The record of Obertauern in Austria
Obertauern, Austria, has been literally submerged by a snowfall that has lasted for more than 24 hours. The resort is an Austrian ski resort that extends over the Radstadt Tauern mountain range, in Salzburg. It extends over the territory of two municipalities, Tweng and Untertauern. Equipped with over 100 km of slopes and 26 ski lifts, it extends between 1000 and 2526 m above sea level and is equipped for both Alpine and Nordic skiing. The station hosted a stage of the Biathlon World Cup in 1990. And it is precisely in this specific area that the super snowfall of these days has been concentrated. Obertauern is called the region the “key to Austria’s snow”; here the winter season lasts a full 6 months. The slopes, which are defined by ski enthusiasts, are “perfect” and you can ski already at the beginning of November.
