Saalbach
Saalbach and its close neighbour, Hinterglemm, have united in
the picturesque Glemmtal Valley to form one of Europe's liveliest
ski resorts, which is particularly popular with Dutch, German and
Scandinavian holidaymakers
.The valley sides offer numerous ski slopes, but its low
altitude means that snow conditions can deteriorate quickly.
Nevertheless the resort has excellent snowmaking equipment, which
ensures good coverage in the sunshine. There are more than 125
miles (200km) of ski trails linked by lifts, mainly suited to
intermediate level skiers. There is, however, a two-mile long (3km)
expert mogul descent on the north facing Zwolferkogel, and more
than 60 miles (97km) of off-piste terrain. The pretty Tyrolean
style villages are fairly new, but the ambience is traditional with
chalets and sleigh bells adding to the charm.
