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.
