Holiday Apartment in Saalbach
Summer Activities
Saalbach is a great centre for summer activities, whether you are looking for an active holiday or something more relaxing. Four cable cars run all summer long, taking you up to the magnificant views at the top of the mountains. Below are a few ideas - or pick up an information leaflet at the Tourist Office
Walking and Hiking
Easy walks along the valley from Saalbach to Hinterglemm and beyond. Or enjoy the sunshine Sun Promenade walk that rises gently out of the village towards Jausern, from where there is a bus back to Saalbach if you do not want to walk back along the riverside walk.
There are panorama walks at the top of the Kohlmais, Schattberg and Reiterkogel lifts - ride the cable cars up and enjoy the fantastic views and nature.
The beautiful butterfly at the top of the page is a Camberwell Beauty or Mourning Cloak - Nymphalis antiopa - a very rare sight in the UK, but if you are lucky you may see one in the meadows around Saalbach.
Mountain hikes are available in abundence. Find your own way along the many marked trails (remember to get a free map from the Tourist Office) or join one of the organised walks from the Tourist Office. Once a week there is even a 6-hour walk to Kitzbuhel.
Adventure Trails for Kids
Two facinating adventure / treasure hunt trails for children - on Kohlmais in Saalbach and Reiterkogel in Hinterglemm. Details at the cable car stations.
