Untertauern

The charming village of Untertauern, located in the heart of Salzburger Land, had around 500 residents as of January 2013. Its location is truly exceptional, nestled on the northern side of the Radstädter Tauern Pass, at an elevation of 1,009 meters above sea level.

Untertauern is a place with history. As far back as Roman times, it served as an essential stop along a major trade route through the Alps. Historical records even show that the village had its first hotel as early as the 14th century – proof that hospitality runs deep in its roots.

Untertauern, a winter paradise

When it comes to skiing, Untertauern offers plenty of options. The two ski resorts, Obertauern and Radstadt, are both just a 10-minute drive away and easily accessible by a free ski bus. Cross-country skiers are also well catered for. The nearby Gnadenalm features 15 kilometres of groomed trails, while the Tauernloipe in Radstadt offers a full 110 kilometres of cross-country skiing adventures.

But it’s not just about skiing. Untertauern also offers a wide range of winter activities, including an illuminated toboggan run, romantic horse-drawn carriage rides, curling, a wildlife enclosure perfect for photography, and peaceful winter walks.

All of this makes Untertauern much more than just an alternative to the mountain resort Obertauern. With its strong hospitality scene, Untertauern confidently stands on its own.
