The Drive from Salzburg Airport to Obertauern
From Salzburg Airport, the route runs south on the A10 Tauern Autobahn to the Radstadt exit, then climbs the B99 Radstädter Tauern Straße up to Obertauern — one of Austria's highest and most snow-sure resorts, sitting on the Tauern Pass with the Tauern Circuit ski-back-to-village layout. The final section is a genuine mountain-pass climb, and under normal conditions the drive takes around 1 hour 15 minutes, though winter weather can extend the journey.

Salzburg Airport to Obertauern in Winter
Obertauern's altitude means winter conditions matter more here than on many other resort transfers. Snowfall, icy roads, and traffic around Saturday changeovers, Christmas/New Year, and February school holidays can all add time to this drive, including for early-morning airport arrivals. Allow additional time during heavy snowfall rather than assuming a fixed 1h 15m journey.

Family Ski Transfers
Traveling with children adds car seats, boosters, strollers, and ski equipment on top of regular suitcases.

Group Transfers to Obertauern
This route also suits ski groups, corporate groups, and larger parties of friends. Multiple vehicles or a Minibus can be arranged for bigger groups — provide your full itinerary, passenger count, and luggage when requesting a quote.
