austrian Tyrol, right at the far end of the Ötztal valley — just around 20 kilometres south of Sölden. The ski area is one of the most snow-sure in Europe: it’s among the first to open for the winter season and among the last to close.

Right in the middle of it all: the Hotel Riml — at 2,200 metres above sea level, directly on the piste, and home to Europe’s largest hotel indoor golf facility, spanning 700 square metres.

That means a golf holiday and a ski holiday in one. Piste in the morning, tee box in the afternoon, spa afterwards — and, to crown it all, a five-course evening menu that turns every day into a real treat.

Ski-in, ski-out — golf-in, golf-out.

The 3/4 board, pampered to toque level

At the Hotel Riml, everything from morning to night revolves around good taste — and the small pleasures that make your stay unforgettable.

Here, where the Alps feel close enough to touch, Chef de Cuisine Michael Kofler and Head Chef Sandro Falkner conjure up a cuisine every bit as impressive as the panorama just outside the door.

Across five stylish dining rooms and restaurants, you’ll enjoy Alpine cuisine with a modern twist — honest, refined, and served with a generous helping of passion.

That it works is proven by numerous accolades: three toques in Gault Millau, three forks in the Falstaff Guide, and three stars in the Guide A la Carte. But numbers become secondary the moment you taste the first bite. Then you’ll know: up here, pleasure is lived as high as the peaks themselves.

In the heart of the

Tyrolean mountains

From the Gurgl view to the glacier view, all the way to the Königsjoch or Nederkogl — in the stylish suites and rooms, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for after an active day: peace, space and a place to retreat.

The Hotel Riml sits right on the piste of the Obergurgl-Hochgurgl ski area, the “Diamond of the Alps”. 112 kilometres of pistes, 25 lifts — and your run begins practically right outside the hotel door.
