Location: where is Garni Laaxerhof

· 15 minutes' walk (1km) to the resort centre · 2 minutes' walk to the nearest lift and ski bus stop · 3 minutes' walk to the ski school and nursery slopes


Overview: hotel description: Garni Laaxerhof description

The homely Laaxerhof enjoys a quiet location, about 1km from the centre of Obertauern, with panoramic views of the mountains and town. Ideally for skiers, it’s just a couple of minutes’ walk to the nearest lift and you can ski back to within a couple of minutes of the hotel at the end of the day.

The Laaxerhof is made up of two buildings, Upper and Lower House, which are about 200m apart. All customers check in at the Lower House, but there are rooms in both.

Speaking of, there’s a great choice of rooms here, from standard twins to spacious family apartments. They’re simply decorated with traditional wooden furniture but, most importantly, they’re clean, comfortable and warm.

Facilities are pretty limited, but the Laaxerhof does have a sauna and infrared cabin to warm you up in the evening, plus a ski room for storing your gear and free WiFi for keeping in touch with home. You can fill up on a generous buffet breakfast each morning, and then explore the many restaurants in town for lunch and dinner. They even offer a shuttle service to the nearby Hotel Tauernglockl if you fancy a pizza in the evening.

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.

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...
