Obereggen is known far and wide for its perfectly groomed ski slopes offering guaranteed snow, as well as its rich and varied hiking trails. Moreover, every December sees a part of the European Cup staged on Obereggen’s Maierl piste, with numerous enthusiastic spectators in attendance.
While some 50 years ago the only inn in the village of Obereggen could offer20 beds, there are now twenty establishments providing accommodation, with some 850 beds between them. The attitude of the valley’s inhabitants to the natural world around them remains however unchanged: its preservation is a particular concern, with respect for local flora and fauna and their respective habitats always of paramount importance in all projects and endeavours – future generations should after all also be able to delight in the uniqueness of the Latemar, a World Natural Heritage site.
