A Summer Holiday in Saalbach Hinterglemm promises an infinite variety of attractions and facilities for hikers, bikers and families.

With the new JOKER CARD Saalbach Hinterglemm now presents a real innovation in order to enjoy the full diversity of the region making access to amenities even easier and more reasonably priced. The JOKER CARD is included during a stay in one of the many selected partner companies and offers amongst others free access to the
cable cars and the most beautiful attractions of the region. Furthermore, guests will also benefit from numerous discounts.

Four cable cars allow both the young and elderly to get one step closer to heaven without additional costs due to the JOKER CARD and without using too much energy as they take you directly up to the starting point of many hiking and mountainbike tours.

Alpine Flora Hiking Trail - The Healing Herbal Trail is located at the altitude of 1.544m on the Reiterkogel Mountain and includes over 100 different types of herbs and local alpine flowers with an explanation of their medical and homeopathic effects.

A special highlight for families with children are the included services of the popular attractions like the Montelino's adventure trail on Kohlmais Mountain and Mount Kodok on the Reiterkogel.

To “cool down” after an exciting hike, the Pirates outdoor pool “Captain Hook” in Saalbach with three separate water slides or the „Devil´s Water“ water park at the valley end which can be easily reached with the colourful noddy train ensure pure water fun.

The theme park „Schnitza´s wood park“ – located next to the “Devil´s Water” - contains numerous wood games, obstacles of balance, tree-disc puzzles as well as snap-shot opportunities with oversized carved animals. In weekly carving-workshops children and adults can fabricate their own hiking sticks.

The Ropes Course with Europe´s longest zip-line and individual stations in the breathtaking surrounding of the valley end requires climbing, balancing, sliding and swinging at different heights over rope- and bridge constructions. Europe´s longest zip-line makes daring hikers fly eagle-like over the valley end.

Treetopwalk with the „Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps”
The treetop walk with the „Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps” is a 1 km long round path in the tree tops combined with a 200 m long rope bridge - a unique project in Europe. A massive larch wood construction with stairs, towers, bridges and platforms offers several spots with an excellent view attracting old and young, nature lovers as well as adventurers. Brandnew this Summer is the low ropes course in the area of the treetopwalk - in low heights kids can balance and climb over 18 different stations.

Bike & Freeride
Taking your breath away or taking it easy: A true biker´s paradise with perfectly signposted trails for all levels – from "pleasurable & comfortable" to "thrilling & challenging. Whether easy, short tours at high altitude with panorama treats, amateur champions´ Marathon Tour, XXL-Freeridetour “Big5Challenge”, demanding single trails or pulse-racing Downhills like the X-Line, adidas Freeride, the brandnew Milka Freeride or Blue Line – there is the perfect trail for all - Soulbikers, ambitious uphillers and daring downhillers.

Around 30 cosy mountain huts not only stand for picturesque resting places, they also host alpine festivals throughout the summer, where local folk music bands play their traditional music and the mountain hut landlords conjure up and serve tasty Pinzgauer specialties on their tables.
