On the slopes

Many skiers and boarders like to complete a circuit of the Saalbach-Hinterglemm valley - there are more than 30 mountain bars and restaurants along the way, so refreshment is not a problem.

WE LIKE

  • Skiing favours intermediates. But do beware the reds and blues here are steeper than elsewhere.
  • Famous for its great apres ski which usually starts at 4pm and continues into the early hours.
  • Lifts and pistes are conveniently close to centres of both villages with some ski-in ski-out.

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Most slopes are below 2000m and they are sunny, not a good combination in a poor snow season.
  • Limited steep terrain for real experts.
  • Some of the apres ski is now getting a little tacky with the introduction of the lap dancing clubs.
