An Austrian ski destination in the state of Salzburg and district of Zell am Zee, Saalbach ski resort is part of the Skicircus Area, which includes Saalbach, Hinterglemm, Leogang and Fieberbrunn. This vast area covers several mountain chains and valleys, including the beautiful Kitzbühel Alps.

This is sunny and friendly ski location with a 1050m resort altitude, a snow range of 709m – 2096m, an impressive 270km of pistes for skiers of all stripes and a super-efficient ski lift network comprising 70 lifts and a swift new 10-seater gondola that ferries a whopping 2600 skiers up the mountain per hour.

Saalbach is ‘the home of Lässig’ (laid-back ski culture), but that doesn’t mean that it’s not passionate about the quality of its pistes ̶ it attracts international pro events like the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup as well as everyday snowsports enthusiasts from all over Europe and beyond.

This is a great resort for novices, with superb ski schools and lots of gentle beginner’s runs, while there’s a huge choice of blue and red runs of varying difficulty for intermediate skiers. Meanwhile a few tasty black runs test advanced skiers and there’s some great off-piste after a fresh dump of powder, particularly on thrilling ungroomed runs between the trees.

If you’re a rider you won’t be disappointed with the snowboarding in Saalbach either, with lots of easy freeriding, plenty of sweeping intermediate slopes and two cracking parks available, including one for novices and a night park where you can tackle gnarly rails and boxes after dark. The pistes are spacious, with plenty of ungroomed terrain in between for off-piste fun and you can hire a local mountain guide if you want to explore the expansive Skicircus backcountry.
