Hi, being a Brit living in Austria, I have the pleasure of traveling around at weekends trying out all the local ski resorts in the Salzburg area.
Having heard of Obertauern because of the Beatles film HELP! I discovered it to be a bit of a gem.
A compact well organized resort with excellent snow conditions that last until the end of April. A good modern ski lift system allows even the most tentative of skiers to cover a lot of the area. A variety of ski passes offers good value for money skiing, be sure to ask about the points cards! 250 points for only 24 euros, 12 euros for kids. This will cut down the costs for any skiers still developing and of course families. With ski pistes that are so well groomed, they will flatter any intermediate. Great apres-ski, for a small resort! Definitely a good choice of destination for intermediate skiers and families.
For skiers looking for a bigger challenge there are lots of other resorts within 20 minutes drive of Obertauern. The Ski Amade Ski Pass covers all of the resorts in the Salzburg region.
