Skiing in Saalbach
Beginners
Newbies have it easy here with two sunlit nursery areas just off the main street. After some practice, the wide and wooded slope below the Bernkogel gondola is the next stop. With a little more confidence, most of the resort becomes your playground, thanks to a network of beginner-friendly blue runs.
Advanced
Intermediate skiers will find a perfect mix of terrain, ranging from wide-open pistes to tree-lined trails. Sunny slopes below the Hochalm and Reiterkogel peaks are the go-to spots. Meanwhile, the Zehner chairlift offers challenging descents, balanced by an array of mellow reds and blues for those who prefer a relaxed pace.
Experts
Pro skiers have a buffet of challenges, especially the long black run under the Schattberg gondola. Within the Skicircus, the area also includes Fieberbrunn, which offers off-piste adventures that have even been featured in the Freeride World Tour.
Snowboarders
Boarders get the best of both worlds: wide slopes and hardly any flat sections. The lift system makes getting around a breeze, and when the snow falls, the powder between the pistes is sublime. There's also a top-notch snow park above Hinterglemm for freestylers.
Culinary
There’s no shortage of culinary delights, whether you're craving traditional Austrian fare or global flavors. From the rustic charm of Der Schwarzacher to the contemporary vibe at Del Rossi, there’s a bite for every appetite. Highlights also include Spielberghaus and Wieseralm.
Apres-ski
Saalbach nails the après ski experience, with more than 30 bars and clubs to choose from. The scene here kicks off early, with spots like Hinterhag Alm and Berger's Schi-Alm providing the perfect setting to unwind. Live music, theme nights, and a dynamic crowd keep the atmosphere vibrant.
For families
Families will find Saalbach to be an exceptional choice for a ski holiday. The resort offers kid-friendly slopes and top-notch ski schools, alongside a host of off-piste activities. Toboggan runs like the Spielberg and Reiterkogel add to the family fun, and attractions like the Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps offer alternatives to skiing.
