Saalbach-Hinterglemm 2024 - Part 1

Skicircus Saalbach-Hinterglemm

Friday - January 19th 2024

Our first ski trip of the season started pretty early in the morning. First we had to prepare some snacks and then we had to drive for nearly two hours to Saalbach-Hinterglemm. Once we arrived at the Zwölferkogel Ropeway Station, we purchased our ski tickets and then it was finally time to hit the slopes. Unfortunately the weather forecast was really bad for today, but we wanted to make the best out of it. In the morning it was snowing a lot and it was really cold, but now and then the sun came out for a couple of minutes. Later in the morning my brother and his girlfriend joined us for the skiing weekend. The Skicircus Saalbach-Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn is one of Austria's largest ski areas and so we had plenty of slopes to chose from. For today we decided to ski in the Saalbach-Hinterglemm area, which was still big enough to spend the whole day. For lunch we stopped at the Berger Alm Restaurant and got dumpling soup and spinach with roasted potatoes and fried eggs. Since the weather didn't get better at all, we finished our skiing day early in the afternoon.

On the way to the parking lot we came across a nice outdoor bar and got some drinks to celebrate our vacation. Afterwards we drove to our hotel and checked in. We stayed at the beautiful Glemm by Avenida Hotel in Hinterglemm just a couple of minutes by car from the cable car station. During check in we got offered a glass of champagne, what a nice welcome. Then we unpacked our luggage in our room and headed to the spa area to relax. The hotel had a heated outdoor pool and it was so wonderful being in the warm water while it was below zero degrees Celcius outside. For dinner we met with my brother and his girlfriend again at Thomsn Restaurant in the village. We all ordered pizzas and drinks and had a lovely evening reminiscing about our skiing day.
