Beginners

Both areas provide good facilities for the beginner. Saalbach’s two nursery slopes are situated in the heart of the village centre. Hinterglemm’s spacious nursery slopes are located at the edge of the village. The south-facing side of the valley has the most blue runs for beginners to progress on to.

Intermediates

This area is a paradise for the intermediate skier. There’s plenty of mileage to cover and plenty of long, flattering blue and red runs which wind their way down to the valley floor. The north-facing side of the valley offers some more challenging runs, including some relentless reds from Schattberg West and Zwolferkogel. An all-time favourite is the long cruise down to Leogang.

Advanced

With over 200km of marked pistes, even expert skiers will find all the skiing they can handle. For those who like it tough there are a number of difficult red and black runs particularly on the Zwolferkogel. For some fun off-piste, guides are available.

Snowboarding

This extensive, well-linked area is a snowboarders’ heaven with a wealth of interesting terrain to suit all ability levels. There are two snowboard parks offering jumps and ramps for more advanced riders as well as a huge choice of long red and blue runs for people who just want to cruise.
