Places mentioned

Obertauern, Salzburg, Austria
"For Obertauern in the SalzburgerLand region of Austria is where the Beatles filmed parts of their, somewhat surreal, comedy musical Help! in March 1965."
Gnadenalm, Salzburg, Austria
"Obertauern is divided into three main areas Grnwaldkopf, Zehnerkar and the lower Gnadenalm and you can either choose to focus on one for the morning or afternoon, or satisfy your ski legs by doing the loop around the snow bowl."
Salzburg, Austria
"With its wide and beautifully groomed pistes, close proximity to Salzburg airport a transfer takes just over an hour by road, and easy access to the slopes, I will definitely be returning to Obertauern sooner rather than later."
