18 July 2022
Absolutely amazing place and a fantastic hotel. We are a family of 5 with children between the ages of 4 and 11, and none of us had ever ridden mountain bikes before. While some of us were out trying out MTB, the rest of the family could swim in the pool, play on one of the many playgrounds, or engage in one of the other 100 activities that Saalbach offers.
A great experience, we will definitely come back!
