Overview: hotel description: Hotel Kesselspitze description

Offering luxury service, on-the-piste location, and gourmet dining, the Hotel Kesselspitze is an unforgettable choice for an Austrian getaway.

Ski in, ski out

You couldn't be closer to the piste as the Hotel has a ski in, ski out location with direct access to the slopes.

The beginner area is a snowball's throw from the Hotel's doorstep, and more experienced skiers can access the entire Obertauern ski area from the nearby Achenrain and Schaidberg lifts.

The hotel runs a free shuttle service to the centre of Obertauern so you can explore the resort just as easily as the slopes.

Gourmet dining

Whether you're craving traditional Austrian cuisine or international flavours, the menu has something to please every palate. The talented chefs use fresh, locally sourced ingredients in all their dishes. Three times a week the fondue room is open, offering a variety of unique entrees and several fondue cooking styles, payable locally.

Entertainment

After a day on the slopes there is plenty to keep you busy, including a 200m² spa area with 80m² indoor fresh water pool, Finnish and bio sauna, aroma steam bath, and salt cave. Try out the hot whirlpool under open skies for something extra special.

Families can take advantage of the supervised Maro kids' club for 3-12 years and the multimedia gaming room.

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...
