🙂 Snow. Skiing. New Tear. Meeting new friends. Apres Ski.
We stayed at the Hotel Sonnleiten but this has now been converted into housing. It was a lovely hotel with open fires, a swimming pool and good food and excellent massage. A stunning place to have celebrated New Year.
Hinterhag Alm – this is the TOP après-ski venue in Saalbach, located right by the slopes. It offers a great atmosphere and lots of fun through until evening. Over two floors, crowds of people sway in time to daily live music. The Herzerltanz (heart dance) has become a tradition. On 26 January 1976, Evi threw her little hearts for the first time and the tradition continues every evening in the Hinterhag Alm at 5 pm. The BEST!!
It was New Year and we decided to dress up – we spotted one other couple also in black tie – they were Swedish and it was the start of a long and lovely friendship!
What a. wonderful welcome to 2010!!!
Saalbach is a great ski resort. The Skicircus has endless runs at all levels of difficulty and lots of long, wide pistes. Floodlit slopes, a SkiMovie run, speed-measurement and racing runs, snow trails, funslopes, a freeride park and Skiline complete the offering. 90% of slopes have snow making facilities. Night skiing is also on offer. You have your choice of 60 mountain restaurants!
