About Hotel Riml

Ski straight from your door, soak in a rooftop infinity pool and take in the Ötztal Alps from 2,200 metres. Welcome to Hotel Riml, an adults-only mountain retreat where active days and laid-back luxury go hand in hand. Its high-altitude setting means you're perfectly placed for skiing, with reliable snow conditions and the slopes right on your doorstep. There's even a ski hire shop in the hotel, so getting kitted out couldn't be easier.

Hotel Riml has its own take on luxury - sporty, elegant and authentically Tyrolean. Here, luxury means time, quality and genuine hospitality. After a morning on the slopes, head to the rooftop Sky Relax Spa for a swim in the infinity pool, a soak in the whirlpool or some well-earned downtime in the relaxation areas. With panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, it's a pretty special place to recharge before another day on the snow. 

Fancy a change of piste? The hotel is home to Europe's largest indoor golf facility, spanning an impressive 700m². Have a go on the simulators, practise your swing and let off some steam away from the slopes - a fun way to mix things up during your mountain escape.

Food is a big part of the experience, too. Start the day with a generous breakfast, return for afternoon treats and look forward to a five-course dinner or themed buffet in the evening. Afterwards, the Blue Birdie Bar is on hand for a cocktail or two.

When the lifts close, take a seat on the panoramic terrace for a drink and some mountain views. For a change of scene, the Meeting Point brings people together over evening aperitifs, games and good conversation. Browse the library, settle into the lounge or challenge fellow guests to billiards or darts. You can also catch the big game on screen, making it the perfect spot to settle in and enjoy a relaxed evening.

Wellness facilities

Admire the snowy mountains from the adult-only rooftop spa with sauna, steam room and fitness room. The new 30m² infinity pool on the mountainside is a must after a day on the slopes.

There is also an indoor golf putting course and golf simulator – to keep that swing in check.

Please note that the hotel has a spa area with an indoor pool that children aged from 14 can use. The 2nd floor area is only accessible from the age of 16.

Discover Hochgurgl

Hochgurgl is the smaller but higher neighbouring resort of Obergurgl. With slopes rising up to 3,080m, their altitude was not lost on Walter Ingham, the founder of the Inghams. He brought his first party of skiers here in 1934 after placing an advert in The Times. It said: “Private Party to Ski the Tyrol  - 14 days for 12 guineas.”

At the end of the 1990s Obergurgl and Hochgurgl finally got a crucial mid-mountain link between their two previously separate ski areas - the Top Express eight-person gondola.

A red run from the top of the Schermerspitze chairlift down to Obergurgl gives an impressive vertical descent of 1,500m. The two-stage chairlift up the Wurmkogl gives access to some truly challenging red runs and some fun off-piste.

Hochgurgl has recently opened the doors of its new ‘Top Mountain Crosspoint’ vintage museum and restaurant set at the bottom station of the new Kirchenkar 10-person gondola. The multifunctional building that hosts a motorbike museum and a state-of-the-art mountain restaurant with table service and panoramic views.
