Overview
Hotel Riegler is well located only 5 mins from central Saalbach and just a few seconds on the skibus to the new Schattberg gondola.
Description
The Hotel Riegler is well located only 7 mins from central Saalbach and just a minute on the skibus to the Schattberg gondola. Here we have a ski and boot store which converts a 7 minute walk in ski boots into an easy loosener in street shoes. It's best to start the day from the Schattberg gondola. There are plenty of other buses to other parts of the system that also stop close to the hotel, or you may want to walk around the shops and cafes before taking the lift. It's a colossal lift and one of the focal points of the whole system. From the mid station the blue run goes virtually back to the hotel. From the top an easy black or red eventually joins the blue.
The Riegler has great views of the north-facing slopes of the Schattberg mountain in front of the hotel. On the ground floor, the modern ski store exits onto the hotel terrace where a short, steep access road joins the main road and the ski bus stop. There's also a sauna next to the ski room, and a largish reception with internet access point and a sofa.
Most of the public areas are up on the first floor. The bar is very welcoming and well designed, with a pleasant ambience. The lounge has Sky TV and is a relaxing, quiet area, away from the main bar, which is next to the comfortable restaurant.
Most of the bedrooms have a balcony that gets the sun all day and all have private facilities. They are nicely decorated and comfortable. There are 3 double rooms that are slightly smaller than the twins.

About Saalbach
With 270km of interconnected slopes on its doorstep, Saalbach is a fantastic base for skiers looking to explore one of Austria's largest ski areas. The varied terrain caters to all abilities, from easily accessible nursery areas and gentle, tree-lined blue runs to steeper north-facing pistes for more experienced skiers. If you're keen to cover even more ground, a connecting gondola provides seamless access to the neighbouring Zell am See–Kaprun ski area, opening up even more terrain to discover.
Nestled in the picturesque Glemm Valley, Saalbach has all the charm of a classic Austrian village. Traditional timber buildings line the streets around the distinctive onion-domed church, while a river winds through the lively pedestrianised centre. Après-ski is a big part of the resort's appeal, with slopeside bars providing the perfect place for a celebratory drink after a day on the mountain. The fun continues well into the evening too, with a vibrant nightlife scene that includes bustling bars, live music venues and nightclubs that stay open into the early hours. Accommodation ranges from cosy, family-run guesthouses to stylish hotels with luxurious facilities.
When it's time for a break from skiing, there's plenty more to enjoy. Race down the alpine coaster for an adrenaline-filled ride, or have fun snow tubing as you glide downhill on a giant inflatable ring.
