Christmas Day in Saalbach - Hinterglemm

Hi All,

I just joined J2ski, I'm hoping you guys can help. We are traveling to Saalbach-Hinterglemm arriving on 24 Dec for 6 nights, I'm just wondering what is usually happening on Christmas day there?
Will restaurants, lifts and shops be open? Do you recommend any local restaurants to get a nice Christmas lunch/dinner?

Also looking for a 1 bedroom self contained apartment close to all the action, if you have any avaliable please PM me. Thanks

Thanks in advance.

Hi Racey, a warm welcome to the forum from me!

I think you will find everything open as usual on Christmas day. The slopes will be business as usual and I would imagine that Christmas lunch will actually be Christmas dinner at about 7 or 8'ish in the evening.

I suspect the decent restaurants will get booked early, so I'd try and find out where there is a good one and book before I go if I were you.

I've not been there myself so I can't advise you but I'm sure someone will come along soon who'll know lots.

:D

Hi Racey,

I have been there twice during Christmas, and in fact in Austria the big day is Christmas Eve. Your christmas dinner will be on Dec 24th , so make sure to arrive early.

Some shops will be closed Xmas day, but all the slopes etc are open.

Hope this helps!

Thanks 66dunaras!
