The twin villages of Hinterglemm and Saalbach boast a vast interconnecting ski experience with 54 lifts and 9 access points across the Glemm valley. Saalbach is the larger of the two and is best suited to intermediate skiers and boarders whilst Hinterglemm is best for novice and less experienced intermediates.
