Inghams walking group holiday to Hinterglemm

Take time to unpack, unwind and settle into your new surroundings.

Start the day with the Inghams Welcome Walkabout, where you’ll meet your Destination Experts and discover what there is to see and do in and around Saalbach-Hinterglemm. You’ll also receive your Joker Card, provided by the hotel at check-in - this gives you free access to the lifts and public transport.

Then, there’s some free time to explore the villages of Saalbach and Hinterglemm. You can easily stroll between them along the path that follows the Saalbach River, or hop on the walker’s bus, which is free with your Joker Card. Alternatively, make the most of your hotel’s spa and wellness facilities, with a relaxing sauna area featuring a Swiss stone pine sauna, infusion sauna, steam room, infrared loungers, multi-sensory shower, waterbeds and relaxation area.

After dinner, put your general knowledge to the test at the Inghams Quiz Night! Team up with fellow guests, battle it out over a few rounds and get to know some new faces along the way.
