The Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn is beloved in the skiing and snowboarding world as one of Austria’s top ski areas. Lengthy ski circuits, plenty of activities for families and a rousing après-ski scene place the Skicircus squarely on the alpine map. But all the skiing and other activities can get exhausting, and it’s important to take a break to refuel every now and again! With more than 70 mountain restaurants, the choice can be overwhelming. We’ve compiled a list of our favourite 7 mountain huts at the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn so you can embark on your very own culinary ski safari.
Located at the mountain station of the Schattberg X-press, the SkyRest was recommended to us by one of Saalbach's ski instructors. The window tables offer a fantastic view over the mountain landscapes and when the weather is nice, you can sit on the terrace outside. The restaurant serves delicious Tyrolean dishes for a reasonable price.

the chance to kickstart your après-ski here.
Born and raised in the ski paradise of Vancouver, Canada, I learned to ski before I can remember, balancing precariously on my parents’ skis as they sailed down the hill. I started snowboarding in my teens and am now delighted to be exploring everything Europe’s ski scene has to offer!
