Hinterglemm for beginners

Beginners rating -

Hinterglemm is a haven for ski newbies. The nursery slopes are conveniently close to the village center and secluded from the main runs, offering a quiet and stress-free learning environment. Once you've built up some confidence, head over to the sunny south side of the valley, accessible via the Reiterkogel gondola, where you'll find a collection of easy blues perfect for practicing.

This resort is an intermediate skier's dream. With 270 km of trails ranging from wooded paths to wide-open summit slopes, you can truly maximize your time on the slopes. For a laid-back experience, the south-facing slopes are your go-to. Craving a challenge? Head to the Schattberg gondola and try out the descents on the opposite valley side or even venture onto the World Cup Downhill course at Zwölferkogel peak.

Hinterglemm doesn't disappoint advanced skiers either. The challenging slopes of the Skicircus await, especially the long black run under the Schattberg gondola. If that's not enough, the off-piste here is downright exhilarating.

If off-piste is your thing, Hinterglemm is a paradise. The motto 'Easy up - Wild down' encapsulates the experience. With 70 lifts offering access to a variety of unpisted routes that are well signposted, getting lost isn't a concern. A must-try is ski route F36, offering varied terrain without being too steep.

Family-friendly? Absolutely. Hinterglemm offers easy access to lifts and ski schools, with plenty of off-slope activities to keep the little ones engaged. Snowlyland at the top of the Unterschwarzach gondola offers a magical experience for young skiers, complete with a gnome mascot named Snowly.

Hinterglemm apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Apres-ski
Hinterglemm knows how to après-ski. It might be more low-key than Saalbach, but the energy is still sky-high. Goasstall is the epitome of après ski experiences, and for something more refined, the Cocktail Bar in the Alpine Palace Hotel offers a sophisticated setting and a wide array of cocktails.
