It was founded in 1951 by the Obergurgl federal Sports Centre in cooperation with the Alpine Research Centre of the University of Innsbruck. Over the past decades, numerous renowned mountain guides, ski instructors, researchers and scientists gathered here to collaborate on major contributions to sports and science in the Alps. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><div class="" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 13.800000190734863px;"><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16.100000381469727px; font-family: Calibri;"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 13.800000190734863px;"><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16.100000381469727px; font-family: Calibri;">Obergurgl is located in the Ötztal Alps in Tyrol, Austria, and part of the municipality of Sölden. The village is located 1,907 m (6,257 ft.) above sea level and is primarily a tourist resort with only about 400 permanent residents.
