Things to do in Saalbach Hinterglemm

In the summer, Saalbach Hinterglemm transforms into Austria’s number one bike destination - test your endurance on the Big-5 challenge, which links Saalbach Hinterglemm with Leogang across five mountains, six gondolas and 5,000 metres of descent. With over 80 kilometres of the finest downhill biking trails, plus hundreds of kilometres of mountain bike and gravel bike routes of varying difficulty, it's safe to say bike enthusiasts will be happy here. If you don't fancy straying too far off-road, there are plenty of tarmac and gravel cycle trails, and the mountain roads are great for road cyclists. If you haven’t been cycling ‘off-road’ before, why not give gravel biking a go and head off the tarmac into beautiful alpine landscape, perhaps on the Glemmtal cycleway that connects Saalbach Hinterglemm to the town of Maishofen.

The children's bike park at the bottom of the Kohlmais lift is great for young bikers who can improve their skills on corners and small wooden obstacles. Saalbach Hinterglemm is a biker's paradise and the children's bike facilities here are among the best in Austria - it's a fantastic place to learn and get the biking bug.

Zell Am See Sigmund Thun Klamm walkway

The wooden walkway through the Sigmund-Thun Klamm is a spectacular journey through a deep rocky gorge and over impressive waterfalls. It's the other side of Zell am See so use public transport to get there. Hop on the bus from Saalbach Hinterglemm to Zell am See and then take the connecting service to the gorge. 

We also recommend a day trip to the high mountain reservoirs of Wasserfallboden and Mooserboden or the Krimml Waterfalls.

On the edge of the picturesque Lake Zell, is the bustling town of Zell am See, with pretty streets and lots of shops to explore. Watch a fountain show from Elisabeth Park, or take a boat cruise along the lake, rent a paddleboard or take the children to the lido on the edge of the water to play and swim. There's also plenty to do, and lots of beautiful walking trails, on the Schmittenhöhe mountain - the view from the top is worth the trip and the Franzl hut serves up delicious local food on the panoramic sun terrace.

Probably one of the most famous sights in the area, the Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps is a fun suspension bridge and treetop trail that appeals to all ages. Take your camera, but hold it tightly - the views are stunning as you make your way round the various platforms, with fun puzzles to keep children entertained along the way.

Saalbach Hinterglemm Jump And Slide Park

The world's first jump and slide park is paradise for teenagers who can jump from towers into soft airbags, throw some shapes on the trampolines or whizz down slides in sturdy rubber dinghies.

Saalbach Hinterglemm Highropes Course

Test your head for heights on Europe's largest high-ropes course - swing in the treetops and whizz along the zip lines. Or, keep things closer to the ground on the Motor Skills Path - 24 stations of challenges that are fun for all ages and test agility and balance. Walk along beams, test your control on a swinging ball maze or practise your throwing skills.

Unleash your inner child and take on the family for a game of mini-golf - there's a course in Saalbach, one in Hinterglemm, and on the Zwölferkogel mountain, which is a unique wooden themed mini-golf course played with wooden balls. Can you get your ball through all the challenges to be crowned winner of the family? Keep hold of your wooden ball - you can also use it for Kodok's ball tracks at the top of the Reiterkogel lift and follow your ball along the trail of wooden tracks as it weaves through the forest.

This spectacular journey takes you over the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, an incredible feat of engineering with stunning views. From the Franz-Josef's Höhe you'll see the Pasterze glacier and maybe catch a glimpse of 3,798-metre summit of the Grossglockner. Keep a look out for the wild marmots and Ibex too - they love the high alpine conditions. You can visit the free museums and exhibitions to learn about the National Park or enjoy a walk round the area and a tasty Austrian mountain meal.

There's a few options for you to choose from on this interesting trip to Berchtesgaden. Spend the day discovering the pretty Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden itself, or opt to go up to the Eagle's Nest (add-on payable locally).

The most famous is the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest). Explore the historic building and surrounding area, with spectacular views on a clear day over the King's Lake. The house is famous for being Nazi-constructed and was used for government and social meetings by Hitler and the Nazi Party (Eagle's Nest add-on is payable locally - approx. €31.90 per person).

If you decide to stay in Berchtesgaden rather than go to the Eagle's Nest, you could head underground to see the Salt Mines. A network of tunnels and slides take you on an underground adventure discovering this once very important industry (entry is approx. €25.50 per person).

Halstatt enchants visitors with a very special charm - it's like a journey back in time with many lovingly maintained and preserved listed buildings on the edge of the picturesque Hallstätter See lake. The town has a special cultural and historical significance, once important for salt mining thousands of years ago. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 and at the Halstatt World Heritage Museum you can learn about its 7,000-year history, from Neolithic settlement to present day.
