Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Saalbach / Hinterglemm Recommendations?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi Guys,

Currently looking at booking a trip to the above first week in March, been looking through the tourist board website, looking at a few Hotels, done a few searches for reviews, but have came up short ( mainly in Dutch Shocked )

Accomodation i am looking at is:-

1). Hotel Sonnegg ( not youth hostel wink ) located in Vorderglemm

2). Glemmtalerhof Hotel located in Hinterglemm

3). Oberdanner located in Hinterglemm

4). Hotel Sonnalp located in Hinterglemm

5). Ferienhof Unterellmau located in Hinterglemm

If anyone has any views on the above, regarding food, location, quality etc then i would appreciate your comments,

Cheers in advance!

Vorderglemm is at the beginning of the valley and Hiterglemm is almost at the far end.

My gues is you may suffer starvation with the former and over-intoxicated in the latter, meaning little choice of restaurant in Voderglemm and full of bars and pubs in Hinterglemm.

Skiing wise Voderglemm is better situated because you can ski one of its branches to Leogang which may be too far to cover in one day from Hinterglemm. If you can loop round the famous Voderglemm/Saalbah/Hinterglemm Valley in a day you can do so at any point of the loop and so Hinterglemm is just as good as Voderglemm as the starting point. The shops, restaurants and night life are mainly in Saalbach (middle between Voderglemm and Hinterglemm) and Hinterglemm.

Hinterglemm is one of the most vibrant Apres place I have seen in the Alps.

Perhaps I didn't look hard enough I couldn't recall seeing anything in Voderglemm except it was the first chairlift station to be greeted when coming from outside the valley. I would not be surprised if the hotel is situated quite far from Vorderglemm and use its name because it is the one nearest to it. There are a few hotels at Viehhofen before one reaches Vorderglemm, which according to my piste map, dated about 3 years ago, shows nothingh there.

Glemmtalerhof, centre of village, very nice hotel, recommended as are Hotel Wolf and Sonnblick.

Any of these are perfect for the lifts, fun park and the Goat Bar, you won't go wrong.

What ever you do get in quick as that week is SIGB ski test week so not a lot of accomodation left. I'm there that week also but am staying in Zell but I'm driving to triping around is not a problem.

Does this mean it's going to be really busy around the the beginning on March?

I wouldn't have thought so as it's not national holidays. The SIGB ski test is where the UK retailers get to test the 09 skis (same gear I'm bringing to the EoSB) so they'll be booking up accomodation.
