The Skiing

The Saalbach ski area is one of the most effective linked large lift systems in Austria. The skiing is completely interlinked except for having to cross the road to the Hochalmbahn gondola.

Many guests, new to Austria skiing, have been very impressed with the lack of queues and lift quality compared to France.

The slopes face both North and South so it's easy for the Ski Miquel ski guides to choose an area to suit the conditions as well as terrain to suite the group.

The investment in new lifts has been significant over the last few years. This winter three lifts are being replaced by bigger faster lifts with good weather protection. Saalbach's skier experience becomes even more comfortable!

The runs are often wide and always well groomed however a good selection of challenging blacks and itinerary runs provide a good selection for the stronger skier. The north face of the Zwolferkogel run with its tough variations needs to be on the list of good skiers.

The famous Ski Circus is a long circular tour in either direction that can be enjoyed without having to ski tough runs. It really does not matter where you finish as the free valley bus service is very convenient and stops close to the Christina.

The resort has consistently good snow including resort level skiing at Easter,  this photo is from April 09. The huge snow making capacity ensures a good pre Christmas start and a deep base that lasts until the resort closes.

Saalbach mountain huts are world class, the Austrians are good at looking after guests and this area is an excellent example.

Quality and prices are very good, a big contrast to the big named resorts of France. Last season a big beer was €3.50 on the mountain. You will be served quickly and  very pleasantly. Beware of the happy hour offer of 2 for 1 drink from 3:30pm. The ski back is possible but go steady.

Antonia adds to the on mountain entertainment on Sundays, her fans are hoping for a repeat this winter.

THE  VILLAGE

The car free village center, close to the Christina is a tastefully large village very much in the Austrian charm and style. There are a wide range of bars, shops and restaurants serving a variety of food which caters for all tastes.

Above all the apres ski distinguishes this resort form most others, anywhere. There are many after ski venues at the foot of the slopes, then after dinner head for many of the bars and nightclubs which cater for all age groups and tastes
