Freeride Mecca
Knee-deep powder snow & great atmosphere - the freeride area in Saalbach Hinterglemm
Fresh powder snow + optimal descents + powdery deep snow = unforgettable feeling of freedom
The weightless gliding down in the glittering powder snow conjures a smile on every freerider's face. Dozens of downhill options on off-piste make the ski area a freerider mecca.
When the doors of the gondola lift open and the masses of skiers cavort in front of the mountain stations, the freeriders can go one more station. You get off a few hundred meters higher on the next summit.
Once at the top, there are no skiers, no muddled slopes, just endless slopes filled with the finest powder snow. Quickly check the avalanche piper, move the Bille into position, strap on the backpack and off you go, the pure pleasure begins.
The Wildseeloder offers one of the most exciting lines. Every year the crème de la crème of the freerider scene meets here for the Freeride World Tour. Unforgettable casual!

The anticipation and temptation to plunge down this mountain are particularly tempting. But it is precisely in such places that the greatest source of danger is hidden. For every freerider who wants to move in open terrain, functional equipment and knowledge of how it is used is a must!
