Austrian Alps, Austria 🇦🇹
High on the Tauern pass at 1740 m, Obertauern is one of the snowiest resorts in Austria, with a ring of 100 km of piste you can ski as a circuit. Snow-sure, lively and built for ski-in/ski-out.
Generally yes. From 1740 m at the base to 2313 m up top, the profile holds snow well across a normal winter (score 88/100).
Most hotels sit right on the snow front, so this is genuine ski-in/ski-out: park once on arrival and ski from the door, with no daily driving or shuttle.
With 100 km of piste on 26 lifts, it is a mid-size area, easy to get to know over a long weekend. The terrain is balanced (0 green, 35 blue, 55 red, 10 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.
Obertauern stands out for lively après-ski.
The season usually runs Nov 30 to May 1 (about 22 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. Conditions soften as spring arrives, so earlier in the window is the safer call.
