Ski area Obertauern
With the "Obertauern" lift pass, you have access to 100 highly varied kilometres of piste and 26 modern lift systems in one of the most snow-sure areas in the Alps.
The high-speed chair lift of the Schaidbergbahn offers space for six people and even has heated seats. The lifts around the modern ski village form the two circular courses "Rote Tauernrunde" and "Grüne Tauernrunde". Thanks to this ingenious ski circus, you can be in the centre of the skiing action in just a few minutes. From your accommodation, you have direct access to the predominantly blue and red pistes and can easily return to the starting point at any time.
The slopes at the Schaidbergbahn and Plattenkarbahn lifts are particularly suitable for beginners. Real experts dare to tackle the notorious Gamsleitenspitze. This deep black piste is one of the steepest mogul slopes in Europe.
Obertauern also offers excellent conditions for little snow fans. Whether in one of the many ski and snowboard schools, in the ski kindergarten or with professional childcare - the little ones are always in good hands here. One highlight is the 30 metre long ski ghost train on the Schaidberg, a wooden tunnel with glowing faces and sound system. In the Bibo Bär family ski park, three specially designed pistes await children and beginners, while Bobby Land offers a wave track and an exciting parcour course for older children.
As a special extra, there are free Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the ski area where you can conveniently connect to the internet. The new, free "iSKI Obertauern" app also offers a wealth of information sent directly to your smartphone.
