Forecast today: Light snow
But if you do, expect some varied skiing, long descents and uphill travel via arguably the world’s best lift system – most of the lifts are fast gondolas or high-capacity chairlifts.
With so much terrain to explore, why not let Ski Club Freshtracks take the strain and help you to discover this fantastic ski area this season?
Access to the local Asitz mountain above the village is via two gondolas, but absolute beginners will want to stick to the valley’s learning areas. Long runs drop back down to the village through the woods – these can be a blast first thing in the morning when freshly groomed. From the summit, three fast 8-seater chairs and a 6-pack serve short, gentle slopes but more importantly link in with the Saalbach valley.
Once in the Saalbach valley, a vast network of pistes opens up. These are mostly well-groomed blues and reds – of which the long blue 2b is a favourite.
Advanced skiers should head to the steep, ungroomed slopes above Fieberbrunn – you can get here either by skiing via Hinterglemm and the TirolS gondola or by catching a bus up the valley from Leogang – or to the steep groomed pistes beneath Schattberg.
Compared to the bustle and buzz of Saalbach and Hinterglemm, Leogang is a much quieter base from which to explore the Skicircus. Family-run hotels – most of which are well equipped with spa facilities – dominate the accommodation offering and most are only a stone’s throw away from the lifts.
Away from the slopes, cross country skiing and winter walking are major attractions here. Just up the valley is Hochfilzen, host each year to the Biathlon World Cup, which is home to some of Austria’s best cross country routes.
Connections between Leogang and the rest of the Ski Circus (Saalbach, Hinterglemm and Fieberbrunn) open on Friday 6 December 2024 and close 13 April 2025.

Updated 28/01
Good snow has come to the Austrian Alps on Tuesday, as a favourable Jetstream trajectory brings unsettled conditions and cold air from the west and north. This will tail off over Tuesday night and Wednesday, but floccons will continue to fall throughout the rest of the week as cloud cover dominates.
Things will remain cool to cold throughout the week, with the freezing line hovering around 1,500m throughout this week – this will tail off and drop off into the weekend, falling as low as 1,000m, and more sun moving in.
