The Community Saalbach-Hinterglemm.

A generously renovated swimming pool, as well as a tennis court in Saalbach and Hinterglemm enrich the infrastructure.

The highly qualitative gastronomy – ranging from 4-star hotels to private accommodation – can offer everything you wish for. Restaurants, bars and other places round off the offer.

Because of the bypassing tunnel in Saalbach and Hinterglemm, a pedestrian zone was established for the village of Saalbach in 1991. The recreational standard in town was improved. Sport, Recreation, Entertainment and Leisure Time are spelled with capitals here.

The municipal coat of arms

From the Confirmation Document of Salzburg’s  Provincial Government ( 1st October 1975):

In a red shield two rising crossed golden skis, accompanied on top by a silver snow crystal and underneath by three silver balls (one on top of the other two), the whole shield covered by a silver waved crossbar. The symbols of the coat of arms point to the history of Saalbach.

The silver waved crossbar represents the river Saalach and the silver balls point to St. Nicolas, who was documented along with St. Bartholomew in 1410. The snow crystal and the crossed skis characterise Saalabach as the starting point of winter tourism in Land Salzburg. The farmhand, Josef Wallner, brought skiing to his home town in 1898, where the new sport quickly became a favourite.
