点评:Our party consisted of two advanced adults skiers, and a teen intermediate skier. At the start of each day the multiple uplift options from the base means that lift queues are pretty reasonable, and the well developed network of runs & lifts helps to spread people around the ski area. Although we visited during a school holiday period – the ski area never felt over-crowded.
It wasn’t a great snow year, but the snow conditions were good all the way to the base and the runs were well prepared. The runs are relatively short, but there’s a good mix of blues, reds and blacks and we never found ourselves without a good option. My son and myself really enjoy playing around in off-piste areas between runs – and this is where Obertauern comes up short. Whilst you can see areas of off-piste terrain from the lifts – most of it is not accessible without local knowledge. You can comfortably do a circuit of the ski area in a day, so to provide a change of scene we took the ski bus to the Grosseck – Speiereck ski area for a day (which is included in the ski pass). Although this is a small ski area it made for a really nice day.
We stayed in a family guesthouse outside of Obertauern (it’s a lot cheaper for a little less convenience) which meant a short ride on the free ski bus each day. These run every half-hour (surprisingly they stop quite early around 6pm) and at peak times they are dangerously over-crowded. They were often too hot for wearing ski gear, with heavy breaking drivers (with one hand on a mobile phone). On one journey a boy who was standing in the crowded isle passed out – simply unacceptably dangerous.
Overall, Obertauern offers really good vanilla (plain), family friendly, skiing. If that’s a flavour of skiing that works for you – this resort would be a good choice.
翻译:我们的团队由两名高级成人滑雪者和一名青少年中级滑雪者组成。每天开始时,从基地出发的多个上山选择意味着缆车排队相当合理,而完善的雪道和缆车网络有助于将人们分散到滑雪区的各个角落。虽然我们是在学校假期期间参观的,但滑雪场从未显得过于拥挤。
那一年雪况不佳,但一直到基地的雪况都很好,雪道也准备充分。雪道相对较短,但有蓝色、红色和黑色的混合,我们从未发现自己没有好的选择。我的儿子和我真的很喜欢在滑雪间隙在越野滑雪区玩耍——而这正是 Obertauern 的不足之处。虽然您可以从缆车上看到越野滑雪的地形,但如果不了解当地情况,大部分地形都无法到达。一天之内,您可以轻松地绕滑雪场一圈,因此,为了换换环境,我们乘坐滑雪巴士前往 Grosseck – Speiereck 滑雪场,玩了一天(包含在滑雪通行证中)。虽然这是一个很小的滑雪场,但确实度过了美好的一天。
我们住在 Obertauern 郊外的一家家庭旅馆(便宜很多,但不太方便),这意味着每天可以乘坐免费滑雪巴士一小段路程。这些巴士每半小时一班(令人惊讶的是,它们在下午 6 点左右很早就停了),高峰时段人满为患。穿着滑雪装备的人通常太热,司机刹车很猛(一只手拿着手机)。在一次旅途中,一个站在拥挤岛屿上的男孩昏倒了——简直危险得令人无法接受。
总的来说,Obertauern 提供了非常好的香草(普通)、适合家庭的滑雪体验。如果这种滑雪方式适合您,那么这个度假村将是一个不错的选择。
