Saalbach-Hinterglemm: Frequently Asked Questions
Is it one village or two?
Saalbach-Hinterglemm is a single municipality that contains two village centres, Saalbach and Hinterglemm, spread along the Glemm valley at around 1,003 metres. Lifts leave from both, so neither is cut off from the ski area.
Can you ski back to the accommodation?
In many cases yes, because lifts and pistes reach the village centres of Saalbach-Hinterglemm on both sides of the valley. The resort markets ski-in ski-out access as a standard feature of the two centres.

Saalbach-Hinterglemm hosted the 48th FIS Alpine World Ski Championships from 4 to 16 February 2025, with 11 medal events and 175,000 spectators according to the organisers.
