If you’re looking for an early or late season ski holiday, Obertauern in Austria needs to be on your shortlist.
Renowned for its excellent snow-sure status, you can ski from November to May at this high-altitude, purpose-built ski resort. The runs are varied too. Newbies can snowplough to their hearts’ content on the nursery slopes. And the little ones can go in search of colourful monsters, Bibo the Bear,, and spooky ghosts in the snowy play parks.
You’ll never run out of reds and blues to explore, and a few challenging blacks and mogul fields will get the heart racing. Let’s go!
With an extra-long ski season running from November to May, Obertauern is one of the best snow sure resorts in the Alps. That said, if fresh powder and pristine corduroy are top of your wish list, head here in February and make the most of the resort’s early morning lifts.
Want a pre-Christmas holiday to remember? The weekly Tauren Advent market in December brings all of the festive cheer to the village with live music, torch-lit hikes, and visits from the big man himself.
