Freeriding in Obertauern
Off piste paradise on top of Salzburg's Alps
Freeriders love Obertauern
Mountains, winter, powder, Obertauern. The fantastic four that fascinate all free riders searching for challenges. The geographic orientation which regularly accumulates plenty of snow from Mother Hulda - and makes the riders cheer who like to treat themselves to something special (please always safe, dear girls and boys). Sometimes the ways to the white glory are very short - the most wonderful hills can often be found close to the slopes.
Let's hit the snow!
Where the slopes end, the adventure begins for deep snow skiers. From the highest mountain stations there will be exciting opportunities for powder runs through untouched snow fields and gullies between rocks and trees.
