With the opportunity to do the circuit in a day, this really is one of the best ski areas in Austria, if not Europe!
We have come to expect only the finest tuition from the superb ski schools, having been partners with Club Europe for over 20 years. First time skiers will begin their week on the nursery slopes just above the villages, and by mid-week will be experiencing the mountains as they see their progression to gentle slopes higher up. It is our aim to have every skier conquer a peak by the end of the week, and in terms of progression and variety you cannot beat Saalbach-Hinterglemm!
In addition to the many great in-house facilities on offer in the valley our groups will also have the usual evening excursion possibilities both locally and in the neighbouring town of Zell am See which is about 30 minutes by coach. These are very heavily booked in the peak weeks so we suggest you try to pre-select your preference in advance to avoid disappointment. Some favourites are:

Capacity 100 CE Rating**
The Glemmtal has always been a Club Europe favourite. It is very well run by the Riedlsperger family and situated right on the slopes in Hinterglemm, only 100m from the village centre. The house is perfectly positioned for skiing and for your evening activities. Doorstep skiing, great value for money and the possibility to return to the hotel for lunch are all plus points of the Glemmtal.
