Ski holidays in Saalbach - The Glemm Valley above the resort offers one of the best integrated ski areas in Europe, with over 200km (125 miles) of trails fully lift-linked so that you can easily travel in either direction around the 'Skicircus'.
This is a good choice for beginners looking for a fun first holiday; the nursery slopes are by the villages so you're never far from a pit stop if you need one, and there are eight ski schools to choose from.
Intermediates will enjoy the vast ski area the most: with nine different access points to the skiing spread along the valley, including lifts from the village centres, it's extremely easy to get up and around. The resort has invested heavily in new lifts, including some recently added six seater bubble chair, so queuing is minimised.
Experts head for the north-facing Zwölferkogel which has a three kilometre (two mile) black mogul descent or they strike out in to the 100km (65 miles) of off-piste terrain in the company of a local guide.
The resort has a vast array of lift tickets on offer, although all cover all the lifts. Floodlighting was recently introduced on the trails below the Unterschwarzach lift in the resort centre so that skiers and boarders can continue throughout every evening. Cross country skiers have 12km (seven miles) of trails including a new high altitude trail of 1.7 km length up at 1800 metres on the sunny side of the Glemm Valley between Reiterkogel and Rosswaldhütte. There is a lift link over to the pretty village of Leogang in the next valley.
