Overview: hotel description: DAV Haus description

Next door to - and only a few steps from - the Gamsleiten Lift, is DAV Haus. This simple yet comfortable hotel is perfect for budget-minded travellers who just want to be up on the pistes or down in the bars as soon as they can and for as long as they can.

The rooms in the DAV Haus are simply furnished and now have their own private bathrooms!

The hotel also has free WiFi in public areas so you can share your snaps and videos from the day with all your friends and family at home. And if you want to enjoy the views before the sun goes down and you head off dinner, you can relax outside on the hotel's sun terrace.

In the mornings, you can fill up on a hearty and nutritious breakfast buffet before you head out for the day. Then in the evenings enjoy 3 or 4-course meals in the hotel.

Austrian twin beds
Austrian twin beds are very common in Central Europe. They’re simply one large bed frame containing two single mattresses, both with separate duvets and linen sets, that cannot be separated. Separate twin beds are less common and can often be head to head beds, rather than side by side, if they are available.

We update DAV Haus's details often, but facilities do change. e.g. some extras listed by the supplier as "free" or included might only be for the first time you use them, or for one time per party, then charged for further use. If any specific feature is essential to your holiday, make sure you ask us to confirm the details of it before you book your holiday.

Excellent lift system Clever natural ski circuit Attractive purpose built resort

Obertauern stands apart from other Austrian resorts in more ways than one; it’s the nation’s only purpose-built resort offering ski in/ski out convenience whilst impressively maintaining Austrian charm. It has unusually high altitudes for Austria, with pistes peaking at 2313m, and the ski area is built in a one-of-a-kind circuit where you always return to your starting point, whichever direction you ski.

This is one of Austria’s little known gems. Justifiably gaining in popularity with Brits, it was made famous by the Beatles who filmed their second feature film Help! here in 1965. Situated in the Salzburgerland region of the Austrian Alps and nestled within the scenic peaks of the Tauern mountain range, Obertauern was originally just a mountain pass before it became Austria’s first and only purpose built resort. Unlike most of the purpose built resorts you’ll find in the Alps, Obertauern’s chalet-style ar...
With the lifts in a central location, Obertauern’s skiing starts right in the town centre with many of the accommodation options ski-in, ski-out. With varied terrain, this resort is terrific for mixed ability groups. The nursery slopes and the ski school meeting points are conveniently situated directly beside the village. The ‘green circuit’ with 7 lifts including the main Zehnerkar cable-car gives access to superb open slopes where skiers can build confidence and progress. We like the Edelweiss run, a ge...
The après here is fun but not riotous and mainly based in the mountain huts dotted around and at the bottom of the slopes. You’ll find a mixture of traditional Austrian music and dancing and some good old Europop thrown in for good measure. A popular place is the Edelweissalm where things heat up from 3.30pm with live DJ’s, be prepared for some dancing on tables in your ski boots! Head to the Polar bear bar for cosy sessions by the open fire. The majority of accommodation is half board and most hotels ser...
