Saalbach-Hinterglemm sits at the heart of the vast Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn, one of Austria’s largest fully connected ski areas with 270 km of pistes. As the central and most famous base, Saalbach-Hinterglemm combines lively après-ski, a modern lift network, and direct access to the full circuit, making it the natural hub of the region. While neighbouring Leogang is quieter and family-focused, and Fieberbrunn is renowned for freeride terrain, it’s Saalbach-Hinterglemm that most skiers know, search for, and choose as their gateway to the Skicircus. This dual resort offers a mix of vibrant nightlife, varied skiing for all levels, and seamless connections across the surrounding valleys.

Have spent 2 seasons in Saalbach. Ski lift system is fast and efficient, even lots of heated seats and most have covers for when weather gets heavy. Peak times getting out of town can get bit crowded but never too long a wait. Piste management is incredible if not much snowfall and on sunny days can get heavy in afternoon. All in all great modern resort with fantastic food on piste and plenty of apres ski to be had.

Probably the best all round piste ski resort in Austria , lift and snow making is probably the best in Europe. Apres ski to almost rival St Anton but without the price tag
