Saalbach Flights and Travel Guide

Saalbach and its close neighbor, Hinterglemm, have united in the picturesque Glemmtal Valley to form one of Europe's liveliest ski resorts, which is particularly popular with Dutch, German and Scandinavian visitors. The valley sides offer numerous ski slopes, but the low altitude means that snow conditions can deteriorate quickly. Nevertheless, the resort has excellent snowmaking equipment, which ensures good coverage in the sunshine. There are more than 125 miles of ski trails linked by lifts, mainly suited to intermediate level skiers. There is, however, a two-mile long expert mogul descent on the north facing Zwolferkogel, and more than 60 miles of off-piste terrain. The pretty Tyrolean style villages are fairly new, but the ambience is traditional, with chalets and sleigh bells adding to the charm.

Saalbach Insider Information

• Saalbach links with Hinterglemm and gives you a large ski area – more typically French than Austrian – which is especially good for intermediate skiers.
• Go to the Hinterhagalm tea bar for your final stop on the last run back to Saalbach. Before you know it the place is packed, the Alpine music is loud and the night has started.
• Walk up and down the middle of the traffic-free main street and enjoy the wooden chalets and carved balconies. Although there are no cars, there is plenty of human traffic all night every night.
