Ski Holidays in Saalbach, Austria

Saalbach ski holidays combine an attractive Austrian village with the convenience (excellent lift links and good piste maintenance) of French resorts. Saalbach and Hinterglemm are 4km apart, with the former being the more attractive and traditional ski holiday destination, as well as being traffic-free. Both Saalbach and Hinterglemm ski holidays offer slope-side accommodation and some great local cuisine. Mountain eateries are varied and enjoyable and, because there are plenty of sunny terraces, there is many a tanning opportunity. For kids, Hinterglemm ski holidays offer better facilities.

Saalbach Ski Holidays: The Skiing

Saalbach-Hinterglemm, like Ischgl, is one of the biggest lift-linked ski holiday destinations in Austria. With 200km of runs, all abilities are catered for, particularly better intermediates. For advanced skiers, there is slightly less appeal to a Saalbach ski holiday, with limited expert-only terrain (the Glemm Valley is an exception). There is an excellent ski school and good nursery slopes for beginners. Snowboarders and freestyle skiers are spoilt on Saalbach ski holidays with a specialist park and half-pipe.

Saalbach Ski Holidays: Off the Snow

Saalbach-Hinterglemm ski holidays offer top après-ski and nightlife, although it can get rather rowdy with hordes of young Dutch, Brits, Scandinavians and Germans flooding the villages' bars and clubs. As for other things to do besides skiing, there are usually weekly competitions and ski/boarding demonstrations to watch, but beyond that not much.

Why Saalbach?

- Skiing for all abilities
- Attractive village
- Great après ski and nightlife
