Saalbach

The main base and the heart of the party — a slope-side village at around 1,000 m sitting central to the circuit, with lifts from the door and bars that run late. Larger and more polished than Hinterglemm, and the natural pick if you want to be in the thick of it.

  • 1,000 m Village base
  • 2,090 m Top lift
  • 1,295 m Vertical
  • 190 Pistes mapped
