Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Saalbach Hinterglemm

17 stays · 6 aparthotels and 11 serviced apartments

Saalbach Hinterglemm is a mountain resort in the Pinzgau region of Salzburg, and aparthotels and serviced apartments work well here because the valley is busy in two seasons. Winter groups and families on the Skicircus pistes want room for boots, a kitchen for breakfasts and a table for the whole party; summer visitors who hike or mountain bike want the same flexibility for a week of days out.
