This traditional alpine village is a part of the biggest linked and most popular ski circuit in Austria, offering gorgeous views, high speed ski lifts and brilliant facilities for all levels of skier and boarder. World cup runs, excellent childcare options and booming après ski keep snow lovers returning to Hinterglemm year after year.
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.
