Hi, if you do a search on Saalbach (in the Austrian topic board) you'll find stuff in there. The skiing is good in Saalbach, I spent a season there and didn't get bored, no recommendations for accommodation though, have a look at the TOs websites and see what they've got.

I have a friend who goes every single year, and loves the place. They nightlife is fantastic and the ski area is wide. However, it is reasonably low and suffers with lack of snow coverage quite a lot, which is why I have not made a trip there yet.

Thats what I thought until I visited a clubhotel:

Lots of noisy groups so lack of sleep is an issue

School kids all over the place, particularly annoying when leaving/returning to the hotel from the slopes as they block up the entrances, fill the locker room and leave their stuff all over the place

Meals not great at all

A general feeling of being in a prison camp



Not trying to put you off, but having been to a Clubhotel, I wont be visiting one again.

had a look at the reviews and maybe they paint a better picture than the reality.
It has been chosen by my company so hopefully we will be filling it and there are no school kids around, besides i tend to be up and out early and back in late after a post ski drink and am intending to rent a ski locker to leave my kit on the piste.
thanks for the warning tho
