Saalbach-Hinterglemm is a connected ski area in Austria offering traditional and contemporary accommodation in a lively and vibrant environment.

Saalbach is a beautiful Tirolean village and, unlike most Austrian resorts, the lifts run into the centre of the village. Often paired with neighbouring Hinterglemm, the large, well-linked area is great for all abilities and has an impressive lift system with the highest proportion of fast lifts of any major resort in the world.

Saalbach claims to offer the best après ski in the Alps, with a large number of bars in the village attracting a variety of crowds and keeping the entertainment going throughout the evening.

"Great to see that the resort actively improves lift system .I normally ski in the Alberg but this area rivals it with long cruisy runs intermingled with steeper options and easily accessible off piste options. Will be returning to explore further."

"Great skiing but perhaps not ideal for beginners (most blue runs were great but some were mire red than blue). Beautiful location and great apres ski bars and restaurants. If it's not your first trip definitely worth a visit. Coach transfers were under 2 hours and scenic pleasure."

Skiing in Saalbach-Hinterglemm

The extensive ski area that forms around the villages of Saalbach-Hinterglemm creates a circuit that results in the ability to ski from valley to valley and piste to piste throughout the day. The area is great for intermediates with its sunny south-facing slopes and some long red and blue runs. For the more advanced, there is more challenging terrain around the north-facing side, including the 4km long Nordabfahrt run. With a revamped lift system most of the resort's lifts are fast and efficient, meaning that you can keep skiing until your heart's content.

Après Ski in Saalbach-Hinterglemm

Starting early and finishing late, ‘the best après ski in the Alps', is allegedly in Saalbach. One of the most infamous bars is Hinethag Alm where the party starts and continues down into town to Bauer’s Schi-Alm, an old cow shed with attached umbrella bars. The uniquely renovated medieval jail that is now Zum Turm is an interesting place to have a drink after a long day. The nightlife is much quieter in Hinterglemm but Hinterhag is a fun, goat-themed bar that is a great place to enjoy a drink off the mountain.
