Two new lifts in Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang!
The Ski Circus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang is big on snow guarantees and has two brand new lifts this winter 2011!
Over 200 snowy kilometres of pistes and 55 highly-modern cable cars and lifts guarantee comfort, space and diversity in the Ski Circus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang.
More investment in innovation: Bernkogel and Reitkogel-Ost lifts for even more comfort
Sustainable investment and well-considered innovations in pistes and guest comfort add to the great quality of this skiing area. The Ski Circus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang has invested over 234 million euro in the past years. Right at the start of this winter in the Ski Circus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang, two new lifts were taken into use.
In summer, the previous three-person chair lift Bernkogel was replaced with a highly-modern 8-seat gondola with heated seat and the double chair lift at the Reiterkogel-Ost with the high-quality 6-seat chairlift with heated seat and bubble hood
Fairytale Snowlady Frau Holle and her helpers provide all the snow you need: 90 per cent of the pistes in the Ski Circus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang are covered in real or artificial snow and practically snow-guaranteed thanks to our 470 snow-machines.
Skiing pistes as far as the eye can see: from gentle slopes to wide carving pistes right up to black championship runs, from top-shaped funparks, a wide variety of untouched slopes to the challenging roughrider mogul run. Regardless of whether a cool snowboarder, tiny ski flea, tricky freerider or sporty carver – at the Ski Circus there’s a perfect terrain for all types.
More fun & action!
NEW ski & surf: from this winter onwards you can ride the waves in the snow on our two wave runs at the Asitz Run and the Sport Run Asitzkogel 2000. There’s pure speed at the Speed Run in the Nightpark on the U-Bahn in Hinterglemm and two SkiMovie runs provide Hollywood glamour at the Ski Circus. You can get your adrenalin kick at the new Boarder and Skiercross at the Bernkogel Run. The brand new Flying Fox XXL in Leogang is one of the longest and fastest steel slides in the world and reaches 130 km/h travel speed for daring thrills. At sunset, the action has only just begun! Floodlight pistes with funpark and speed tubing, ice go-kart, snowmobile park, and sliding fun on floodlit tobogganing runs turn night into day for the tireless.
For nature lovers and the romantic, the Baumzipfelweg treetop path offers this winter endless views onto the treetop regions at the end of the valley of Saalbach Hinterglemm. The combination of the one kilometre-long round tour of the treetop path with its 200 m bridge 40 m high is a unique project worldwide.
More adrenalin: new “Learn to ride Park” and Boardercross
Whether free skier or snowboarder – beginner or pro, the professionally-shaped snow parks at the Ski Circus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang will get your freestyler heart racing, delighting skiers and audience alike. In a chilled atmosphere, you can work on your style in the parks: the NITRO Snowpark in Leogang and the enlarged Monster Energy Nightpark presented by Roxy at the Unterschwarzach in Hinterglemm (open daily up to 9.30 pm). NEW from this winter onwards is the “Learn to Ride-Park” for beginners and the skier and boardercross at the Bernkogel.
More feel-good moments for body and soul
From first-class wellness hotels, snow-shoe hikes through snow-clad woods right up to the romantic sleigh ride, we offer well-being for each individual. Relaxing sunbathing on the ski hut terraces with breath-taking views onto the surrounding 2000er peaks will bring you many wonderful moments. In the Ski Circus, 40 Ski huts provide culinary delights and regional delicacies in a wonderfully traditional ambience.
