Saalbach

Imagine a resort which offered the best of France - an extensive circuit of slopes and modern lift system, with the advantages of an Austrian resort - lower prices, an attractive Alpine village and off-the Richter apres ski... Willkommen in Saalbach! We feel Saalbach is a great alternative to many of the French resorts. It is perfect for Uni students looking for a very lively fun packed holiday with a range of bars and clubs. Whilst the terrain may feel familiar to your feet and eyes, your pocket will definitely feel the difference!

Skiing & Boarding

The Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang offers you 200 km of the best prepared slopes, a great carving fun park with halfpipes, two GS race courses, a flood-lit slope, un-groomed mogul runs and snow parks…a superb and vast playground for developing beginners and intermediate skiers and boarders.

More Info

The Hinterglemm area (Zwölferkogelbahn) appeals to all standards and the descent to Lengau provides a challenging black run for confident intermediate and advanced skiers…. never has running away and joining the circus seemed so appealing!

Close

Beginner

The Hinterglemm area has the edge over Saalbach when it comes to nursery slopes. The area is separate from the main slopes meaning its quiet and lacks disturbance form other skiers. Saalbach also has a range of nursery slopes, the turmlift being an ideal area.


Intermediate

Get your coat; you’ve pulled! The Saalbach-Hinterglemm circus is an intermediate’s paradise. With approximately 90% of the terrain suitable for them, there are almost endless opportunities for intermediates to let their hair down and attack mile after mile of trouble-free but exhilarating terrain.

More Info

The pistes are wide and long, providing excellent amounts of time between runs to practice certain abilities, or just to reach high speeds. The links between pistes in phenomenal, allowing you to ski to the village from almost any gondola or chairlift.

Insider info: most of the black runs are easier than other resorts, meaning more experienced intermediates shouldn’t have a problem tackling these, also.

Close

Advanced

Both the RAF and Police hold their Ski Championships in Saalbach Hinterglemm - the big deal for advanced skiers and boarders is not so much the off-piste but the possibility of seemingly eternal, no-let-up high-speed cruising’n’carving over long distances, with the emphasis on the steeper slopes.

More Info

There are some good opportunities for seriously steep skiing across the valley on the north-facing slopes such as the long black run from Schattberg Ost back to Saalbach. The region is not stupendous in the off-piste dept, but there can be surprisingly sizeable pockets of powder after fresh snowfalls, particularly on the Schattberg, Zwölferkogel and Asitz and even on the motorway slopes down to Leogang.

Close

Freestyle & Snowboarding

The big news for freestylers and boarders is the Nitro Park located up the Asitzmuldenbahn six man chairlift. It is the bees knees - world class quality and without doubt one of the top three parks in Austria. They are constantly tweaking the setup and making improvements to reflect the snow conditions.

More Info

For the advanced skiers and boarders there are 25 metre gaps and long snake and rainbow rails. For the intermediate park skiers there are over 6 rail features and two jumps, which are big, but safe…ish!

Close

Apres Ski

P.A.R.T.Y central! Imagine Eurovision with snow and you get the picture; Dutch Scandanavians and German holiday-makers join the locals and British to make “S-H” anything but shhhhh! With 68 restaurants and 35 bars, you won’t be disappointed with what Saalbach has to offer. The action often starts mid afternoon on the mountain…and continues long after darkness falls with Bauer’s Skialm at the base of the nursery slopes particularly popular with an outdoor terrace, shaking the surrounding mountains with bass and uniquely Austrian après ski sounds.

Our Favourite Bars and Nightclubs:

  • Bauer Schi-Alm
  • Hinterhagalm
  • Arena
  • The London Pub
More Info

Bauer Schi-Alm

Probably the best aprés-ski place in town and located close to the Old Church. At Bauers you can see the locals dancing can-can to Frank Sinatra’s ‘New York, New York’. And that’s before they’ve ordered a drink!

Hinterhagalm

Very popular aprés-ski location; lively atmosphere and plenty of noise to get the party going all evening and into the night. All together now, “Oh - Hey Baby, ooh, ah…”

Arena

A trendy and up-market nightclub which attracts the late night crowds. There are two bars, a live band and plenty of couches if you prefer to sit down. Action starts after 11pm and goes on until way past your bedtime…

The London Pub

The one and only disco in town of Hinterglemm with two bars, dancefloor, funky music, and guest DJ’s performances. Clubbing until the early morning with local DJ’s and visiting ‘go-go’ girls who’s idea of a nurses uniform isn’t strictly nationa health…

Bespoke Apres & Events
