Different Kinds of Winter Activities

Or: Winter fun? Sure, but make it atypical!

Look, we know how it is. People mainly like to come to our part of the world to go skiing, but while the hundreds of kilometres of pistes in the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn are undoubtedly impressive, our region has so much more to offer. That’s why we’ve picked out a few winter activities today that will guide you away from the slopes, while still promising maximum winter fun!

So, whether you’re only just planning your winter holiday (don’t forget, you can find the cosiest room with us!) or you’re already here and looking for exciting things to do, this blog post is for you!

Top 4 Different Kinds of Winter Activities in Saalbach Hinterglemm

Saalbach Hinterglemm has so much to offer that a simple skiing holiday would only scratch the snowy surface. If you want to go deeper or simply need a bit of variety, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for in the following activities.

  • Alpine Roller Coaster: Have you ever whizzed through wintry mountain landscapes on an alpine roller coaster? No? Then you should check out Timok’s Alpine Coaster and experience winter in a whole new way on this speedy two-seater. And the best thing: the fun is free with a valid ski pass! Just pay attention to the opening times, as Timok’s Alpine Coaster is only from 12:00 to 15:45.
  • On the Toboggan, get set, go: The tobogganing fun starts just around the corner from our hotel! The Reiterkogel cable car takes toboggan fans with a valid ski pass to the top free of charge, and the toboggans themselves can also be hired directly from the cable car. A special highlight: on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, you can ride under floodlights until late at night.
  • Horse-drawn Sleigh Ride: You’ve had enough of action, adrenaline, and adventure? No problem! For maximum relaxation in between, we recommend a relaxed horse-drawn sleigh ride through the Saalbach Hinterglemm valley. Snuggled up in warm blankets, you can experience the white surroundings in an entirely new way. Whether romantic with your sweetheart or as a family outing, this activity is sure to be one to remember.
  • Ice, Ice, Baby: Things are heating up on the ice because the ice rink at the Saalbach Hinterglemm sports centre is the ideal venue for … your first date; lots of fun with a group of friends; a family outing or an ambitious training session on your own. Regardless of the group, the motto always stays the same: just let it glide! And you can, of course, hire the right footwear on site.

Heli-skiing in Wolf-style
Imagine this: You’re being flown up a mountain by a helicopter, like a superhero ready to conquer the slopes. Sounds like a real James Bond moment, doesn’t it? We have something up our sleeves that might come very close to these fantasies: heliing AND skiing. How about a short sightseeing flight over the breathtaking mountain peaks in our Wolfs helicopter, and then a speedy lap on your skis? Not such a bad idea, is it? Simply register at reception or book your slot in our helicopter before your holiday and enjoy one of the most special winter activities in Saalbach Hinterglemm. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

The Wolf family is a truly atypical wolf pack. Heribert, the spirited lead wolf, driven by sheer unbridled energy, was born into the hotel business and has Alpine hospitality in his blood. Sonja, the smart and warm hostess, is a master of the balancing act between sensitive hostess and thoroughbred mum of two wolves, who are accompanied through the day just as carefully as the guests of the house.
