WE say
Reliable snow and a modern lift system links Saalbach with the adjoining village Hinterglemm creating an extensive ski circuit. Great for ski-to-lunchers and night owls.
With its massive linked 'ski circus' and traditional Austrian charm, Saalbach-Hinterglemm is pretty much the ideal ski resort. Like many Austrian resorts it has a pretty, traditional-style village and lively nightlife, but unlike many it combines this with a very extensive circuit of slopes on both sides of a valley, and runs are linked by an efficient modern lift system. Its slopes resemble a French resort more than a traditional Austrian one - with the added advantage of excellent traditional mountain restaurants dotted around.
Intermediates have a massive choice of sunny cruising, ski tours and glorious, long runs through trees. Good skiers with thighs of steel can probably do the whole circuit in a day, but it's a challenge! Saalbach is top for snowboarders, with fun parks, wonderful off-piste and a sympathetic lift system.
The nursery slopes in Saalbach are located right beside the main street of the town so mummies and daddies can train their prodigious offspring without having to leave the welcoming confines of the shopping or drinking streets nearby.
For the advanced skiier there is a two-mile long (3km) expert mogul descent on the north facing Zwolferkogel, and more than 60 miles (97km) of off-piste terrain. You can see the best ski and snowboard talent on display from the local schools every Wednesday and if you didn´t get enough of the pistes during the day, on Tuesdays and Thursdays you can enjoy night-time skiing on the floodlit slope.
Apart from imbibing or eating, holidaymakers can enjoy a bout of tennis, bowling, sleigh rides or floodlit skiing or take a dip in the Hinterglemm swimming pool or saunas. Or you could take a day trip to visit the nearby thermal baths. Alternatively you could take the two-hour trip to Salzburg, where Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born.
