Obertauern Skigebiet

Obertauern is a ski resort in Salzburg region at about 1752 meters elevation, offering over 100 kilometers of groomed slopes. The area stretches between two mountains and includes beginner-friendly runs to challenging descents, with modern lifts and mountain huts scattered throughout the terrain.

The resort developed into a popular winter sports destination in the Salzburg Alps, benefiting from its high elevation that ensures reliable snowfall from November through May. Modern lift systems and infrastructure were built over decades to attract visitors from around the world.

The name Obertauern comes from its location on a pass between two mountains in the Salzburg Alps. The après-ski mile serves as the social heart today, where visitors gather in cozy bars after skiing to enjoy drinks and share experiences with others.

The resort is accessible by car, train, or plane, with good connections from nearby towns and airports. Hotels and apartments with direct slope access allow visitors to start skiing right after waking up, without needing to travel to reach the terrain.

The resort offers night skiing on Monday and Thursday evenings under the stars on freshly groomed slopes, adding a magical dimension to the typical skiing day. Early risers can take advantage of earlier opening hours on certain days to be among the first on newly groomed runs.
