As well as being one of the largest ski areas in the Alps, Saalbach Hinterglemm has a lot more to offer. With a wide range of activities off-piste, the winter wonderland in Salzburg also attracts non-skiers to the valley in the heart of Austria.

One of the most beautiful ways to explore the scenic winter landscape is by taking a walk on one of the winter hiking trails, of which cover over 140 km. After a comfortable ascent with the lift, take in the stunning views across the valley - the goal: one of 60 cosy huts with sun terrace. However, you can also explore the region without taking a ski lift. Emerge yourself in a world of peace and tranquillity. The tourist office offers guided walks twice daily, free of charge.

Snowshoe hikes at the end of the valley give an insight into the impressive views of the surrounding mountains. A world far away from the ski slopes which offers a welcome change of scenery to the cold winter in the city and where romantics can enjoy a horse-drawn sleigh ride under the open starry skies.

Snowmen instead of sandcastles
A winter holiday in the mountains is also a unique experience for children. With snowball fights and building snowmen, the kids will soon forget a holiday by the sea. The new Kids Winter Challenge offers plenty of action for the little ones. The small winter explorers who dare to whizz down the 3.2 km long toboggan run on the Reiterkogel, explore the Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps and the Tree Top Trail, as well as attempt to climb up to the 12er KOGEL summit cross have almost mastered the challenge. The ice rink in Hinterglemm is where ice princesses and princes make their pirouettes and ice hockey players chase the puck, offers a playful and sporty alternative, but is also part of an adventurous task. A magical walk with lanterns is the fifth experience of the challenge, which, if completed successfully, will be rewarded with a snowflake medal.
