Unofficially twinned, Saalbach and Hinterglemm have married some of the most thrilling Austrian skiing and snowboarding in one expansive location. Want more miles on the clock? Saalbach-Hinterglemm keeps everyone happy, so you’ll find heaps of easy, intermediate and challenging slopes – not to mention some awesome off-piste. It’s got a typical Austrian chalet town feel, too.
The wider Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn ski area is home to Saalbach-Hinterglemm, one of Salzburg’s finest. It’s easy to get to from the state’s airport, just over 80km away.

There are many runs of all colours across the Glemm Valley. You’ll come across nursery slopes and ski schools if you’re a less savvy skier, but things get more exciting the further into the Skicircus area. Mini-slopes are even part of this network. There’s a speedy lift system and only 4km between each base, so getting around is even simpler. What’s more, with the Ski Alpin Card, you can take on the whole Skicircus area plus Zell am See-Kaprun, meaning more than 400km of pistes!
Snowboarders are treated to some epic vantage points across the off-piste zones and parks. There are groomed runs for generally getting about, but the half-pipes are particularly great. There are only two in total but they’re worth checking out, plus moguls, rails, jumps and steep blacks for a full-on board adventure.
Refuel in over 40 restaurants across these two towns and order traditional Austrian fare. You can’t go wrong with game and dumplings! What better way to round off the night with live music sessions? Local clubs have thrown their doors open for decades, so they’re well versed in heady club vibes. If that doesn’t tick your box, get involved in floodlit tobogganing.
