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.
Hiring or 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 ski rental perfectly tuned for Obertauern's terrain — all levels level, 100 km of pistes at up to 2350m.
Through GetSki you can rent any combination of equipment in Obertauern — from individual items to complete packages. Each service is delivered by verified local shops with on-mountain pickup and free swaps during your stay.
Snowboards for all riding styles available — freeride, freestyle, and all-mountain shapes tuned for Obertauern's all levels-level terrain. Bindings adjusted to your boots on pickup; free swap if conditions change mid-stay.
Properly fitted ski boots are the single biggest factor in comfort on 100 km of pistes. Local shops carry the latest models from Salomon, Atomic, Lange, and Tecnica — fitted by qualified bootfitters who know the terrain. If they don't feel right after the first day, swap them at no extra cost.
Certified helmets (CE EN 1077) from €5/day. Modern shells with MIPS rotational impact protection are available at most shops in Obertauern. Helmets are mandatory for under-18s in many resorts and strongly recommended for everyone — better to rent than fly with one.
Waterproof shells and insulated jackets sized for layering. Obertauern's typical november – may conditions can swing from −15 °C blue-sky days to wet sleet at lower altitudes — rental options cover both.
Skis + boots + poles bundled, the most cost-effective option for full-week stays. Typical pricing in Obertauern: €25–€50/day with package discounts of 15–25 % compared to renting items separately. Package level matched to your skill — beginner, sport, or performance.
Properly sized children's skis, boots, and helmets — adjusted to weight not just height for safer release-binding behaviour. Kids' ski sets are typically 30–50 % cheaper than adult equivalents in Obertauern; many shops offer free helmets when renting a full kids' package.
Forgiving skis (shorter than your height, softer flex) with comfortable beginner boots — built to make first turns easier on Obertauern's nursery slopes. Some shops bundle ski-school discount vouchers with their beginner packages, worth checking at booking.
Lightweight aluminium and carbon poles available individually if you're bringing your own skis and boots. Sized to your height by the shop on pickup.
UV-protected lenses for high-altitude bluebird days, plus high-contrast lenses for flat light and snow conditions — both worth having for Obertauern's top altitude of 2350 m.
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 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.
