Obertauern's combination of attractions is unique. If you're hooked on Austrian mountain huts and après-ski but looking for a change from slush and ice at village level, moving up in the world by 1000m or so could be just the ticket. But note the minus points above.
Obertauern is a mainly modern development set high on top of the Tauern pass. The slopes and lifts form a snow-sure circuit around the village.
Pros
Excellent snow record
Quite a lot of ski-in/ski-out lodging
Efficient modern lifts
Good mountain restaurants
Cons
Village not notably charming
Slopes limited in extent - and in vertical, in particular
A bleak place in bad weather
Few off-slope diversions
