About Saalbach

Saalbach-Hinterglemm, is one of the biggest lift-linked resorts in Austria, with 200km of runs. It combines an attractive Austrian village with the excellent lift links and good piste maintenance you might expect from French resorts. There is skiing for all abilities, particularly better intermediates. For advanced skiers, there is the Glemm Valley which you should not miss. There is an excellent ski school and good nursery slopes for beginners. Boarders are spoilt, with 13km of boarders-only pistes, as well as a specialist park and half-pipe. For kids, facilities are better at Hinterglemm.

Saalbach-Hinterglemm has top après-ski and nightlife, with many visiting the area just sample the excellent atmosphere. Saalbach and Hinterglemm are 4km apart, with the former being the more attractive and traditional, as well as being traffic-free. Both offer slope-side accommodation, while the cuisine tends to be largely local. Mountain restaurants are varied and enjoyable andAs for other things to do besides skiing, there are usually weekly competitions and ski/boarding demonstrations to watch, but beyond that not much. Unless you like bars and clubs…

Overall, Saalbach-Hinterglemm is a top Austrian destination that has good skiing, a traditional village and extensive après-ski.
