As if the magnificent skiing weren’t a good enough reason to head for Saalbach’s slopes this winter, there are plenty of major events to enjoy. Here are just a few of them.
Snow Mobile
For a thrilling spectacle of speed over the snow, the Snow Mobile Grand Prix at Saalbach is a must-see event. Two dozen teams race for the championship title over an 850 metre track in front of a capacity crowd of 20,000, and there are concerts and outdoor parties when the races aren’t on.
Rave on Snow
You can enjoy the excitement of the most sophisticated city nightclub out on Saalbach’s ski slopes. Rave on Snow is the biggest outdoor winter music festival anywhere, with seventy DJs playing electronica, house and rave music from some of the best music producers in the world. The party carries on all night.
Torch Run
There may be no Winter Olympics this year, but you can still welcome the New Year in classical style. The Torch Run is an iconic part of the Saalbach winter, and you can join the crowds just before midnight to watch the torch go past. A firework display welcomes the New Year as the run finishes.
Ski World Cup
In February, the Ski World Cup comes to Saalbach. You can watch the world’s top skiers tackle the downhill and SuperG events, aiming to rack up points for the ultimate accolade of World Cup Champion. For the 21st and 22nd February, the eyes of the entire winter sports world will be on Saalbach.
AMS Ski Championship
Skiing, snowboarding and cross-country all feature in the AMS Ski Championship in Saalbach for four days during the last week of March. The top professionals in each discipline will be competing for substantial prizes, and there’ll be spectacular opening ceremonies to enjoy, as well as live music. This is a great way to wrap up a season that’s packed with quality, even by Saalbach’s high standards.
