Description
Tucked away in the Salzburg region, Obertauern is a high-altitude ski resort celebrated for its reliable snow conditions. The resort is a winter enthusiast’s dream, offering 95 km of meticulously groomed pistes, all converging back to the village.
The unique layout of runs and lifts allows you to navigate the mountain range in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction, always leading you back to your starting point. The resort caters to all skill levels, from the gentle inclines of the “green circuit” for novices to the adrenaline-pumping mogul fields of the black pistes for seasoned skiers. Snowboarders are not left out, with a dedicated snow park and a variety of slopes and off-piste runs to conquer.
But Obertauern is more than just a ski resort. It’s a vibrant après-ski hub, a cluster of inviting ski-in/ski-out hotels, and a plethora of other winter activities, from tobogganing and ice skating to indoor tennis and squash.
And all this is just a stone’s throw away from Salzburg, offering you the unique opportunity to blend a ski holiday with a cultural city escape.
