Resort Overview

Saalbach ski resort offers a super-modern lift system, beautiful villages and great apr�s ski, the lot! With Saalbachs massive linked ski circus and traditional Austrian charm, Saalbach-Hinterglemm is pretty much the ideal ski resort.

It's best known for the sunny cruises of Saalbach but the north-facing slopes of Hinterglemm, as well as giving enviable snow security, also provide exhilarating moguls and steep blacks.

On The Slopes

Unlike most other Austrian ski holidays, Saalbach is literally a “Ski-Circus” � you can ski around the whole valley and over 200km of marked runs without walking or bussing.

For beginners, ski holidays in Saalbach provide plenty of long blues on the whole circuit and good nursery slopes in Hinterglemm.

Intermediates have a massive choice of sunny cruising, ski tours and glorious, long runs through trees. There's a perfect snaking blue slope with excellent snow at the mid station of the Schattberg gondola.
Advanced skiers, like everyone else, have plenty of ski runs at Saalbach ski resort. Good skiers with thighs of steel can probably do the whole circuit in a day, but even for the really keen skier's, it's a challenge!
