AWESOME RESORT
BEEN GOING BACK HERE FOR LAST 10 YEARS Great that they put so much back into the resort every year with up to date fast lift system, groomed pistes and the best Apres ski both on and off the mountain.
Great resort to explore Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang Fieberbrunn
Hinterglemm is a great base for exploring the entire ski area. The most challenging slopes can be found in Zwölferkogel and Schattberg. If you are a beginner, you should go to the other side of the valley, for example,Hochalm offers good beginners possibilities. The blue slope to Leogang is quite nice and quiet even during the holidays. On the slopes, you can find many restaurants and the nice thing is that they are not self-service. The food is great and the staff is very friendly. The connection to Fieberbrunn is pretty fun, but the slope is quite difficult as the snow is often mushy or icy. It is not a red one, but pretty much a black one so not adapted to beginners. There are, however, a few downsides to the area. It is not high in altitude so the snow is often slushy. Besides, there are ski buses, but they do not stop at all lifts and walking from one side of the valley to the other side takes some time and is no fun with the ski boots. At last, the ski area is huge and you can enjoy nice trips, but if you like skiing off-piste, you'd better look for another area. The best off-piste opportunities are in Fieberbrunn.
Everything is right in Saalbach-Hinterglemm: lifts - skiing - apres-ski
It's just a SUPER nice area, especially Hinterglemm
Just perfect
Everything is just right in Saalbach Hinterglemm: modern ski lifts - super skiing - apres ski just how we like it - great ski area, especially Hinterglemm part Great to be able to ski out and back to our hotel - what a treat for the end of the day.
Super skiing for groups
We go back every year to Saalbach on our company trip (12 of us) and it it just seems to get better every year! We're all good skiers so we don't care about sunbathing on terraces - we just want good skiing and that's what you get here. Plenty of snow, super lift system and we rarely see a queue at the lifts. Have to say the mountain restaurants are great with traditional hearty Austrian food and friendly staff. We always get involved in a bit of apres-ski (as you have to when on a company ski trip!!) and in Saalbach there's a good choice of bars in particular the Goat Bar at the end of the run into Hinterglem. Each year we talk about choosing another resort but once we've done the rounds of what's on offer, we always end up choosing Saalbach! NO need to go elsewhere!
One of the best ski resorts in the Alps
Having skied many French, Italian and Swiss resorts over the years, we absolutely loved Saalbach. The skiing in the Ski circus is so varied that everyone in our group had a super ski holiday and we able to meet up easily at one of the great mountain restaurants at lunch. Really lively apres-ski - dancing on tables, drinking pints and skiing afterwards! We were very careful and only had a couple - not like many of the younger crowd! i guess you only live once!
Highly recommended for family ski trips
Spent a week in Saalbach in the school hols 2012. We were lucky with the weather, tons of snow before we arrived and then sunny skiing all week! Lucky I know! The skiing is really superb for all levels as the pistes are long with great views and plenty of challenging alternative routes. Great for families who don't want to split up but want to stay safe. Even though it was school holiday time, there were no massive queues and everyone seemed to keep moving if there were a few. You have to try goulash - the kids loved it - hearty meat stu oh and Germknodels - can't really explain what it is you just have to try one for afternoon tea! There are ski lockers at the shatenberg gondola which saves walking and carrying everyone's gear back and forth everyday. There were some really cool free style ski/snowboarder shows in the evening which the kids loved. Ski school teachers were just adorable - really patient and encouraging - nothing like those French instructors with their huge frites on their shoulders! Definitely highly recommend.
