Obertauern offers a varied mix of terrain spread across 100km of pistes. Its compact layout ensures easy access to nursery slopes, challenging blacks, and everything in between, making it ideal for skiers and snowboarders of all levels.
Beginners: Obertauern is perfect for newcomers to skiing, with nursery slopes conveniently located by the village and Bobby’s Monster Park offering a fun introduction for kids. Progression is seamless with wide, gentle blues served by the Sonnenlift and Schaidbergbahn lifts, providing breathtaking views as you learn.
Intermediates: Intermediates will love the Tauernrunde, a unique circular route that allows you to explore the entire ski area on well-groomed blues and reds. The circuit can be skied in either direction, offering a varied experience without repeating runs. Add in short lift queues and plenty of open slopes, and it's ideal for clocking up kilometres.

4.9/5I usually book flights, transfers, hotel, ski rental and lift passes myself but this year used WeSki for a trip to Morzine. It was so much easier. Everything worked perfectly - transfers arrived on time and there was plenty of feedback throughout the whole process giving you confidence the holiday would go smoothly.
A really useful service that is so much easier to use than other ‘all-inclusive’ sites. It nicely bridges the gap between a travel agent and booking the trip yourself online. I will use WeSki every time I go skiing from now on.
We booked a late minute skiing trip to Morzine through we ski. We looked at booking the trip ourselves but could get anywhere near the price quoted by we ski. The company was excellent and we had no problems at all from start to finish. I would definitely use them to book another weekend skiing trip.
Seamless experience from start to finish. I was spending ages trying to sort out a weekend break and managed to do it with we ski in minutes and for the same price as booking it all up yourself. Flight, transfer and accommodation was all as expected and faultless.
