Saalbach ski information
The superb ski resort of Saalbach has an attractive village centre with a lively, traditional atmosphere and sophisticated après ski. We also offer accomodation on our website in the nearby resort of Hinterglemm. The extensive Ski Circus is renowned for its efficient lift system and excellent range of skiing and snowboarding and boasts an impressive snow record as well as some wonderful sun traps.
Linked ski area
The Ski Circus circuit, with over 200km of piste, is one of the best-linked systems in Austria and includes nearby Leogang and Vorderglemm. Away from the slopes, Saalbach has a wide choice of apres-ski bars and restaurants to choose from, while Hinterglemm is more low-key.
