Gurgler Glacier, Alpine glacier at 2811 meters in Tyrol, Austria
The Gurgler Glacier extends across the upper reaches of Tyrol, featuring extensive ice formations and steep terrain suitable for winter sports activities.
In 1931, Swiss explorer Auguste Piccard made an emergency landing on the Gurgler Glacier during his pioneering stratospheric balloon flight expedition.
The glacier forms part of the White 5 ski network, connecting five major Tyrolean glaciers that shape the regional winter sports identity.
Visitors can access multiple slopes and cross-country trails throughout extended seasons, with equipment rentals and dining facilities available near the glacier base.
The glacier maintains consistent snow conditions at high altitudes, enabling skiing activities when other European destinations lack sufficient natural snow coverage.
