Obertauern

The Fascination of Obertauern:

Want to experience the pure enjoyment of winter at a time when elsewhere, not even a single snowflake has fallen from the sky? Or when elsewhere, the last snow has already melted away? Then reach for "new heights"!

Obertauern is one of the snowiest ski areas in the Alps. For you that means perfect conditions from the end of November until the beginning of May! Awaiting you in the midst of Salzburg's fantastic mountain world, at elevations ranging from 1630 to 2313 metres above sea level, are 1 cabin lift, 19 chair lifts and 6 tows. Plus 100 km of magical ski slopes and 26 km of cross-country ski trails. 

Obertauern also holds traditional après-ski good times, exciting nightlife and a gloriously carefree holiday atmosphere in store for you!

The "Obertauern Snow Explorers" declare the slopes open!

When the drive levers on the ski lifts have once again be shifted to "Go", beginning on November 20th, the "Snow Explorers' are bound to arrive soon. By this we mean a circle of friends including Franz Beckenbauer, Uwe Seeler, Erich Ribbeck and Werner Zimmer. More than 25 years ago, they founded the Obertauern Snow Explorers Club, since which time the friends meet every year in our community to get the new ski season underway!
