Hotel Alpin Juwel

Hinterglemm is a famous, traditional ski resort with a great atmosphere located just above the lively village of Saalbach at the end of the Glemmtal. This is an ideal destination, particularly for novice and intermediate skiers and snowboarders. Both villages are connected to each other by pistes as well as a ski bus service. You will find more than 50 restaurants here, some of which are true local favourites. The cosy mountain huts are a great traditional culinary option. Here, while the Glühwein is kept warm in a large pot on an open fire, you can sit back and try some of the local dishes. Of course there are plenty of lively bars and night clubs where you can dance away the night as well. Besides its long pistes, Saalbach-Hinterglemm is also renowned for its long nights! If you are interested in a more active après-ski you can also head for the indoor swimming pool, the ice skating rink and the tennis and squash courts. You can even decide to go paragliding over the Alps!

This destination has added flight options, if you have booked a holiday on the basis of private transportation. The transport from the airport to your accommodation is not inclusive and needs to be organised yourself. For an attractive fee you can book a rental car with Sunweb Holidays. Of course, you can also use the local public transport or take a taxi instead.

There are few areas as popular with ski enthusiasts as the Skicircus Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang-Fieberbrunn, in Austria. And of course there is a reason for that: its ski area is very diverse, its villages are beautiful, and its après-ski scene is fantastic. That’s not to mention its abundance of accessible and thrilling slopes.

The Villages

Saalbach and Hinterglemm are two charming villages that have grown considerably in recent years but have managed to retain much of their original charm. This is particularly true of Saalbach, where you can still enjoy a cosy and car-free main street. You will find many traditional hotels and apartments in both villages. There are plenty of luxury four- and five-star hotels, but there are also plenty of more affordable hotels, apartments, and guesthouses. Leogang and Fieberbrunn are a lot quieter and are especially popular with families. The ski area there are not too difficult and are free from crowds, and the villages are authentically Austrian.

The Skicircus alone has 270 kilometres of slopes and is one of the largest ski areas in Austria. You can also ski in the Schmitten family-friendly ski area, where you will find several themed runs for children. Finally, you can also go to the Kitzsteinhorn in Kaprun. This is the only glacier in Salzburg and offers a 100% snow guarantee, 365 days a year.

The Skicircus is the hotspot in the Austrian Alps. Whether it’s for skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, winter hiking, or cross-country skiing, there’s something for everyone in Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang-Fieberbrunn. And if there’s one place where the après-ski scene is alive and kicking, it is in this area. The après-ski festivities often start on the slopes there. In fact, for many ski enthusiasts, having lunch at one of the many mountain huts is a great reason to have their first schnapps. Don’t miss Goaßstall, Bauer’s Schi-Alm, Hinterhag Alm, and Underbar, the most popular venues in the area.

So much to discover

The arrival of the new Zell am See Xpress, which connects the Zell am See-Kaprun ski area to Viehhofen, has created a large new area: Ski Alpin. Viehhofen is connected to Saalbach via ski busses. In the future, a ski lift should soon be built to connect Viehhofen to the Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogan-Fieberbrunn ski area, so that the Ski Alpin area is completely interconnected. At the moment, there is already a blue run in the Skicircus that will take you towards Viehhofen. From there, you can take the Zell am See Xpress to Zell am See-Kaprun. To get back to the Skicircus from Viehhofen, you can catch a ski bus.

You will not find many challenging black slopes around Saalbach and Hinterglemm, but it is easy to get around on skis. The villages are well connected to each other, making it a breeze to explore.

The Alpine Skiing World Championships will soon be held in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. The training sessions and competitions for this will take place from February 4th - 16th, 2025. Don’t miss out on this spectacular experience!
