Saalbach, located in the sunny Glemm valley, offers an abundance of stunning scenery. This area is unrivalled for both walking and the range of activities on offer. For those seeking an adrenalin rush, the Saalbach area offers over 200kms of marked mountain bike trails, with some challenging downhill courses to test your skills to the limit. Boasting a fine selection of shops, cafés and lively bars, Saalbach is a pretty village of traditional character with beautiful, flower-decked houses and genuine Austrian charm. The area comes alive at the beginning of June with the annual Harley Davidson Motorcycle festival, held in nearby Hinterglemm.
Our opinion
· Set in an idyllic, meandering valley flanked by the impressive Kitzbüheler Alps · Outstanding scenery to explore on foot or sit back and absorb · Genuine Austrian hospitality · In high season take the mini train from the end of the valley (Lengauerhof) up to the Lindlingalm hut for local food and excellent views (you can walk this pathway too) · Bursting with activities to suit all ages!
