On the Slopes
But its not just about the lift system and the pistes, the two towns are vibrant but attractive places. Lively après ski bars make this a popular party resort, but don’t let this put you off as there are a lot of quieter parts and a great selection of good, family-run hotels.
Hinterglemm is home to the area’s best beginner zone, with several drags and magic carpets accessing sunny, gentle slopes. Progression from here on to long, cruisey blues is excellent, with an great selection of well-groomed, wide pistes to choose from across the Skicircus.
Confident intermediates will love the sense of travel that you can gain reaching the far extremes of the region. Head over to Leogang to avoid the crowds on busy days and the long runs down from Schattberg offer up 1000m of vertical and can be delightfully quiet. For more advanced skiers and boarders, the slopes of Fieberbrunn are world-class – indeed they are good enough to be a venue for the Freeride World Tour each winter.
In the Resort
Saalbach and Hinterglemm are separate villages, their centres 4km apart, which have expanded along the floor of their dead-end east-west valley. They haven’t quite merged, but a range of accommodation can be found in between the two. Both resorts, but Saalbach in particular, are noted for their vibrant, après ski and nightlife, with the party starting from 3pm and running till early morning.
Off the slopes, the Saalbach Valley is home to some excellent walking trails and groomed cross country routes. Up on the mountain, there are several tobogganing routes, including a floodlit trail down Reiterkogel.

Updated 14/01
High pressure dominates over most of Europe this week, thanks to the Jetstream forming a strong barrier along the west cost of Ireland, the UK and Norway. As a result, plenty of sun and fine, dry and bright conditions will be story of the week from now until the end of the weekend.
Things will remain cold, however, with a freezing line camping out at around 1,000m, occasionally peaking to 2,000m in the midday sun. Daytime highs of -5°C can be expected at 2,000m, occasionally slipping into positive temperatures throughout the week.
A few flurries of snow will move in to some areas on Wednesday as a pocket of low pressure moves into Eastern Europe, but this will barely measure on the snowstick.
This barrier is broken as the weekend comes to a conclusion, with more unsettled weather moving in over the course of the new week – it is still to far out to see what affect this may have.

Jamie Thompson
Repping dates: 11/01/2025 - 25/01/2025I’ve been skiing for 30 years or more, worked a season in Val d’Isère and Klosters - including a summer season. I’m returning to repping having first took the Reps’s course in 2004 and repped in Tignes the following 3 years. Challenging off-piste or social on-piste, I just love the environment and sharing the experience with others. Looking forward to skiing with you all.
Graham Morgan
Repping dates: 25/01/2025 - 08/02/2025Grew up in Tenby West Wales with early years very much focused on water based activities. Had the opportunity to go on a school Ski Trip when I was 15 and immediately bonded with Mountains. Spent 30 plus years addicted to Mountain Biking and that evolved into Hiking & Running. Enjoy nothing more than summer trekking in The Alps with the odd change of scenery in North/South America. Based in Cardiff have the fantastic Brecon Beacons on the doorstep to explore and enjoy. My real buzz has always been skiing and having extensive experience of Europe and North America I absolutely relish every day I can get out on the snow.
Alban Donohoe
Repping dates: 08/02/2025 - 22/02/2025My first ever experience of skiing was at the age of 14 when I screwed a pair of antique skis to my walking boots and learned to fall down Saddleworth Moor, fortunately it has improved a little since then. I love playing hard and skiing hard with a nice lunch thrown in along the way I look forward to meeting, skiing and enjoying the apres bars with you all.
Richard Wood
Repping dates: 22/02/2025 - 08/03/20251st trip aged 11 with SCGB to Scotland....a few leisure trips in early 20's...fast forward to 1999 when rugby playing days ended...started trying to improve as a skier rather than ski simply to enjoy the après ski....lucky enough to have got through the rep's course in 2004 and since then have enjoyed many wonderful days on and off the slopes with fellow ski enthusiasts. Off piste, on piste and afterwards ... skiing ... love it. Chartered Surveyor, self employed.
Steve Palmer
Repping dates: 08/03/2025 - 22/03/2025Skiing is my passion and I have been doing it for more than three decades. In the summer you will find me mountain biking my local single-track routes. I spent a whole season in Fernie, Canada, and it was amazing. My top picks for ski resorts are Fernie and Whistler, but I love anywhere in the mountains. Whether it's gliding on a blue run, dodging the trees on a black double diamond, or exploring the backcountry, I enjoy every moment of it. Nothing beats the feeling of being in the mountains.
