Ski the runs where world champions raced, then come back to a five-star spa at the foot of the slope.
Alpine Palace: Ski Like a World Champion
Saalbach-Hinterglemm calls itself the "Home of Lässig", which roughly means laid-back and effortlessly cool. In 2025 the resort hosted the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, and the Alpine Palace sits right in the middle of it all. From the suites and sun terrace you can look straight out at the championship course, and the slopes are on your doorstep.
The hotel connects directly to the Skicircus Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang-Fieberbrunn, one of the largest linked ski areas in the Alps. Clip in at the door and spend the day on the same pistes the world's best raced on.
After the slopes
The 2,000 m² spa has a wide choice of saunas, indoor and outdoor pools, treatments and a gym. Dinner can be a formal affair in the Arte Vinum restaurant, something rustic in the traditional Rauchkuchl smoke kitchen, or a sunny lunch on the terrace, with menus that move between Salzburg specialities and international dishes.
The hotel often runs off-peak packages with breakfast, afternoon snacks and dinner included, so check its website for this season's offers.
