Hotels near Obertauern

Obertauern runs 100 km of piste - 61 km easy, 35 km intermediate, 4 km difficult - on 26 lifts, and the whole area is arranged as a lift-linked ring around the village. Ski it clockwise one day and anticlockwise the next and you barely repeat a run. The village sits at 1,630 m with the top station at 2,313 m, a modest 683 m vertical, but that base altitude is the point: this is the most snow-sure village in Salzburgerland. The 2026/27 season is confirmed as 20 November 2026 to 2 May 2027.

The pass catch is worth spelling out. Obertauern is not part of Ski amade, despite being the nearest large resort to Salzburg, and sells its own resort pass instead - which regularly ambushes people who arrived holding a Ski amade ticket. The 2026/27 adult day pass is confirmed at EUR 72.00 in both high and low season, plus a EUR 2 KeyCard deposit. Six days costs EUR 368 in Season A (26 December 2026 to 8 January 2027 and 23 January to 2 April 2027) and EUR 331 in Season B. Obertauern does sit in the Salzburg Super Ski Card network, and passes from 1.5 days upward also cover Grosseck-Speiereck and night skiing.

Arriving without a car takes planning. Take the train from Salzburg Hauptbahnhof to Radstadt via Bischofshofen, roughly 1 h 38 including the connection, then SVV regional bus 280 from Radstadt Bahnhof up to Obertauern Passhohe, since Radstadt station is still 20 km short of the resort. Budget about 2 h 55 door to door, and treat that figure as indicative rather than an OBB quote. Once you are in the village, free ski buses circulate 08:00 to 18:30 for pass holders.

Pro Tip: Season B is the value window - 20 November to 25 December 2026, 9 to 22 January 2027 and 3 April to 2 May 2027. The single day is EUR 72 either way, but six Season B days at EUR 331 save you EUR 37 against the same ticket in Season A.
