The ski area from Hinterglemm
Hinterglemm sits in the middle of the Skicircus: lifts rise on both sides of the village, so you can ski the classic circuits of the area in either direction. In total, 440 kilometres of pistes and 93 lifts await between 1320 and 2005 metres.
The terrain is an intermediate's paradise, with endless wide red runs, while advanced skiers find demanding descents and the World Championship pistes. Beginners have practice terrain by the village, though the area rewards those who can already keep moving.
Snow reliability in Hinterglemm
The Skicircus lies between 1320 and 2005 metres, so mid-altitude; recent winters recorded maximums of around 139 centimetres and the first 2 centimetres fell last week.
The Glemm valley benefits from its position as a precipitation trap and from north-facing slopes on the south side of the valley, which hold snow well. December and late March remain less predictable; large-scale snowmaking keeps the main circuits open then. In January and February the area is usually fully wintry.
The village itself
Hinterglemm is compact and entirely geared to winter sports: hotels, sports shops, restaurants and bars line the village street, with lifts within walking distance of almost every accommodation.
The après-ski is serious and starts up on the mountain; together with Saalbach, the valley ranks among the Alps' best-known party destinations. Even so, Hinterglemm is slightly sportier and more family-minded than Saalbach, with many wellness hotels and a quieter back end of the village. Party every night if you want; skip it entirely if you don't.
Who is Hinterglemm for
Hinterglemm suits sporty skiers and groups who want to combine maximum piste kilometres with evening entertainment: its position in the middle of the Skicircus is ideal for that. Intermediates and advanced skiers are fully served.
Families find child-friendly hotels and practice terrain, accepting the lively village street as part of the deal. With stays from 960 euros per person, the village is not cheap; budget watchers look at Fieberbrunn or book outside school holidays.
