Obertauern. Activities for living, loving & being.
The mountains are the stage.
White or green. It doesn’t matter. Obertauern is a land of milk and honey for active minds at any time of year. And their calves. Hiking, skiing, biking, snowboarding – live. Anything you want. Travelling all year round on the mountain railways or on the nearest golf course. Cross-country skiing or yoga at the mountain lake. The possible activities in Obertauern. A dream.
Don’t just wander through the mountains and forests, let yourself drift in the BergSPA. Wellness for adults only or in the wellness hotel with the children. Or the whole family can follow the play instinct in our children’s world. And what if you get hungry? It doesn’t really stand a chance in our hotel with full board.
Winter in
the Alps
natur meets sport
Writing about Obertauern as a ski destination is a bit like carrying owls to Athens. You know Obertauern. Women do anyway. Decades of skiing tradition. Metres of snow, fantastic mountain scenery. The Beatles as icing on the cake, cosy huts and hotels that really do you good. And all this at a snow-sure altitude of 1,752 metres, which guarantees skiing from November until late spring. And right on the doorstep of our Hotel Steiner. Ski-in & ski-out in the centre of Obertauern, as we say in good Steiner-speak.

Summer at
1,752 metres
The silence of the mountains
There’s not much to hear; the occasional cowbell and the buzzing of bees. You won’t find any horseflies, mosquitoes and the like in Obertauern in summer. They don’t even occur up here. And you will (certainly not) miss a few other unpleasant side effects of the warm season: There’s no pollen, no mites – and no muggy, high temperatures either. Wonderful when the altitude of 1,752 metres provides the most natural air conditioning ever. For a good night’s sleep – to be fit for the next few days. For hiking, biking or whatever your heart desires.
