The Location: Sunny Plateau on Haidweg with Slopes in Sight

The 4-star superior hotel is situated on a sunny plateau along Haidweg in Hinterglemm, elevated above the valley floor yet right in the center of the action. The Unterschwarzachbahn valley station and ski slope access are just 93 meters away. Ski buses, parking hassles, and carrying heavy gear are completely eliminated throughout your stay.

Getting to the center of Hinterglemm is just as effortless: the hotel’s own panoramic elevator takes you down comfortably and barrier-free for an evening stroll, après-ski, or heading to the ski school. Returning up is just as simple—even with a stroller, ski bags, or tired legs.

Ski ALPIN CARD

With the Ski ALPIN CARD, your ski terrain expands to 408 kilometers of slopes. In addition to the Skicircus, the pass includes the Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See and the snow-sure Kitzsteinhorn glacier ski area in Kaprun. This is especially convenient during variable weather: if rain reaches the valley, premium snow is guaranteed on the glacier. No pass changes required—a single ticket opens all three regions.

Skiing After Sunset

The floodlit slope at the Unterschwarzachbahn is within easy walking distance of the hotel. If you feel like taking a few extra turns after dinner, you can reach the lift in minutes. The adjacent Nightpark is a favorite among freestylers and can also be enjoyed simply as a spectator from the hotel.

Winter Beyond the Slopes: Excursions in the Glemm Valley

A winter holiday in Saalbach Hinterglemm works wonderfully even without skis. The Glemm Valley is scenic, easy to navigate, and exceptionally picturesque toward the valley head (Talschluss).

  • Hinterglemm Valley Head & Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps: The suspension bridge can be crossed in winter, right next to the Tree-Top Trail (Baumzipfelweg) through snowy canopies. For a more leisurely outing, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride to the rustic Lindlingalm.
  • Winter Hiking & Snowshoeing: Around 140 kilometers of cleared winter hiking trails wind through forests, along sunny high-altitude paths, and across the valley floor, offering expansive views of the Pinzgau Grasberge.
  • Tobogganing Day & Night: The illuminated toboggan runs on the Reiterkogel and at the Spielberghaus are classic evening favorites for the whole family.
  • Cross-Country Skiing in the Glemm Valley: Groomed tracks for classic and skating styles run along the valley floor, with a sportier high-altitude trail waiting at the valley head.
  • Après-Ski & Hinterglemm Center: Reachable within minutes via the panoramic elevator, ensuring an equally simple return.
