Freeride Obertauern – Insider-Tipps from Local Guide Boss David!

Freeriding in Obertauern with David – Insider tips from the Boss 

Obertauern – a freerider’s paradise. Endless pow fields, untouched lines, and limitless ways to experience the mountains from a whole new angle. And who better to guide us through this winter wonderland than David, head of Local Guides and full-throttle freerider?

Why is Obertauern a freeride mecca?

Obertauern is one of the snowiest spots in the Alps—which means pow from november to May. Thanks to its unique terrain, you’ll find runs for every level, from playful tree lines to wide-open faces built for charging.

David knows these mountains like the back of his hand. Born and raised here, he reads the terrain like a local legend, always knowing where to find the best snow, the freshest lines, and the dreamiest conditions.
"The best thing about Obertauern? After almost every run, you’re right back at the lift—less hiking, more riding!", he says.

David’s secret stashes – the best lines in Obertauern

Of course, he won’t spill all the secrets, but here are a few gems:

Seekareck Lines – Even days after the last dump, you’ll still find untouched runs here. Perfect for technical descents with natural features that keep it spicy.

Sonnenhang – Big, open powder fields made for high-speed turns and deep carves. Pure magic in the morning when the first rays of sun make the snow sparkle.

Earn Your Turns – If you’re down to put in a bit of effort, the options are endless. Skin up, rip down—for David, nothing beats a ski tour with a freeride descent through pristine backcountry.

Freeriding with Local Guides – Safety First!

Freeriding is all about adrenaline and flow—but safety always comes first. "Every rider who joins us gets a full avalanche safety briefing," says David. Beacon checks, avy awareness, and smart mountain moves are standard on every tour with Local Guides.
