Saalbach/Hinterglemm (Skicircus) reviews (Page 5)

Saalbach is ok, but Hinterglemm is better!
I worked in Ski- und Snowboardschule Activ in Hinterglemm last season and a couple of weeks this year. So I have driven the hills in Hinterglemm a number of times. Zwölferkogel and Westgipfel are best in the ski system.

Bergstadl is the absolute best and most cozy place. Skifahrer salad is a must!

Apre'ski is always fun. Do not miss Hinterhag Alm, Bauer and Heidi's schirmbar.

Rodel is very fun, especially from Spielberghaus. When the pistons go up, eat and drink late, they roll down.

If you are Swedish you will sooner or later arrive at Castello.

When it has snowed, there are unspoiled areas for quite some time because there are not many seasons just in Hinterglemm.

Now that you easterly it was snowing just when everyone thought the season had ended. Then it was gay.

Leave a few months in Saalbach.
Come down to quite a bit of snow that did not offer a ride at all except a slalom when avoiding the nice brown parties in the piste. But close came the snow. During one and a half week, there was almost no pistol at all but just offpist out in the deep snow. Much of the drive down there was concentrated around Schattberg at the highest and on the shadow side. But there was also a good untouched offpiste above Hinterglemm.

In the evenings then became a round standard. Open up on the aftershine on Hinterhag Alm which is absolutely awesome if you get a table. When you get there, you have a moment to take a look and get ready. Spitzbub is the first stop, a very small pub with very good atmosphere. Continue on to Castello where there are a lot of Swedes, but the music is good so you dance until it closes, which is quite early (2 o'clock).
Exit at Bobbys where you can sit almost until the sun rises and you are happy and contented to tear home.

Went there last Saturday and then the sun began to hit the snow a lot. However, at the beginning of the week it was okay.
When there is snow, the system is really well built, you take quite easily from the systems in Saalbach to the systems in Hinterglemm. The Austrians are quite calm at this season, so the snow outside the slopes is relatively untouched.
One tip is to go up to Zwölfer with one of the gondolas, and then slide the little transport line that starts the pace no. 14. Then take off the stuff and get up along the mountaintop that stands right up in the weather. After just over half an hour, you just roll out of the right, take the comb and go all the way down to again, pace no. 14
The ride around Schattberg is also quite ok. If you go up to Schattberg West, you only have to tuck off the stuff and go up to Schattberg then go down to the transport route to Schattberg Ost.
If you're lucky with the weather, then a road right on Westgipfel Sessellift 3 is recommended, but the ride starts with a small drop in from a hanging rake, as there is snow, or you'll be right in the rocks as you land ...

Unfortunately, the dragon in the village did not have to be if you missed the Easter weekend. Looks like you forget about this party after Easter ... Otherwise a very nice city with lots of good food. The ox fillet on Peters is a must! The best pistachio is otherwise at the end of the Gerstreitalm lift, it's really nice to relax in the sun for a while.

Finally, thanks to the ski instructors at Activ Ski School who took the time to show a wild Swedish around on the best track!

Have it!

They are doing good riding and fun slopes and they are so big. a pure 5a they get.

Saalbach is a gem.

Large lift system with many slopes because it is connected with Hinterglemm.

Lots of cozy restaurants in the middle of the piste where you can stop for a Gulasch soup. (Try Pfefferalm, small and cozy without electricity!)

There are lots of very accessible offpist where the snow may lie until you raised it yourself because most of the "skiing" bumsen are young and just hanging out. The "Spielberghaus" and "Tysta huset" are two long fine off-pistes that you should test.

Festivals are obviously if that's what you're looking for, Austrians and Dutchers do not spott directly into the glasses. Pitch dance on aftershine, including at Hinterhagalm, you should have experienced before going home.

Good restaurants with good food in the village. Go eat "Peters", where they have first class food!

Visit Bobby`s and play flipper, billiards and bowling (type bowling).

Cozy town until the end of the season, it's so bad that you get dark red on the bright day. Everything bums again, restaurants, hotels, shops ... Then there's not much to do there. Then it's time to return home again!

Were there the year after the year before in Kitzbühel ... Kitzbühel is guaranteed to be higher.
but, of course, there are some challenges for the "ordinary swimmer", unfortunately, it's no longer for you who go more than a week a year. But Austrians are nice and hospitable, that's a big plus

Offpiste at the top of the black back (No. 14 on the pistemap) is superb in the morning but can be heavy a little later in the day. Another good scratch is to turn left between the low instincts at the World Cup at the top and slant into the woods.
At the Blue (7km back) there is a good offpiste down towards Jausern. Stay calm down at the Almen and take a choccorum.
The night life will leave you a little more to wish in Saalbach, but if you go to Z.a.z there is more to go.

It's nice offpiste. Sunny and nice. Very nice mountain village
+ Not much queues
- some hope and snowboarding sucks

A wonderful ski resort for everyone. I've been there for 19 years and have been to several other places in Austria and Switzerland before. Good skiing combined with true Austrian gem. Child friendly.
+ anything to choose from.
No queues. "Always" sun
Cozy, cool, sweet!
- some year it has been bad with snow week 8, but it has always been possible to go

(Saalbach / Hinterglemm) This is the place for those who want to go fast, free or tough, ranging from long relatively steep slopes to goa red slopes that are made for delicious carvade curves and nice offpiste.

+ moderate with "professionals" you may have a lot of offpiste for yourself. Going shortly after New Year, then it is very good with people.

- Well .. something must be done ...
