Rent children's ski equipment in Obertauern. Properly sized skis, boots, and helmets for kids of all ages and ability levels.
Obertauern is Austria's most reliably snowy resort with a unique circular layout where every run returns to the village.
The circular piste design at Obertauern means every run in the resort finishes back at the village — there are no shuttle buses between sectors and no valley walks. At 1740m village elevation with 100km of pistes to 2350m, it consistently holds the best snow cover in Austria from late November through early May, even in warm winters.
Renting ski equipment in Obertauern is the smart choice for most visitors. Luggage costs for ski gear can exceed the price of a week-long rental, and local shops offer children's ski rental perfectly tuned for Obertauern's terrain — all levels level, 100 km of pistes at up to 2350m.
The car-free village centre concentrates an unusually large number of bars for its small size — Walburger is the most famous, with resident DJs and a dancefloor open by 3pm in peak season. The atmosphere is younger and more energetic than neighbouring Zell am See.
Typical daily children's ski rental in Obertauern costs €25–€50. Booking a full week package usually saves 15–25% compared to daily rates.
Obertauern performs best in February and March when lower Austrian resorts are icy — the summit plateau at 2350m traps cold temperatures and dry snow long after Salzburgerland valleys have thawed. Book mid-February for the best ratio of snow reliability to crowd numbers.
