The Skiers' Guide to Obertauern

This has got to be one of my favourite places in Austria.

There is a great choice of slopes, facing all directions. Lifts are modern and fast .
Great choice for bars and restaurants, both on the slopes and in town.
I’ve been back a few times and it never disappoints.

We loved our time in Obertauern.

Everything is ski in ski out, there were no lift queues, a great selection of pistes and some fab aprés. We loved Hochalm!

We didn't have the best ski conditions, but they have snow canons so it wasn't a problem.

Unfortunately I tore my ACL on day 2, but I still had a fab time there and the medical facilities were extremely efficient so it's a good place to be if you do have an injury haha.

I love obertauren it’s great for families. The hotel schnieder is an amazing hotel as well. The people are very friendly

Mainly very good skiing. I found some of the piste signage a bit confusing. Try stay away from the circular routes, they tend to be busier.

One of the best ski resorts I have been to. Magical views. Accommodating staff and very easy to understand the routes and to get about the resort. Value for money was spot on!

Incredible place with wonderfully groomed pistes, great bars and fantastic people! It’s a must visit.

Enjoyable, safe family location for all the family ski-ing. Enjoyed the "rotunda" lay out of the Resort and the near full guarantee of snow conditions. Good Hotels with quality facilities for a fuller family fun.

Great skiing, just went for a weekend over new years so was a bit busy but generally had a fantastic time. No complaints!

good show and lots of nice pistes good range of slope types and lifts were very good accommodation we were in was nice aswell

Was much quieter when we arrived on the weekdays so it was easier to get around the slopes. The weekend was really busy which made skiing a little more challenging as a beginner and also the apres bars got so busy that we couldn’t secure a table for lunch for at least 20 minutes. Also not many vegan options to eat so that was challenging for our group. Overall though had a wonderful time and would come back here

Obertauern was some of the best skiing I’ve had on a ski trip. Well laid out accessible resort with incredibly good snow.
The apres scene was very Germanic and didn’t offer great late night options.
Food was good and there was some modern options.

Incredible resort. Small, but perfectly formed with great skiing for intermediates and fantastic après!

Great place for my kids to learn as the ski school was great.

The learner area was quite small and the options for beginners slopes was limited to blue only.

Lift's we're very quiet most of the time which was a bonus.

First time ski trip, perfect place to start! Great views, great snow, brill hotel and really close to Salzburg

Nice resort with a good array of slopes varying in difficulty. Very good condition slopes, well groomed.
Apres not as good as the likes of Saalbach though and overall didn’t get as much of a friendly vibe as we did when visiting Saalbach.

Stayed at Das Seekarhaus which has basically its own ski lifts at the back of the hotel. Expensive, but really worth it. It was their very first weekend so only a few lifts and runs were open. Runs were well groomed and the snow cannons were running constantly to keep the snow levels up. The views are spectacular and the whole place has a nice, chilled out, vibe.

Snow conditions limited ski experience but the area copes well with busy days. Appealing terrain but nothing too challenging. Not such a good choice for absolute beginners.

Fantastic resort for an intermediate skierVariety of runs of different levelsFantastic places to eat and food excellent Hotels first classVery friendly resort

We went skiing from 24 Jan to 2 Feb. Only queued for one ski lift the whole holiday. The weather was incredible, and on the powder days there was lots of tree line runs and then odd piste when you hit it early !! By afternoon was crispy but then if you go up the yellow bubble the snow was perfect and untouched again and the runs were a mix of blues and reds really long runs perfect for all stages. Luzer alm amazing food an apres when you finish and Id also right next to the piste after night time skiing. Incredible resort we will be back again.

Amazing area offering top quality opportunities for skiing at all levels. Plenty of slope space and areas to enjoy the mountains over a good beverage, meal or simply skiing.
