Winter in Obertauern.
Around 100 km of slopes between 1,630 and 2,313 metres, snow from late November to early May and the Tauernrunde right outside the hotel.
OBERTAUERN SKI AREA
The snow bowl of the Alps.
Obertauern lies at 1,740 metres, nestled between the peaks of the Radstadt Tauern. This setting makes it one of the most snow-sure ski areas in Austria: according to a 2016 study, Obertauern is even the country’s snowiest winter sports resort, with an average maximum snow depth of 264 centimetres.
The season usually starts at the end of November and runs until early May. Especially in March and April, when the days get longer and the slopes quieter, Obertauern really shines.

TAUERNRUNDE
All the way around Obertauern.
The Tauernrunde is the heart of the ski area: a ski circuit that loops right around the resort, with the red loop running clockwise and the green one anticlockwise. From the hotel, the Kehrkopfbahn takes you straight onto it.
With 61 km of easy, 35 km of intermediate and 4 km of difficult runs, there’s a slope for everyone, from first turns to personal bests.

FOR EXPERTS
Gamsleiten 2: one of the steepest runs in Europe.
If you want to test yourself, take on the Gamsleiten 2. It’s one of the steepest runs in Europe and hosts the Gamsleiten Kriterium every year. And for freeriders, Obertauern offers plenty of off-piste terrain when conditions are right.

FOR FAMILIES
First turns, nice and relaxed.
Children learn to ski right outside the hotel: the nursery lift is just a few metres away, and the CSA Grillitsch ski school has its office in the hotel.
Right here on the Kehrkopf, our own children’s adventure awaits: the Monsteralarm. On the easy slopes 7a and 7b, kids team up with Bobby and his friends to chase away a snow monster that wants to eat all the snow. And because the runs back to the hotel are blue, even the little ones can ski all the way to the door in the afternoon.
