About us

The mountains are our home - and we would like to invite you to this home!

As "Local Guides am Tauern" we start our mission in winter 2019/20. Before that we were known as "NAC Skischule am Tauern", which was founded in January 2016 - as a ski and snowboard school and as the first freeride center in Obertauern in the Salzburger Land. 

Patrik Schwaiger, former managing director of the NAC ski school, and David Schiefer founded the Local Guides Obertauern to continue the ski and snowboard school with focus on private lessons, freeride tours and guided ski tours with a fresh breeze - after all, our guides are indispensable in Obertauern. Patrik is himself a passionate ski instructor/guide with decades of experience (insiders also call him the best guide in Obertauern). David's heart also belongs to the mountains: as a passionate snowboard guide and mountain rescuer, he knows all the corners in and around Obertauern.

There could never have been any talk of another standard ski school in Obertauern, because right from the start it was all about making the enthusiasm for skiing and snowboarding and the experience of nature and snow with all its facets tangible and tangible. Quality and individuality are in the foreground - away from masses and large groups.

The small team of Local Guides Obertauern around the two founders Patrik and David consists of selected, professional guides who come from the region, grew up there and live there. Each of them knows the ski area and the area like the back of his hand and winter sports are much more a vocation than a profession. Our team members spend every free minute on the mountain and just have fun. And that's exactly what we pass on and experience in all our courses and tours. 

True to our motto "The mountains are our home" our hearts beat for the mountains and winter sports and we want to offer our guests an unforgettable experience in our beautiful home - authentic, sustainable, individual, professional!
