Freestyle and freeride in Saalbach
SPACE, PEACE AND SNOW AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE!
Saalbach Hinterglemm, the Home of Lässig, is called this for a good reason – “lässig” can be translated as “laid back" or "cool”. Two worlds come together here to form something big and inspiring. Freestyle and freeride belong to Saalbach. 70 ultra-modern lifts open-up exciting and inspiring deep-snow slopes to all freeriding fans. Without major climbs, and thanks to the mountain lifts in the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn, it is very easy to venture into unsupervised freeride terrain. Glittering powder snow, perfect lines and breathtaking off-piste action, with Fieberbrunn as a free riders’ mecca, leave nothing to be desired for freeriding enthusiasts.
