If it’s variety you’re after on your next school ski trip, then choose Saalbach-Hinterglemm – the second-largest linked ski area in Austria. The pretty, traditional village of Saalbach and its sister village of Hinterglemm are linked by a ski circus, with links to Leogang and Fieberbrunn giving you even more varied skiing. Saalbach itself is a very pretty, traditional Austrian mountain village with welcoming locals and a traffic-free main street. There are lots of options for après-ski activities here, including curling, alpine rollercoasters, tobogganing or even catching an ice hockey match.
