The Skiing in SAALBACH-HINTERGLEMM-LEOGANG

The Skicircus of Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang covers some 200kms of piste and is cleverly interlinked across north and south faces of a long valley. The perfect resort for endless cruising along your choice of Greens, Blues, Reds or Blacks. The lift system is modern and efficient as is the free Skibus service in the valley that allows you to leapfrog ahead - if you are late for your luncheon appointment... Speaking of food, there are 46 mountain restaurants strewn across the mountainside, so you are never too far from a Strüdl, Heißeshokolade or Glühwein. The unique charm of the resort is present in every ancient timber of these fabulous alpine Hutte. And the lunchtime cuisine can be anything from Wurst und Chips to prime Venison steaks and fine wine. Mile upon mile of piste to investigate

Our ski hotels in Hinterglemm

Blumenhotel Tirolerhof****

The most central hotel in Hinterglemm (right beside the Reiterkogelbahn lift) is the Tirolerhof****. It is also just happens to be one of the best-run establishmnets in town and amongst our favourite ski hotels.

From the back door of the Tirolerhof it is only one hundred yards or so to the cable car station: from the front door the bars and restaurants of the village are a similar distance - perfect!

The Tirolerhof has its own small Spa area just right for relaxing after a hard day on the mountain - or maybe a massage to prepare those overworked thighs to dance the night away? There is also an indoor/outdoor pool.

Our ski hotels in Leogang

Landhotel Kirchenwirt****

In the centre of the rural hamlet of Leogang the Landhotel Kirchenwirt has stood beside the church since 1326 and overseen the goings on in Leogang for centuries.

With only 17 bedrooms it is a quiet and exclusive little hideaway for those who appreciate a real Austrian atmosphere and are prepared to try their hand at the language. The rewards are genuine, old-fashioned, Austrian hospitality, outstanding food and peace and quiet in an intimate atmsophere. Once discovered, many of the hotel guests return year after year: more like staying with old friends than in a hotel.

Leogang in bygone days

Leogang in its early days

The excellent restaurant

The spacious hotel bedrooms

The hotel is not however totally antique! Hannes & Lisabeth Unterrainer the owners have added a small sauna and indoor hot-tub on the first floor. Perfect for a quiet moment after a long day on the slopes. And all the hotel rooms have the facility to create a steam room in the shower cubicle.

There is a ski shop beside the hotel, which although small seems to have just about everything - and if they don't have it in stock, the owner is quite disposed to jump in his car and go and find it for you!

kirchenwirt Apartments

A short walk from the hotel (100yds or so) there are some modern apartments that belong to the Unterrainer family also and are available to let. These are properly equipped with full kitchens, en-suite bedrooms, dining rooms and are perfect for parties or families who would like the flexibility of being able to self-cater on some evenings. Of course you may stay in the apartments and take breakfast and dinner at the hotel each day, or just breakfasts - the choice is yours!

The skiing in Leogang

There is one ski lift in Leogang, just 100yds from the hotel, that serves a quiet nursery slope - ideal for beginners, or for finding your legs again before you tackle the bigger stuff. There is also a ski-school in Leogang where we can arrange group or individual lessons for you; or just a guide.

To reach the main slopes of the enormous Ski-circus you will need to take the free shuttle bus that runs every 15mins. for the 5-minute journey to the main cable-car station at Leogang.
