SKI SAALBACH, AUSTRIA

Saalbach-Hinterglemm is one of Austria's top ski resorts and together with neighbouring Leogang Fieberbrunn forms part of the massive 270km and 70-lift Ski Circus, one of the largest linked ski areas in the country. Saalbach was rated Europe's best ski resort in 2016, 2017 and 2018 by Powderhounds and was rated no. 2 in 2020. It has something for skiers of all levels. Endless blue runs for beginners and intermediates and almost limitless back country for the more advanced. The resort is family friendly yet has a very lively Après scene typical of the big Austrian resorts and unlike resorts in some parts of Europe prices in restaurants and on the slopes are reasonable.

We will be staying in a family run hotel on the edge of town. It boasts ski-in access and runs a continuous shuttle to/from the main lifts both morning and afternoon. The hotel is available on both a bed & breakfast or half board basis (evening meal included). Good Après is available on the slope prior to skiing back to the hotel. For enjoying the nightlife in town in the evening there is the option of a 20 minute walk or a taki at 15 euros between 4 people. Based on the enjoyment of previous guests and the competitive price we recommend the half board option even if you opt to take one or two evenings in town.
