Description
Available in:
The Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn is a winter sports area in the Austrian federal state of Salzburg. It extends on both sides of the valley over the mountains of the Glemmtal and has a link to Leogang and to Fieberbrunn, in Tyrol. Because the area is laid out around the valley and the municipality of Saalbach-Hinterglemm the name "Skicircus" was chosen. A ski circus is a winter sports area that is laid out around a valley, normally enabling circuits of the whole complex.
There are currently 70 lifts in the skicircus, including 18 gondola lifts, 19 chairlifts and 18 drag lifts or practice lifts. The combined carrying capacity in winter is 97,521 people per hour. There are 270 kilometres of prepared piste, of which 140 km is rated as easy, 110 as medium and 20 as difficult.
All the main downhill runs and many secondary runs are equipped with artificial snow-making equipment. They make use of eight water storage basins, 353 snow cannon and 108 snow guns.
Between 22 January and 3 February 1991, the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships took place in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. It has also been the venue for the British University Snowsports Championships (BUSC) and the British Royal Air Force Championships on several occasions.
