The new ski season starts in Obertauern in just under 90 days. A good reason to think about why we love skiing in Obertauern so much.

 #1 Obertauern is the most beautiful ski area in the world (or so we say)

Obertauern's location makes it the perfect starting point for a wonderful day of skiing with a breathtaking panorama. An absolute must for every experienced skier is the Tauernrunde, which goes around the town on perfectly groomed slopes.

#2 Skiing makes you happy.

It has been scientifically proven that skiing is a guaranteed producer of happiness hormones. In no other sport do the sun, fresh air and glittering snow crystals have such a positive effect on the body, mind and soul as skiing. 

#3 When skiing, you do a lot of exercise without noticing it.

You think that most of it is due to gravity, and yet all of your muscles are constantly moving. If only to keep your body warm. This is noticeable in an increased calorie consumption and is good news for those who are conscious of their figure.

#4 When skiing, you can cover up minor shortcomings in your skiing skills with a great outfit and equipment.

With the right equipment, beginners can become slightly advanced skiers and advanced skiers can ski even more elegantly. Nevertheless, you shouldn't just rely on your certificate; if you're unsure, ask a ski instructor for advice or, even better, take a private lesson.

 
#5 We look good!

Unlike swimming in a bikini and swimming trunks, when skiing you can cover up and conceal one or two comfort pads with a ski suit and warm clothing. This is good for your self-confidence and also for your soul.

 
#6 When skiing, you can try out so many ski areas.

Especially if you have the Salzburg Super Ski Card, you can ski in different ski areas, e.g. Obertauern, Ski amadé and the Kitzbühel Alps. The first ski areas open at the beginning of October and the last ones close at the beginning of May, so you can practice your favorite sport 10 months a year.

 
#7 Skiing = The most beautiful natural experience.

The view of the "Winter Wonderland" is simply indescribable and every moment and every breath is a pleasure!


#8 Did we mention? Obertauern has the best slopes in the world 

When skiing, you can choose the slopes that suit your ability and gradually improve. Blue slopes are easy and wide, red slopes are intermediate and black slopes are for experts.

 
#9 Freeriding in Obertauern.

In Obertauern, there are many opportunities for freeriding away from the ski slopes throughout the winter season. The best way to do this is with an experienced mountain guide.

 
#10 Guaranteed snow

According to scientists, Obertauern is even the winter sports resort with the highest amounts of snow in Austria!

 

We are already looking forward to winter! Are you too?

See you soon in Obertauern
