Franziska BaumgartnerAlps, Lakes & Hidden Gems

Situated at 1,752 metres above sea level, Obertauern is one of Austria's most snow-reliable ski resorts and a true winter paradise. With more than 100 kilometres of perfectly groomed pistes, the resort offers a great mix of terrain for beginners, intermediate skiers and advanced riders. Thanks to its unique location in a high alpine valley, many slopes are surrounded by impressive mountain scenery while still remaining easily accessible.

The famous Tauernrunde allows you to ski around the entire resort without having to take off your skis, making it easy to explore different areas throughout the day. Beyond the prepared pistes, Obertauern also offers plenty of opportunities for freeriding and enjoying untouched winter landscapes.

After a day on the mountain, the experience continues at one of the many traditional ski huts. Whether you are looking for a cozy stop with Austrian specialties, a place to warm up or a lively après-ski atmosphere, Obertauern has something for every winter mood.
