Skicircus Circuits

The key figures of the Skicircus circuit are impressive: The lifts make it possible to experience the slopes of the Skicircus locations Saalbach, Hinterglemm, Leogang and Fieberbrunn and traverses 65 km and 12,400 metres in altitude. If you include short breaks, we are talking about a whole day tour which is probably the longest of its kind in the Alps.
 

But also the other four routes promise a lot of pure fun: You need around 2 hours to cover 19 km of the Saalbach circuit, where you will make tracks across the famous slalom and giant slalom track of the alpine Ski World Cup in Kohlmais of 1991. The Hinterglemm circuit covers 30 km and can take about 3.5 hours. Boundless skiing pleasure and breathtaking panorama during the Leogang circuit is guaranteed. This tour covers a length of 26 km and the whole route takes about 2.5 hours. During the Tyrol circuit, you cross the federal state border between Salzburg and Tyrol while skiing and can really let rip on a total of 22 km. You will need about 2.5 hours to complete the tour.
