Ski Hinterglemm and you're just 4 miles from Saalbach and Austria's most popular destination after Vienna. Located close to Salzburg there's a great range of terrain in the Glemm Valley, especially for beginners and intermediates.

Where?

As part of Austria's Ski Circus, ski Hinterglemm to access a network of 55 lifts and over 200km of piste (and miles of off-piste too!). There's an excellent snow record and a modern lift system with a pretty, traditional-style village. Access to this resort is best from Salzburg although even Innsbruck, Munich or Klagenfurt are possible if you don't mind a slightly longer transfer.

On the slopes

When you ski Hinterglemm you can enjoy the 200km Ski Circus circuit. As the main circuit is made up of easy blues and undemanding reds, anyone with a reasonable ability and some stamina can attempt it - it gives you the chance to ski somewhere different each day rather than skiing the same bit of mountainside again and again. Close to home, the almost exclusively blues and reds offer some great wide pistes.

Snowboarders will also enjoy this resort, with two terrain parks, a boardercross course, and a half-pipe. There are also some great opportunites to delve into the off piste areas for deep snow. Experts can also use the Schattberg cable car to do the north-facing Zwölferkogel run - a 3km black mogul run down into Saalbach.
