Salzburg Airport to Obertauern: Route and Drive Time
Obertauern is 90 km from Salzburg Airport, and the drive falls into two clear parts. The first is the A10 Tauern motorway south as far as the Radstadt exit, fast and without surprises. The second is the B99, which leaves the valley at Radstadt, passes Untertauern and climbs the northern side of the Radstädter Tauern Pass for about 20 km to the village at 1,738 m. The whole trip usually takes 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes.
Time on the motorway hardly varies; the pass road decides the arrival time. It is cleared all winter, but after fresh snow the climb is slower, and in heavy snowfall chains can be required.
Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Nothing on this route crosses a border: from the terminal to the top of the pass the car stays in Austria.
Meeting Your Chauffeur at Salzburg Airport
Salzburg Airport is starting the largest building project in its recent history. Since September 2026 old buildings have been coming down, and over the next years the two terminals will grow into a single one. For a skier landing now, none of that moves the pickup: arrivals from both terminals still come through one hall and leave by a single exit.
Obertauern guests are part of the reason the airport runs a second terminal. Families, ski clubs and conference delegations bound for the pass arrive on winter Saturdays, often booked months in advance, and the Amadeus Terminal 2 opens for that charter peak.
For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules. If a late flight means climbing the pass after dark, the drive simply starts from the actual landing.
Arriving at Your Hotel in Obertauern
Everything in Obertauern stands along one road, the B99, around the top of the pass. Administratively there is no Obertauern municipality: the northern part belongs to Untertauern and the southern part to Tweng, and the boundary runs over the pass itself. Coming up from Salzburg, the Untertauern side is reached first, and a hotel on the Tweng side lies a little further along the same road.
That split sometimes shows in an address, which may name Untertauern or Tweng rather than Obertauern. Give the full address from your booking confirmation, including the hotel name, so the car goes to the right side of the pass.
Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For onward rail travel the closest station is Radstadt, at the foot of the northern climb.
From Obertauern Back to Salzburg Airport
Leaving Obertauern, the useful thing to know is how long the road takes, not when to leave: 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes to Salzburg Airport, longer in heavy traffic. The pickup time you choose is confirmed with the reservation.
The return starts with the descent on the B99 to Radstadt, the part most affected by snow; after that the A10 runs north to Salzburg. On winter Saturdays the road down carries nearly every departing guest at once. Between 1 November and 15 April Austrian law requires winter tyres whenever conditions are wintry, and buses run on them all season whatever the weather.
On winter Saturdays part of the charter traffic departs from the Amadeus Terminal 2, where skis and boards are checked in separately. Tell us the terminal shown on your booking, and the car goes straight to that building.
