Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn Is Not Only the Largest Contiguous Area but Also One of the Most Diverse Ski Areas in Austria

NEW Skicircus: great skiing on 270 km of downhill runs

The Skicircus starts this coming winter in a league of its own! With the merger with the neighboring ski resort Fieberbrunn, the number of ski run offerings in the popular winter sports destination has increased to 270 km of downhill runs in every kind of variant and level of difficulty. Thus, Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn is not only the largest contiguous area but also one of the most diverse ski areas in Austria. Ranging from gentle slopes and expansive carving runs over deep snowy freeride spots to the fast-paced World Cup downhill, you can find everything here that will make the hearts of winter sports enthusiasts beat faster. Snow trails, perfectly-shaped snow parks and natural freeride parks offer fun and action for young and old. For those who still have not had enough after a full day on the slopes, floodlit pistes, tubing, ice-cart, snowmobile and luge runs await, along with a network of many kilometers of perfectly groomed cross-country trails.

Perfect conditions Convenience, guaranteed snow and slope quality are very important at Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn. A team of 120 experienced employees daily ensure perfectly groomed slopes with a fleet of 60 snow groomers and, when needed, help out Mother Nature with a sophisticated snowmaking system consisting of more than 900 snow cannons and 12 storage ponds. 70 highly modern lift systems allow guests to proceed quickly and comfortably to the vast Skicircus – including the new 10-person TirolS gondola from Fieberbrunn on the Reiterkogel and the new Bernkogel 6-seater chairlift in Saalbach. With the Vierstadlalm run (3.5 km) in Fieberbrunn and the Steinberg run (4.7 km) in Leogang, two completely new downhill runs are available.

From the charm of alpine huts to a gourmet restaurant Fresh air and lots of exercise can make your stomach growl.
