Powder snow and open slopes in January

January Ski Holiday

Why is January a good time for a ski holiday in Obertauern?

In January, Obertauern experiences the deepest winter. The ski resort is located at 1,630 to 2,313 meters, the slopes are snow-covered, and the cold temperatures ensure grippy pistes. After the Christmas holidays and before the semester break, it is quieter on the slopes, at the lifts, and in the huts. From the Alpenrose, you can start directly with ski-in/ski-out, and the Gamsleitenbahn 1 is about 100 meters away.

How snow-sure is Obertauern in January?

Obertauern is one of Austria's snowiest winter sports resorts. The village is situated at around 1,740 meters, and the ski area extends up to 2,313 meters. An analysis by ski tourism researcher Günther Aigner shows an average maximum snow depth of 264 centimeters for Obertauern, the highest value among the locations compared. The winter season typically lasts from late November to early May, with January being in the middle of peak winter.

When are the slopes quieter?

It becomes quieter after the Christmas holidays. In Austria, these end on January 6, 2027, while the mid-term breaks do not begin until February 1, 2027, in Vienna and Lower Austria, and February 15, 2027, in Salzburg. In Germany, the Christmas holidays also end in early January, and winter breaks—where applicable—take place in February. In between, you will enjoy more space on the slopes, shorter waiting times at the lifts, and available tables at the mountain huts.

Is a ski vacation cheaper outside of school holidays?

Outside of school holiday periods, a ski vacation is often particularly attractive for budget-conscious skiers. At Alpenrose, our most attractive January rates apply from 9 to 23 January 2027, and from 23 to 30 January 2027 there is another discounted week. You can find current rates in our online booking system.
