Ski or Snowboard Saalbach, Austria

Add to My List Check Off

Ski or snowboard in Saalbach for best intermediate skiing and a long long round multi mountain ski circuit run possible in both directions and connected everywhere by ski bus. 200km slopes and 55 lifts. Kitzbuhel is known for prettiest alpine village and streets and good intermediate skiing hits World Cup. Saalbach is one of Austria's premier ski resorts, offering a wide range of runs, extensive off piste, and an excellent snow record. Skiing can be found on both sides of the valley. The runs on the north side of the valley (south-facing side) tend to be preferred by visitors due to their sunny weather. The pistes on the south side of the valley (north-facing side) are normally in the shade, so have better snow cover, particularly in late season, as well as more trees. Much of the off piste skiing is found on the north side, where thigh-deep, untouched powder can be found only metres from many of the pistes. There is a small snowpark in Hinterglemm, but experienced snowboarders and skiers prefer to head to the snowpark in the adjacent valley in Leogang, which boasts superior kickers, as well as rails and jibs. Saalbach-Hinterglemm also features 6 and 8-man chairlifts with heated seats and retractable covers for use in bad weather.
