In the heart of the Glemmtal valleys, this charming alpine-style village is composed of traditional Austrian architecture. Twinned with the adjoining village of Saalbach and the slightly more distant Leogang, Hinterglemm make up one part of the endless ‘Ski Circus’ area. In comparison to compact Saalbach, it’s smaller, more sophisticated and more widely dispersed, which makes it the more sombre of the two villages. Nonetheless, those looking for some noise won’t struggle to find it - the après on the high street gets very lively later on in the day.

In the town itself, you’ll find a fantastic array of restaurants and bars both on and off the slopes. Mostly hotels, all of the accommodation is only a few minutes’ walk from the town centre and some properties boast ski in-ski out locations.

The resort is surrounded by slopes suitable for all abilities, with 200km of professionally prepared tree-lined runs stretching across the mountains. Hinterglemm’s skiing history dates all the way back to 1898 and more recently the 1991 Alpine Skiing World Championships were held on the slopes above the village.

The increasing popularity of the resort has resulted in over £230 million being invested to replace trudging drag lifts with modern high speed chairs and gondolas. The Ski Circus lift pass will grant access to an expansive 200km ski area and includes the shuttle bus services between the villages to get you back to base wherever you finish your day. Making your way around is simple and there’s more than a holiday’s worth of planned and signposted routes to navigate.

Perhaps the defining feature of Hinterglemm and one of the resorts biggest attractions is its 1.6km of floodlit pistes and colossal Snowpark. These are illuminated Monday to Saturday until 9:30pm for moonlit fun on the snow and access is included in the ski pass.

We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed Hinterglemm, it was our first time skiing in Austria having previously skied in French resorts like Meribel, Courchevel, La Plagne… We enjoyed the easy access to the slopes and the overall network – it was easy to get to places and the lifts were a lot better than we... + more

There was hardly any snow at the beginning of the season and they actually gave us half of the lift pass price back as there were only a few runs open. I did a couple of reds but mainly stuck to the nursery slope while my son who’s a better skier was able to cover more and caught the bus into Saalbach one day ... + more

Hinterglemm is a really decent resort; the ski pass takes you all over Hinterglemm and Saalbach. It’s always quiet towards the end of the season and isn’t the most lively of resorts like St Anton or places like that, but we don’t go there for that kind of thing. There’s plenty of skiing and the village ... + more

I went on a university ski trip here and can confirm that Austrians know how to party! Definitely the best apres ski, in terms of nightlife, that I’ve ever experienced. London Bar was amazing, as was virus bar. The town was really cool with most of the action happening on one main strip. Skiing wise, quite low... + more
