Saalbach – Hinterglemm Ski Holidays

“Vast ski area, wonderful mountain huts and great après-ski”

The Ski Circus Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang-Fieberbrunn is one of the most extensive and modern ski areas in Europe and offers an impressive 270 kilometres of piste. It is also lift-linked with Zell am See-Kaprun with the ‘Ski Alpin Card’ covering 400+ kilometres of piste.

Saalbach and neighbouring Hinterglemm enjoy an excellent reputation for lively après-ski and nightlife.

On the Mountain 

Whether beginners, blue run cruisers, mileage monsters or powder-hunting freeriders, the vast Ski Circus is one of those resorts that really does offer something for everyone. The link with Fieberbrunn has bolted on a freeride playground, the lift link to Zell am See-Kaprun has extended the lift pass coverage to over 400 kilometres of piste and new lifts are added every winter.

For beginners, the nursery slopes are conveniently located directly above the resort centres of Saalbach and Hinterglemm within walking distance of most hotels.

Intermediate skiers could not ask for more. A huge network of blue and red runs run up both sides of the valley with nine valley lift access points served by a free ski bus service. Circuits around the area are well-signposted and the local App offers excellent itinerary suggestions.

Advanced and expert skiers will love the steep blacks on the north-facing slopes and the link with snowy Fieberbrunn has opened up some fantastic off-piste freeride routes.

To round it all off, the whole area is dotted with rustic mountain huts and restaurants where the level of competition keeps the quality high and the service and prices keen.

Off the Mountain 

Après-ski is very lively in Saalbach and Hinterglemm with a great choice of venues at the bottom of the slopes and in resort. Bauer’s Ski Alm in Saalbach and the goat-themed (!) Goasstall in Hinterglemm are the après-ski haunts of choice. Both resorts offer late night bars, lounges and nightclubs.

Also on offer is tobogganing, sleigh rides, ice skating, bowling and floodlit night skiing.
