The largest ski resort in Austria has much more to offer for your winter holiday with the family. From cozy to adventurous, there is the right active offer for every taste.
How about a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride, for example? Glide through the fairytale snowy landscape of Saalbach Hinterglemm. Wrapped in warm blankets, enjoy the fresh air in the Alps, which quickly colors your cheeks rosy. The pleasant sound of the rattling horse hooves has an immensely relaxing effect. You always have an eye on the enchanting snow-covered mountain peaks of the Kitzbühel Alps. That’s exactly how snow princesses and ice princes must feel!
Or do you want an action-packed winter day? You can experience it on a trip to the “Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps”. If you float far above the rushing Saalach and take a look down, your breath will certainly hold. Because the bridge is located 42 meters above the ground.

Record suspicion at lofty heights
At the end of the valley in Saalbach Hinterglemm, a unique excursion destination is hidden away: Europe’s highest treetop hike awaits you on the Baumzipfelweg. On the way from the parking lot in Hinterlengau to the Baumzipfelweg you will discover the most magical sides of the winter alpine landscape. Either on foot, with the valley train or on a horse-drawn sleigh. So the anticipation increases immeasurably.
The Baumzipfelweg itself is about one kilometer long and leads over eleven towers and platforms at a height of up to 30 meters as well as over 33 bridges and a skywalk. Cohesion and team spirit are required when mastering the obstacles. When you step over the “Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps”, the adventure is perfect. This is because the 200-meter-long bridge hovers up to 42 meters above the rushing Saalach River. A real highlight in your family vacation!
The Baumzipfelweg is open all year round, in the winter months even until 22:00. At night, the hike on the illuminated path is even more exciting.
In addition to the tree-top trail, there is also a family-friendly motor skills park. There you can climb, balance and swing diligently on various rope and bridge constructions. The largest high ropes park in Austria, the Lindlingalm, a wood park and the “Devil’s Water” can also be found at the head of the valley in Saalbach Hinterglemm.
Tip: As a warm-up for young climbers, there’s a small climbing wall to discover at the Barbarahof Saalbach family hotel.
