Christmas in Obertauern
White Christmas in Austria - not uncommon here
While elsewhere it's a case of hope and trepidation, the chances of a white Christmas in Austria are particularly good in Obertauern. The altitude ensures a thick blanket of snow and a picture-perfect winter landscape. It is precisely this reliability that makes the resort so popular for a Christmas vacation in Austria. Snowflakes instead of rain, twinkling lights instead of hustle and bustle - Christmas is at its best here.
Time for each other instead of a busy schedule
Christmas in the mountains means one thing above all: time. Time for conversations, for cooking together, for games evenings or long winter walks. Without obligations, without fixed schedules. Families and groups of friends in particular appreciate this freedom. In Obertauern, there is space for real encounters - far away from to-do lists and the pressure of expectations. Christmas in Austria can once again be what it should be here: decelerated and warm.
Active enjoyment - according to your mood
Those who wish can start Christmas Day with a few turns on perfectly groomed slopes. Skiing on December 24th or 25th has long been a tradition in Obertauern and gives the holidays a special lightness. Others prefer to enjoy the peace and quiet, the view of the snow-covered mountains or relaxing hours in the warmth. The big advantage: everything can be done, nothing has to be. This is exactly what makes a Christmas vacation in Obertauern so special.
Enjoyable moments that stay with you
Whether it's breakfast together with a view of the snow, a festive dinner or a glass of wine by candlelight - the holidays are all about little moments. Culinary delights, coziness and conscious enjoyment come to the fore. Without the hustle and bustle, without long distances, but with plenty of atmosphere. This creates memories that last far beyond the holidays.
Christmas that feels right
A vacation over Christmas in Austria, especially in Obertauern, is more than just a trip. It is a conscious decision for peace, quality and time together. Once you have experienced how quiet and at the same time lively Christmas in the mountains can be, you will take this feeling home with you. And perhaps also the desire to return next year.
