Ski area Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn
From Saalfelden, skiers can reach Leogang in a few minutes for the lift entrance to the Skicircus. The slopes above the village are mainly blue and easy to ski. However, there is also a race course with timed runs and the Tarlack run, a black run for experts. There is a children's area for the little ones. The gondola lift takes you over the Asitz to the Glemmtal, where more beautiful carving runs, numerous mogul slopes, steep slopes and two floodlit slopes await you. Numerous snow-making facilities also ensure snow reliability. Wonderful freeriding opportunities can be found, for example, at Zwölferkogel-West and Schattberg-West and offer the best conditions for professionals.
For even more variety, the Asitzbahn takes you directly over the Asitz into the Glemmtal valley. There you will find wide carving runs, steep slopes, numerous mogul slopes and two floodlit slopes for every skill level. There is also a children's area for the little ones at the valley station. Daily supervision with ski lessons is also offered there. Those looking for a special challenge should try the slopes with perfect freeride opportunities such as "Schattberg Nord" and "Zwölferkogel Nord".
One of the numerous alpine pastures offers a break. Whether for a snack, a cold beer or a traditional break - everyone is well catered for here. The "AsitzBräu" on the summit of the Asitz is popular, for example. Those who want something fancier should stop at the Stockinggut Restaurant.
This diversity is once again proof of why the Skicircus is not one of the most popular ski resorts in the Alps for nothing, and why it is always evolving despite this status. For example, a direct lift connection to the ski area in Zell am See is planned for 2023. You already have the option of taking the ZellamseeXpress from Glemmtal up to the Schmittenhöhe in Zell. This gondola is easily accessible by bus connection between Viehhofen and Vorderglemm.
Night skiing Saalfelden
Night skiing is very common in Austria. Thus, there are many pistes which are still open after the usual operating hours. In the Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Ski Circus ski area, the Schantei lift already offers the first opportunity for night skiing. The approx. 500 m long night ski run is illuminated several times a week for night skiing pleasure. Another floodlit piste for night skiing is located in Hinterglemm. The Unterschwarzach railway brings winter sports enthusiasts up to the access of the approx. 1.2 km long illuminated piste, which is also opened several times a week. The adjoining "Nightpark" also offers night owls the opportunity to try jumps at night.Après ski Saalfelden
