Why ski Saalbach-Hinterglemm?

The Skicircus Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang-Fieberbrunn is one of Austria's great practical successes — a genuinely circular lift system where you can ski from village to village and back without retracing a single run. 270km of pistes cover a huge range of abilities, the villages are connected and lively, and the southern Austrian sunshine rate is excellent. It lacks the altitude of some rivals but compensates with volume and variety.
