Obertauern Christmas holidays
Obertauern is the perfect resort to escape the crowds and experience a proper white Christmas. Although this resort is purpose-built, the architecture is still in keeping with traditional alpine chalet style you expect in the Austrian Alps, so you’ll still enjoy your Christmas with chocolate box scenery. A traditional Christmas market is usually held in the village during the build-up to the festive period with numerous stalls and huts inviting shoppers to soak up the atmosphere. With treats and handmade gifts for sale any last minute stocking fillers can be found here! Something fun for all the family is the Christmas concert which usually takes place in late December -a fantastic way to get into the Christmas spirit. Follow the locals lead and try a glass of Austria’s answer to mulled wine, Glühwein guaranteed to warm you up on a cold winter’s eve.
For a special winter wonderland experience take a horse-drawn sleigh ride through beautiful snow covered woodlands. Pop into the tourist office when you arrive in resort and all the arrangements can be taken care of, just make sure you pack a camera to capture the magical moments.
Most properties have special Christmas gala menus on the big day. The beauty of this resort is that most of the accommodation is ski –in ski-out, so no time wasted waiting around for ski buses. Ask about accommodation with childcare facilities if you are travelling with children not yet old enough for ski school. Treat yourself this Christmas by selecting one of our 4 or 5 star hotels for a hint of luxury and enjoy being pampered in the tranquil setting of many of our hotels wellness areas.
