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.
