Leogang skiing
The main part of the Leogang ski area has 25 kilometers of slopes and there are 11 ski lifts. One of the lifts take you in the direction of Saalbach/Hinterglemm.
Leogang's local skiing is dominated by the Greater Astiz mountain. The journey to the top of this can now be completed in 10 minutes in an 8 seater new modern gondola, the base of which is located at a carpark five minutes drive from the village centre. Once at the top of the lift you have the choice of enjoying the huge sunny bowl above the trees that lies between Leogang's skiing and the start of the Saalbach Huinterglemm Circus, or taking one of the wonderful long runs back down through the trees on north facing slopes to Leogang itself. The Asitz slopes are the most snow sure within the area. Because Leogang is not so busy, you can enjoy the scenery and the trails in peace.
If you wish to go further afield it 's 16km from Leogang to the furthest point at Zwolferkogel in Hinterglemm. Much of the terrain will suit recreational holiday skiers best with nearly 90% of the trails graded easy or 'intermediate' - for those who have skied two or three years or more). These include a few small areas served by half a dozen lifts right next to the village which are ideal for beginners or anyone wishing to just make a few runs in the morning or afternoon.
Leogang is not really for the expert skier as most of the runs are for imtermediates. However, having said that, there is some superb off-piste gems to be found on the 15km of itinerary trails when touring over in Saalbach and Hinterglemm and on the decent to Leogang. Experts should try the black runs of Schattberg and Zwolferkogel or take a guide on the extensive off-piste powder fields.
In Leogang at Schantei lift, winter sports fans can go night skiing on the approx. 500 m illuminated piste several times a week. The Unterschwarzbahn lift in Hinterglemm also operates on the approx. 1.2 km floodlit piste for night skiing. Here, freestylers can enter the "Nightpark" for their tricks and jumps at night time.
Nitro Snowpark Leogang
The Nitro Snowpark is located between the Muldenbahn and the Asitzgipfelbahn chair lift and has everything you need to improve your skills in the park and just have a good time. From the Easy Park and the Kicker Line to the Pro Line, there is something for each rider level. Best of all, the various lines can be combined in an individual and creative manner. The GoPro bag jump enables stress-free training of new jumps and the Natural Freeride Park makes it possible to combine the pleasure of deep snow with the adrenaline rush of jumps and obstacles. If you are looking for a place to chill, the Adlerhorst features loungers and Wi-Fi.
If shredding during the day is not enough for you, the best thing to do in the evening is to go to the "Nightpark" at the Unterschwarzachbahn in Hinterglemm, where you can freestyle in the dark thanks to the finest lighting.
Leogang apres ski
Leogang can’t lay claim to the mad parties of Val Thorens or Chamonix. You can definitely have a good time but mountain clubs like Hendl Fischerei tend to be of a classier type.
But for those looking for wilder nightlife, Saalfelden and Saalbach are just a bus ride away.
Leogang village
Leogang ski resort has a small center with a plaza and shops, bars and restaurants.
Those wanting a more relaxed evening can take a horse-drawn sleigh ride and enjoy the surrounding area. Sturdy Noriker horses – one of the oldest mountain draft horses in Europe – pull you out of town along a route that twists between rocky crevasses lined with soaring pine trees, while a small river gushes next to you.
