Saalbach Apres Ski

Apres Ski in Saalbach

Saalbach and Hinterglemm are renowned party resorts where the après-ski starts early on the slopes, and their nightlife continues into the small hours. Leogang and Fieberbrunn are much quieter. All four villages also have plenty of activities besides eating, drinking and dancing for non-skiers, including sledging, winter walking, and ice-skating.

Apres Ski, Bars, Restaurants & Nightlife in Saalbach

Apres-Ski Bars

Saalbach and Hinterglemm have a lively apres-ski scene which starts on the slopes above the two villages where there are dozens of bars, including:

Der Goaßstall (Hinterglemm)

Hinterhag Alm (Saalbach)

Bauer’s Schi-Alm (Saalbach)

Wallegalm (Hinterglemm)

Apres-ski in Leogang and Fieberbrunn is relatively tame. You can have a relaxing drink in the mountain restaurants above the resorts as the lifts close, and perhaps another one at the foot of the slopes, and sometimes there will be music playing, but there is very little of the outright hedonism that Saalbach is famous for.

Restaurants and nightlife

There are over 50 restaurants in Saalbach and Hinterglemm, catering for almost every need and budget, from fine gourmet meals to pizzas and burgers. Afterwards there are dozens of bars in the two resorts, ranging from sports bars to British and Irish pubs to live music venues. There are also proper clubs for those who want to dance until dawn.

There are good restaurants in both Leogang and Fieberbrunn but not as much choice as in Saalbach and Hinterglemm. In Fieberbrunn, for a different kind of night out, you can arrange to have an evening meal in Alpengasthof Ferchlstadl on the slopes above the resort. Transport to and from the restaurant in a piste-basher is all part of the fun.

Other Activities in Saalbach 

Other Activities in Saalbach and Hinterglemm

Saalbach and Hinterglemm offer a variety of activities for non-skiers, including winter-walking, snowshoeing, sledging/tobogganing (during the day and at night), ice skating and curling and even rides in a horse-drawn sleigh. If you want to try a different type of skiing, there are also very good Nordic skiing circuits. For adrenalin-junkies, there’s paragliding, snowmobiling and an ice-karting track. And if the weather’s bad, there is a big indoor swimming pool too.

Or on some nights, you can just keep on skiing, because Sallabach-Hinterglemm has very good night skiing.

Other Activities in Leogang

Leogang is more popular in summer than in winter,  so there are plenty of outdoor activities besides alpine skiing, including cross-country skiing, winter hiking and ice skating.

Other activities in Fieberbrunn

Fieberbrunn has perhaps the best non-ski activity on the slopes for kids, and many would say for adults too: a ride on Timok’s Coaster. This is a roller-coaster located near the Streuboden lift mid-station. You control the speed, so if you want to hurtle around the bends, you can; but if you want to glide gently down the mountain, that’s possible too. And the best bit is that it’s free for anyone with a valid lift-pass.

Down in the village the most eye-catching after dark activity in Fieberbrunn is the weekly Ski Symphony: a mixture of skiing, music, acrobatics and fireworks, which is best enjoyed with a glass of Glühwein.
