140 kilometres of cleared winter hiking trails and various snowshoe hiking routes lead through the magical mountain world of the Glemmtal.

In addition to the perfect downhill runs, Saalbach is also known as a ski mountaineering and freeride area. Designated areas, especially in Fieberbrunn, provide off-piste fun at its best. Here too, the latest skiing equipment is available to rent and guides are happy to show you around the region. Together, you can experience the most beautiful places in the Glemmtal valley and POWDER deluxe!
Toboggan runs provide variety and fun. Partly floodlit in the evening, the popular runs wind their way down into the valley. Take the gondola lift on the Reiterkogel for the ascent before racing down around 3.5 kilometres. You can get to the starting point at the Spielberghaus either on foot or with the Pistenbully taxi, which picks up guests by appointment. Fun for the whole family!
A romantic ride through the valley end of Hinterglemm – a horse-drawn sleigh ride is a must for any winter holiday in the mountains! The pick-up point is at the free car park, about four kilometres from Hotel Schachner. Beautiful horses pull the noble sleighs and their passengers leisurely through the glittering winter landscape. Refreshments included!
There’s another highlight to discover at the valley end. The Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps and the Tree Top Path are a popular excursion destination at any time of year. The majestic bridge spans from one side of the valley to the other, delighting visitors as they walk up to 40 metres above the ground. The Tree Top Path leads through the beautiful spruce forest at lofty heights and offers fantastic views of the surrounding mountain scenery.
