Obertauern is a high-altitude ski resort in Salzburg, Austria, set on a pass road above the tree line. The ski area offers around 100km of pistes arranged in a compact circuit that makes it easy to cover the mountain without long transfers. Terrain is particularly friendly for beginners and intermediates, though there are steeper sections and the famous Gamsleiten 2 for stronger skiers. With the village at roughly 1,752m and slopes reaching above 2,300m, it is one of Austria’s most snow-sure non-glacier resorts. The layout is practical and ski-focused, with hotels, lifts and bars closely packed around the road-linked resort centre. It stands out for dependable early and late season conditions, easy access to the slopes and a very classic Austrian après atmosphere.
