One of the biggest and best networks in Austria. The famous Saalbach Hinterglemm Skicircus has a modern and efficient lift system, which is constantly being upgraded.Like many Austrian resorts, the villages have a delightful traditional charm and atmosphere.
There are 200km of pistes available, and getting into the ski area is easy whether you are staying in Saalbach or Hinterglemm. When you want to get off the circuit you can descend to the valley and hop on one of the free ski buses.
There is a good choice of blue and red runs for intermediates, and some outstanding off piste available on the north side of the valley. Snowboarders are also well catered for with terrain parks, a boarder cross course and a half pipe.
A mountain paradise for summer holidays where you can be as active or relaxed as you choose. There is a massive choice of hiking trails, mountain bike paths to please the all, and a series of local events throughout the summer celebrating the area and its heritage.
