 Poster: A snowHead

We are thinking of going to Hinterglemm , we were in Saalbach and it is lovely BUT as regards the ski school I did n't like the set up ,meeting place down by the lifts and a walk up with skis and boots to the skiing area ... I would prefer not to have a trek like that so would anyone have information about Hinterglemm ski school proximity to lift /skiing area . I know the night ski run and I was just wondering is this where the ski school meeting area is .

alicia, Which ski school did you use? - there are 5 in Saalbach. From your description, I'm guessing Snowacademy or Furstauer. If you book with Zink or Easyski, they meet their guests by the Turm lift rather than by the beginners areas lower down - but the beginners areas are still only a 5-minute walk from any of the main lifts in Saalbach.
Hinterglemm ski schools meet near the bottom of the U-bahn lift (where the night skiing is), near to the Zwolferkogel lift car park (behind the hotels facing the car park) or occasionally at the Reiterkogel lift on the other side of the village, so still the possibility of a 5-minute walk from the meeting place to a main lift.

Snow & Fun's classes meet around the U-bahn lift - but that is still a short walk from their rental shop, where I assume you would want to leave your skis overnight. Best idea would be to give them a call for exact details.
Whether in Saalbach or Hinterglemm, if you are having group lessons, you will always be tied to meeting at the ski school meeting place, as guests and instructors are swapped around to create suitable groups each day in terms of size and ability; if you choose private lessons, then you can usually decide where to meet your instructor. For example, in Saalbach you could rent skis from the Intersport shop opposite Bauers, then walk up the steps to the lift and meet your private instructor there.

alicia, for private lessons you should be able to specify where you will meet the instructor - there's no point in walking 200 metres across town to meet someone if your accommodation is right next to a lift.
I'd recommend Activ in Hinterglemm, though our experience has been for our kids rather than private lessons. They have a hire shop 20 metres from the Zwolferkogel lift, though the icy humpback bridge between them would maybe be a worry as it even gives me a fright every so often, so 70 year old hips could probably do without a fall onto a hard icy surface.
