Saalbach/Hinterglemm (Skicircus)

Saalbach-Hinterglemm are two villages that form a joint ski area located in the eastern outskirts of the Alps. As a tourist resort in the Alps, they are relatively young. It was not until after World War II that tourists started to show up in what was previously a poor farmers community. Today, it's a completely different show, a modern and extensive lift system attracts over one million skiers per season. The extensive lift system also means that there is plenty of skiing in many different directions, so there is no excuse not to take advantage of the nice weather! The resort has a full focus on its skiing visitors which is pretty obvious considering that the main street is free of traffic and pedestrians have free passage.

Nowadays, these two villages are also linked to the renowned Fieberbrunn ski resort. Fieberbrunn complements Saalbach-Hinterglemm's extensive protected forest area with plenty of possibilities for high-alpine skiing, and also gives all the daredevils out there access to the north side of the mountain Wildseeloder, which is one of the more frequent stops in the Freeride World Tour.
