Obertauern is Austriaโs snowiest winter sports destination, thanks to a favourable microclimate. The region receives abundant snowfall from both the north and south, while its high altitude – the village of Obertauern is over 1,600m in elevation with skiing up to 2,300m – makes it as snow-sure as it gets. A winning combination ensuring exceptional snow conditions throughout its long season, which runs from November until May.
