Obertauern Ski Resort

The relatively unknown gem of Obertauern is a delightful ski resort in the Salzburg region with a long history dating back to the fourth century BC.

The modern development of the resort has made it more popular recently, along with the high-altitude skiing from 1,740m to 2,313m, over 100km of snow-sure slopes, rustic charm and spectacular scenery. The ski area has something to offer everyone – multiple ski schools, hotels close to the piste, special activities including night-time skiing and its own terrain park. The resort also offers a lively après-ski scene both up in the mountains and at the bottom of the slopes.

Having a high altitude and snowmaking capabilities means Obertauern is a great choice early and late in the ski season. The skiing is ideal for beginners and intermediates with plenty of nice blue runs. Advanced skiers can enjoy a few black pistes higher up the mountain. On a powder day, there are a few spots that have good off-piste opportunities to explore with local mountain guides.

The village itself has great ski-in-ski-out accommodation at the foot of the main lifts. There are lively après bars to enjoy after a day on the slopes. There’s also a great selection of restaurants to choose from for different price points. Off the slopes, you can enjoy winter walks or even try the cross-country ski trails around the village.
