THE PARADISE IS, WHERE EVE IS. Mark Twain 1835 - 1910

FORWARD VOWS DO NOT FIT IN PARADISE.

SNOW FLAKES, HOORAY! WINTER. THE WHITE SEASON OF ALPINE CONTRASTS. HERE, TOTALLY PRISTINE NATURE. Snow-white. Purity. Sporadic tracks of wild animals, nothing more. There, high-tech lifts, the modern comfort zone for ultimate winter pleasures. "Paradise," thinks the first visitor. And in this case the second one too. After all, the eva,PARADISE has something for everyone, whether at eva,VILLAGE, eva,GARDEN, eva,ALM or eva,BEAUTY.

of powdery snow, enchanted moments in a snowy winter landscape, the scent of cinnamon, hot toddies, crisp mountain air, new friendships and a sparkling mountain panorama, complete with white peaks. In the second edition of KOMMA Magazine we introduce our paradise friends and fans to fascinating people, their favorite places and stories.

But first a brief look backwards to summer. One thing that did not climb was the mercury in the thermometer. Highly variable, says the village sages. But hope remains for a lovelier, less unsettled autumn.

AND OF COURSE THOUGHTS HOVER JOYFULLY THROUGH WINTERLY PARADISE.

With spectacular, colorful mountain scenery.

Harvest festivals, the golden glow at sunrise and sundown, hiking, cattle drives down from mountain pastures and biking are precursors to the coming winter.

We invite you to join us as we let our imaginations run wild through the powdery snow of our fantasies.

Winter is just around the corner.

That’s for sure. Mother Hulda has already booked.

We are already happily anticipating the surprises awaiting us in the wintry paradise of Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang. We dream

Thank God. Greetings from paradise, Unterkofler family and the eva,TEAM. Saalbach, 1.008 meters

THE LOTTO SIX. THE GIFT OF LIFE IS BEING HOST IN THIS WONDERFUL PLACE. People come here to enjoy life, nature, activity, their favorite sports, convivial gatherings, earthly pleasures or simply peace and quiet. In short – they spend their holiday with us in Saalbach. Honestly, being host in this case is like winning the lottery. We seldom forget this honor – and then only for a brief moment.

OUR SECRET HAUNTS.

I LOVE FRESHLY SNOWBOUND LANDSCAPES. Accompanied by a pair of touring skis. A mountain, a climb, a summit cross. The athletic challenge in the midst of untroubled nature and the summit as the goal. In this condition my creativity reaches the perfect operating temperature. Ideas are noted hastily as soon as the peak is reached. To be sure nothing is lost during the rapid descent through powdery snow.

With the alpine panorama spread before me, I float weightlessly downhill. Well – almost.

MY FAVORITE PLACE. Nearly at the end of Glemm valley. At the Hochalm area with view to the unspoiled nature I love making the easy climb to the Spieleckkogel. There i find a completely calm, romantic refuge, the perfect escape from the daily grind. Nature fills me with energy and my heart beats a little faster.

Daniela Unterkofler

MORNING CARVING IS MY PASSION. Ah, an uninterrupted carved turn down the valley. Feeling the full impact of centrifugal force induces euphoria. No, I am not a speed freak. Safety is the first commandment. That’s why I always wear a back protector while skiing. Just in case. After all, skiers don't just stand on a slope :-)

MY FAVORITE PLACE. Over the years I have developed a particular affection for the Bernkogel. On this mountain I always enjoy a deep sense of feeling at home. I am especially smitten by a simple bench.

From this spot you can enjoy the unmatched view across the beautiful mountain range towering over our valley. Here I recharge my batteries. Right in front of the Rosswaldhütte.

Hans Unterkofler

THE SEARCH FOR BALANCE & STRENGTH FROM NATURE. Staying true to my nature, I'm always in search of resting places and sites of spiritual energy.

Nature's beauty and aura bestow the moments of pure pleasure in my life. When sunrays dance across the landscape, it really feels like paradise. Just stop, observe, perceive. And keep these wonderful images in mind.

MY FAVORITE PLACE. A real sun-worshipper, I have a sentimental favorite in Kohlmais on the sunny side of the valley. It's an unforgettable sight when the snow crystals twinkle in sunlight. Then there are lots of cozy huts where you can take a break and catch your breath. An apple strudel is always a good choice. My favorite huts at Kohlmais are Maisalm and Panorama Alm. Eva Unterkofler

A VILLAGE FRAUGHT WITH PIONEERS. THE LONG WAY TO THE TOP. ARDOUS, BUT WORTH THE EFFORT. Even at that time. New plans, new lifts. An aerial tramway was the aim. Unique all around. With enough space for 40 people. A courageous undertaking when you consider the mountain. The Schattberg. Unapproachable, towering. No roads, only winding paths that led to the summit. On the north side.

Even more so when the path is steep, too. On Schattberg, the Saalbach mountain, all trails are steep. Especially on the northern flank. But for those who live in the side valley almost forgotten by the outside world, no trail is too steep. That might be the reason why Saalbach people are always one step ahead. Pioneers.

In February 1946 the first drag-lift pulled skiers uphill.

A sensation at the time. At Kohlmais on the south side. Warming rays of sun. Pleasant.

But in the end the sun regularly triumphed over the white splendor. Too early in the eyes of the skiing folks who increasingly swarmed into the valley. Their object was the long shadows of the local mountain.

Despite the threatening aura of the terrain.

However, the prospect of virgin powder in March was just too tempting.

But pioneers cannot be deterred by such inhospitable climes. On the contrary. They attract them. In contemplation of sweat and tears they coped with the inhumane challenge.

With the help of a tiny goods lift, everything was hoisted onto the mountain. The lift ran all night for weeks. With buckets full of gravel and cement. For the construction of two lift towers and the summit station. No time for this during the day, when iron parts were transported.

First there was a simple chairlift that reached a small area of the steep north side of Schattberg. But soon that was not enough for the visionary Saalbach entrepreneurs. The word was "unlimited".

Two beams. Some 2.800 meters of rope to span more than 1.000 meters. Another milestone. Again in Saalbach. But the lift was too weak for heavy equipment, gear shafts and motors. Manpower was required. In the end the electric drive was towed uphill on a sled.

A quick and dirty solution, so to say. Every time a vehicle got stuck in the mud, steel rods helped to free the precious freight. A tough job.

UNBELIEVABLE. FIRST GONDOLA FOR 40 PEOPLE.

6

dorfschönheiten & bergverlangen ! dorfgeschichten wissenwertes/ interessantes

The high voltage cable, the lifeblood of the new lift, was installed entirely by hand. A narrow cable trench was excavated with raw muscle power only.

All the way up to the summit station. Today? Inconceivable!

The good old Schattberg lift. It remained in service until 2002, when it had to give way to progress. The modern version is called "Schattberg X-press".

SCHATTBERG X-PRESS WITH 1.560 HORSEPOWER. The 92 gondolas with fleecy soft seats. Four engines, overall performance of a whopping 1.560 horsepower.

They speed the comfortable gondolas at six meters per second. More than 20 km/hr after all.

Every hour 2.300 skiers conquer the summit. Effortlessly.

THE RUSH TO THE SCHATTBERG WAS COLOSSAL. The premiere took place in 1960, four days before Christmas. The gondolas majestically floated up and down the valley. But the rush was too big. Everybody wanted to ascend with the new attraction. Another pioneering adventure was required. Alteration, expansion.

The construction. Unique. What else? In the valley of pioneers. The summit station is located almost entirely underground. Only the exit – a futuristically styled opening spanned by a membrane – stretching southwards. In the middle is a railway station with hidden overnight accommodation for 92 gondolas. The eye-catcher in the valley is the new bridge.

Two gondolas with a capacity of 100 people each, the equivalent of two fully occupied buses. The largest aerial tramway in Europe. On the strongest single suspension cable the world had ever seen.

A width of 63 millimeters and a tightly sealed outer skin, like an oversized iron rod, 24 kilograms per meter. Opening 1973. Saalbach was in the lead.

Once again.

Covered by an elliptical roof, it connects the northern slope with the village. Saalbach and its local mountain have moved a bit closer again. Good for us skiers.

Pioneers. Unlimited. In the Skicircus.

Life can be sinfully beautiful.

TIME AND AGAIN. JUST MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME. In the heart of the village, where life offers endless appointments. It's right there. No, not since yesterday, but saturated with history and stories. Different somehow. Rather colorful, friendly and welcoming.

Can paradise really be a place on earth?

Comfort, a sense of well-being. Sometimes daring.

Always colorful. But stylish. Somehow you leave your house and still come home.

This year we have made some renovations, improvements and updates. With natural materials and sustainability in mind. The setting among mountains, meadows and forests prescribes best practices.

Wooden objects and loden fabric create a homey atmosphere. There's something to be said for overlooking the thriving forests from a cozy wooden interior.

Awesome. The great variety of fabrics and materials adds color to the scene. Casual, comfortable, harmonious, chic.

YOUR GLANCE SWEEPS OVER A FEW STEPS TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE. THE DOORMAN. THE PERSONIFICATION OF A WARM WELCOME. EXACTLY. SIMPLY DISTINCTIVE.

WALKING DISTANCE.

Arriving feels like coming home. Modern, traditional, cosy. Feeling at ease!

The eva,VILLAGE is located next to the skilifts. Short distances, long days.

THE KOMMA AFTER EVERYDAY LIFE. FRESH AND EARLY.

SKY SPA.

Homemade food, local produce, healthful and crusty country bread awaken body, mind and soul at the breakfast buffet. A morning oasis of energy to start the day.

A heavenly penthouse. The new SKY SPA is open!

Directly below the sky. A place that provides a view straight into the universe. Amazing. A genuine wellness oasis, especially for couples or exclusively for yourself. With panoramic views of Saalbach. And outer space. Yeah! Sometimes the sky overflows with stars.

EVER DREAMT PARADISIACAL? To sleep, perchance to dream. Well, who does not want to dream under plush comforters on temperature-regulating mattresses? Guests can choose between two degrees of mattress firmness and from a wide range of pillows.

DESIGN AND THE LIVING IS EASY. Holidays & Beauty. Design has its roots in nature.

Everything has its place. And function. Our room concept follows these creative principles. And, as in nature, everybody finds his place here. The rooms are inspired with attention to detail, alpine perspectives and functional common sense. Simple wellbeing and pure relaxation.

Simply slide into never-never land after a wonderful day full of winter experience crowned by some culinary delights. And embrace the next day, refreshed and alert.

Good night.

WEDELN IN WINTER. Housekeeper Lena is responsible for clean design. Carving ski produce dusty clouds of snow. Here they wedel, boys and girls.

Full of relish over freshly snow-covered slopes. Meanwhile I do my own style of wedeln. Floor after floor.

Room after room. One object after the other.

Only then can you appreciate its beauty. A quick glance at the Schattberg – it’s dusting again today. Wonderful snow conditions. But that’s business as usual for Saalbach.

Because we are the best at our snowmaking. And off we go. Hop into the lift to wield the dusting cloth around the furnished landscape of Room 112.

Our rooms and suites are beautiful. Very stylish – in my humble opinion. There is no space for dust and dirt. Design has to shine.

Wedel like crazy. Paradisiacal...

12

The Doorman wil be there.

The doorman stands in front of the door.

An amiable person who welcomes guests with umbrella, top hat & charm. A welcome manager, so the tourism industry says. Or is it all about esteem, a healping hand and a personal greeting?

Americans see it as a simple service, the Italians as a kind of courtship. Eva, the head of the house, has her own idea. She believes in the power of personal commitment and empathy.

One-to-one. Eye-to-eye. It's about attention and open-mindedness. "Today hotels are comparable in many ways and may be interchangeable.

The people who work in them are not. They make the difference, they createa climate of well-being."

Eva, the boss, smiles. Full of conviction that smiling is the key to good health. And beauty. He who laughs opens his heart.

"A smile from someone is a personal gift, which I gladly accept. And always return."

We can promise nothing -- except a bright smile every now and then.

EVA,EVENTS AT A GLANCE.

TORCH RUN with Hans Unterkofler 25/12/2014 NEW YEAR'S EVE 31 /12/2014 EDELWHITE Surprise Event 23 /01/2015 CARNIVAL "PUT YOUR HAT ON" 17/02/2015

THIS COACH IS VITAL.

EVA,SKI & WINE 19/03/2015 – 22/03/2015

We have the courage and the will to change things we want to change. We have the patience to accept things we cannot change. We have the wisdom to know the difference.

Those who call themselves life coaches know what they are doing. They know about life and how it goes. Our life coach Gunter knows that there's more to life than full speed ahead. You've got to find the rhythm, your own pace. Stress and relief. Actio and reactio, as the Latin scholar says.

CARNIVAL "PUT YOUR HAT ON"

That's why Gunter likes to offer a yoga session after an action-packed day on the slopes. What a contrast!

Find your center again after the adrenaline rush. This exercise is easier in paradise than anywhere else.

Is a vacation possible without balance?

17/02/2015

On Shrove Tuesday the motto is "Put your hat on."

Again. So hats on. And hats off to everyday life. And give free rein to the joy of life.

Without union of body and mind?

Our conviction: No! Gunter finds the balance every morning. Before breakfast. For himself. This enables him to share with others. The way. To the inner self.

Healthy activity balanced by periods of rest. Take your time. Enjoy nature. Contemplate the landscape.

In the Skicircus.

u o y h t i w t a h y n n u f a Take

Favorite place: Gunter seeks tranquility on top of the mountain. During a ski tour. Ascending without outside help. Far away from the lift and the next alpine meadow. Off the beaten track down to the valley again. A beautiful favorite place.

Alternative: ret a hat at our front desk

Wooden spoon party.

READY, STEADY, GO.

Hooray! We're having a kitchen party. Would-be cooks come from all over the world to whip up a little something with Robert, our head chef. The male guests try all kinds of tricks to coax some culinary secrets out of him. The Hungarian-born chef (Debrecen, Eastern Hungary) has been traveling the world for 13 years. A kind of culinary expedition. He earned his stripes by working for many top chefs and has since developed his own style of cooking. With the original Pinzgau cuisine, he came to the boil, one can say.

"Our kitchen parties are like a funky bee dance. Participants are utterly enthusiastic, curious, alert. 'How does it work?' 'Which tool do you recommend?' 'What's your favorite spice?' 'What's in this drawer?' – which means you have to pay close attention," says Robert as he describes the world of cooking parties. Queries, tastings, trial and error. All accompanied by a glass of good wine. Garnished with a variety of delicacies. Dear Epicure, does it get any better than this!?

"Epicure, anything more to dream of."

CHILDREN’S EYES

S R U O L O C E R CAPTU AND DO NOT LIE. Children's eyes take in everything, recording like a camera. They take pictures and save them. Some pictures last a lifetime. They pose questions. For there are lots of things kids don’t know yet. Curiosity of the unknown is immense.

Children's eyes are always in search of something. Their questioning looks demand answers. In eva,PARADISE, there is a lot to discover. In winter and summer. Nature is a great adventure.

Not just for kids. It constantly surprises us with something new.

In the eyes of a child the world is still filled with wonders.

Icmoimtamteionndedis fsotrronagdluylts. re 19

Sinfully beautiful perspectives.

APRÉS, HIDEAWAY, MOMENTS. Over the rooftops of Saalbach, and yet so close to the action, you can experience them. The very special, unforgettable moments. Enjoy the vastness of the mountains, the peerless beauty of nature.

Best at the moment when the contrasting light of dusk fades away on a purely white background. Time to prepare for a night in Saalbach.

Wellness, enjoyment, après ski or après sleep. Your choice. We respect nature, the mountains and the individuality of our fellow man.

"WHITNESS" AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE.

A special treat: take a snow bath in the garden after a session in the cozy sauna - a recommendation of the boss himself.

With a mug of a full-bodied hot drink in hand, one can experience a sublime wink of eternity. Life can be so simple and rich at the same time. In the evenings, especially when the weather is good, winter romance presents itself in its purest shape. Subtle.

Magical. Unspoiled. The view above the valley, above the roofs of Saalbach.

BACK WHEN THE BOSS WAS A SPEED FREAK. EXACTLY. THE RUN WAS NOT OVER UNTIL HE REACHED THE LOCKERS.

The past is always shrouded in legends. In the old days the "wild dogs" were around. Reportedly. Whatever. A tale out of school is always entertaining. In younger years the boss, who answers to the name "Hans", was one of those for whom the finish line had to be right at the front door. Taking off his skis and carrying them was simply not an option.

THAT WOULD BE LIKE PARKING YOUR CAR A BLOCK AWAY INSTEAD OF IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE. Locals know that you get to eva,GARDEN via the Ederslope at Kohlmais, which directly leads to the doorsteps. Very convenient in the eyes of guests. For the young Hans, the end of the trail was definitely too far from the ski lockers. Downhill he came, holding a steady course toward the doorway. If he hunkered down to make it through is not part of the story. Undamped, he sped down the basement stairs into the ski depot.

THE SNOWBALL CHALLENGE.

SLOPE GLAMOUR IN THE SKICIRCUS.

NIGHTTIME. THE SUN HAS LEFT THE VALLEY.

DAYBREAK. THE AIR IS CLEAR, THE SUN STILL WEAK.

But the light does not fade. The eva,PARADISE is open 24 hours. I am wrapped in the comforting coziness of my bed. While outside the window lights start dancing in a peculiar way. Just up there on the mountain. I see the headlights of the snowcats commencing their gentle dance. Every night in all sorts of weather. Under a full moon or in a snow storm. Daring men in their high-tech jalopies. Navigating alone through the darkness, sitting atop 600 horsepower. A radio message every now and then.

Surface pressure, gradient, roller rotation. A quick look at the screen, everything under control.

It's never easy to leave paradise. Even when it's voluntary. I will be rewarded handsomely for this deed. So sorry, Adam and Eve! First on the mountain. Undisturbed, I let my eyes wander across the magnificent alpine scenery.

The snow crunches under my ski boots. On a carpet of precisely drawn grooves that the snow cats have spread out for me. A beautiful picture in the sparkling winter sun. The first turns, a dream.

Unique. Unbeatable. More floating than skiing.

Effortlessly.

Just enjoy!

So the next morning the whole area is ironed out.

Like the blankets that cover me so pleasantly. I start dreaming of the next morning.

WENN DIE BULLYS TANZEN.

THE DAY. 200 KILOMETERS?

NIGHTFALL. THE DAY IS LEAVING, EVA,ALM IS COMING.

If you drive fast, it takes just about one and a half hours on the autobahn. Or approximately 1.100 lengths of a ski. Piste grooming included. Snow guarantee, too. With 56 lifts at last count. Some 500 helpers stand at your service when Mother Hulda is too lazy to shake a little snow our way. A day off due to lack of snow? No way. We've got 200 kilometers of slopes leading to 40 huts. Coziness guaranteed.

Mmmmh, a fluffy Kaiserschmarrn is undoubtedly the sweetest temptation at over 1.000 meters. Garnished with panoramic views over the valley. The sun caresses my face. A very welcome energy boost for the long journey through the Skicircus. At the end, efforts are rewarded with deep relaxation. A massage at eva,SPA. Loosens up my ski muscles.

Aaaah! Pure well-being!

Final stop in sports gear. At eva,ALM. Where else?

Best view over the bustling village life. A hot spiced wine or better an Aperol spritz? There is no sin on the mountain pasture. But there's something to satisfy every taste. A gourmet burger as little altimeter reward? After such a glorious day, this choice may be a bit sinful after all. So what?

Linger for a moment beneath the soothing warmth of the outdoor heaters at the eva,ALM. Back to paradise. The sun has left the valley. But it has left its mark. White traces around the eyes. Comforting warm beams in my head.

Outside the windows the alpine light dance starts all over again. The snow cats roll out the white carpet.

For the next day. Life is beautiful. In paradise!

Wintertime THE COLD SEASON GENERATES ITS OWN SPECIAL CHARM AND HARMONY.

ROASTED CHESTNUTS, HOT SPICED WINE, PUNCH. THE ROMANCE OF WINTER BRINGS A BIT OF PEACE AND QUIET INTO OUR LIVES.

HUSH, HUSH, HUSH, BECAUSE ...

POPPING CORKS ...

CHRISTMAS HAS ALWAYS BEEN SPECIAL IN PINZGAU.

ONE DEPARTS. THE OTHER IS ABOUT TO ARRIVE.

Christmas has a special meaning in the region of Pinzgau. You can feel the harmony on the 24th.

One says good-bye while the next says hello.

The turn of the year is upon us. This year is nearly history. And we bow our heads. Pleasant anticipation arises. New year. New happiness. New resolutions?

Well.

In eva,VILLAGE we celebrate together. Shortly after 7 p.m. Santa arrives on his sleigh. With the light of peace in town, of course. The honored guest appears in the lobby. A poem does best to welcome the Christ Child.

Join in the traditional torch run. The "New Year's Snow Show Unlimited" of the local ski instructors is a real eye-catcher. It never ceases to amaze.

The tree is aglow with candlelight. The candle of peace is being passed around. Santa starts intoning "Jingle Bells". Exactly. We all join in for one verse.

It's Christmas.

Afterwards fun & enjoyment is on the agenda. At the eva,VILLAGE, eva,GARDEN or eva,ALM. Events like this have to be celebrated thoroughly. A surprise awaits the ladies and gentlemen. Deservedly.

Finally. Santa starts handing out packages. The children's faces light up at the sight of the gifts and their smiles lift our spirits. Merry Christmas.

The last minutes of the old year float by quickly while cocktails and finest delicacies are being passed around. Amazing. And at midnight the wintry sky above Saalbach sparkles with hundreds of fireworks.

With a Viennese waltz & fireworks all expectations and hopes arise. Rightly so. Because 2015 will be a very good year.

But wait. We pause again for a moment. Silent night – we all sing the carol together before the boss himself sees off the Christ Child. And invites the guests to take their places at the beautifully decorated Christmas table.

Christmas tree service: You are welcome to choose the height and decoration of your Christmas tree the way you like it. Just let us know.

Enjoy the switch over

ON THE ALP THERE IS NO SIN, BECAUSE THEY ALL ARE ‚APRÉS’.

The hunter sits in the elevated hunting blind. And watches the goings-on. Nothing escapes him. All of a sudden a beautiful deer prances across the glade. A magnificent spectacle of nature. Yes, the observer has selected the best spot in the forest for his blind.

Thousands of images pass by evening after evening.

They want to be processed. "Entertaining," says the woman at the next table. "Always a pleasure. Every year," agrees the friendly elder gentleman on the other side.

The scene really quickens the appetite. But eye candy does not suffice at the observation post. It was a long, eventful day. Where is that menu? Now!

The onlookers in eva,PARADISE do the same. They track down the ideal place in town. From a "blind" you have to be able to see everything. To be always in the thick of things. Think of it as having a front row seat at the Saalbach catwalk. To catch the vivid scent of alpine life.

Yummy – Austrian pan-fries, burgers and numerous Pinzgau specialties. Your mouth waters. Indulgence at the blind. Quite a luxury, this life here.

On the one hand.

WHO NEEDS HOLLYWOOD? LONGING FOR THE REAL THING? The wintery catwalk in the pedestrian zone in Saalbach begs for an audience. No, this is not Hollywood and no Hollywood stars are expected. It's all the same to us. A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush, says an old proverb. Authenticity is on the rise again.

Heated from above, from below the cuddly blanket.

A glass of red wine from Burgenland? Or rather the eva,ALM punch. On your own or along with friends.

As you like it. Real life is always precious. For the moment.

e v o r p m i o t e l b i s s o p e b t i Couthldis magnificent spectacle?

THE GREAT TERRACE AT EVA,ALM OFFERS A FIRST CLASS PLACE TO HAVE FUN, EAT & DRINK Traditional minced meat, pepper sausages, mountain cheese, Vintschgerl bread, Brettljause, Spareribs, apple strudel. Garnished with a view over the promenade of life. Authentic, unadorned. Maybe not always. And yet.

31

EUPHORIA? PANIC? PURE ADRENALINE IN ANY CASE. Adrenaline, a stress hormone. Activates energy resources. Ensures survival in an emergency. Those who have just left paradise are strong. To hazard an adventure. Another shot of adrenaline is utterly welcome, as soon as you look down the narrow sill of a steep slope.

The landmark mountain of Saalbach. Which looked rather harmless, when I gazed at the shadow side from my balcony at eva,PARADISE.

The grand finale is near. A finish in World Cup quality. A quick photo stop. Selfie on steep slope. Simultanously posted in the net. For my buddies. How good to be online in the Skicircus.

The last turns. Adrenaline has long been indispensable.

Activates the last resources. Hold on. Swish to a halt.

With the last of my strength. Feeling proud. I did it!

1.020 meters. On the trot. Steep, very steep. Black as hell. A success story. Presented best in front of the fireplace at eva,ALM.

IT LOOKED SO HARMLESS IN THE BEGINNING. Now the ski tips tremble above the abyss. My knees, too. The "North", that’s what the slope is respectfully called in the village. A straight cut down through the forest. Direttissima. All the way down the valley.

Steep, very steep. Blackest black. Black is the code for more than 40 percent decline. No problem at all for the "North"! This slope has about a 70 percent decline!! In other words, at 31.5 degrees, the mountain breaks way into nothingness. It may sound a bit friendlier. But it doesn’t make the decision any easier.

A few daring souls rise up again in the Schattberg X-Press gondolas. They will rock the "North" again. I succumb to the temptation of paradise. Sauna, steam room, whirlpool. And a massage for the brave thighs.

Adrenaline yes, but now it’s time for tenderness. For my muscles. In paradise.

SKI LINE. HIGHER, LOWER, FARTHER? THE TRANSPARENT SKIER KNOWS HIS OWN DATA.

The last chance to escape via the red slope is gone.

The challenge is calling! No panic, no retreat. Just push off and I am under the spell of that steep gap.

A downhill run? Weary of life! Long carving turns?

Error message! Casually cruising down the mountain? Not at all! Here even the two-fisted locals have to neatly set every single turn. Precise, deliberate, focused.

The philosopher Francis Bacon said, "Knowledge is power." In our case knowledge is great fun.

Awesome. We simply retrieve the daily score in the evening with a cup of tea in our hands.

How many vertical meters did we conquer, how many lifts and piste kilometers did we leave behind us? It's as easy as that: Enter your lift pass number on the ski line portal or on the ski line terminals and analyze your daily profile. It’s much more eye-opening than the daily horoscope in the morning newspaper :-)

The edges grip. Thank God! And thanks to the perfect snow. Not only 100 percent snow guarantee. Also nonslip ground instead of icy planes like in the good old days. The thighs are burning anyway. They are yearning for paradise. Sauna, steam room, jacuzzi.

Superb. But first work, then play!

VERY ROMANTIC WINTER WALKS. The winter in Saalbach Hinterglemm offers endless alternatives to skiing and snowboarding. For those who want to experience stunning moments we recommend an unforgettable trip into the most wintery part of the valley.

ENJOYABLE WINTER HIKES. What could be better than exploring the snowy winter landscape under your own horsepower? Just don winter shoes or snow shoes and grab some poles. Off we go. At the end of Glemmtal in Lengau the romantic tour starts towards Lindlingalm. For approximately 20 minutes the snow will be crackling under your soles while you pass through pristine nature and wintry wonders. This trip is pure pleasure.

HORSE-POWERED ROMANCE. You can book "pure romance" for the ascent to Lindlingalm, too. Enjoy the somewhat remote, mostly snow-covered area comfortably cuddled under blankets on a sleigh. You will glide effortlessly up the mountain. With plenty of time to admire nature and to enjoy wonderful moments of togetherness. Horse-powered transport accompanied by the rhythmic clopping of hooves takes you up the mountainside. When you arrive at Lindlingalm you better buy another ticket right away for 1.000 meters of a fascinating high-altitude hiking path. The next goal lies in front of us. An imposing building that is on duty 365 days a year.

GOLDEN GATE. UNRIVALLED. Yes, we can. Saalbach has its own Golden Gate Bridge. A bridge 200 meters long right in the Alps. In the wintry evenings this monument starts shimmering magically, imposing, impressive. Pause for a moment. Sponge it up. This impression is for eternity. From a height of 40 meters, you look into the distance at the picture-perfect Alps. It’s a unique experience, especially in the winter when the Golden Gate Bridge is illuminated in the evening.

SKY WALK FOR LOVERS. People come here to celebrate special moments in life. Lovers have chosen this place to bear witness to their love. In connection with a question formulated pretty much the same way around the world: Will you marry me? Nature's magic strengthens the bond of love. Of course nature does not mind if the question is asked another way.

NO RISK! BUT FUN!

CRUISING SAFELY BY ALL MEANS!

ADRENALINE, A HORMONE OF FELICITY. It’s in the veins of every individualist. This superb flush while free riding far from the mainstream. In the back country. But there is no help in case of an emergency.

Find your own line, cruising away from the mainstream. Put down the first tracks in the virgin snow. So do not turn left after the first traverse, where the slope morphs into black. Continue straight ahead, pass the saddle and straight again. Leaving the beaten track.

You'd better not forget about your own safety when you're in the grip of the "white rush". Pay attention to the avalanche report and avalanche beacon, take along a shovel, probe and perhaps even buckle on an airbag if you are looking for the ultimate kick in the untouched.

The slopers* observe your expedition sceptically.

Where's he going? No worries. You're already focusing on the snow cornices above you. They'd better hold. Otherwise you'll have to head back to the herd.

One final check. It's safe.

Schattberg, east peak, 2.020 meters above sea level.

Get out of the Schattberg X-Press. The broad latches look smashing in your hands. They will provide the necessary draft. But still too many slope fans around you. Therefore, turn left immediately after the exit.

Take the number one slope to "The North". A great challenge, too. But you are eager to shake off the hustle and bustle.

A treeless ridge. It is quiet. You keep right until you have nearly reached "Dillinger Eck" (1.875 m). Another dip. Left yields to right again. The first pristine flanks are in sight. Feel the freedom. The ski tips push through powder. Wonderfully easy. Heading towards the forest below. The clearing is waiting.

GROWING WARM UPHILL. COMFORT & COLD. WHO WINS THE RACE?

SURELY BEAUTIFUL IN THE SUMMERTIME. A short stop on the fragrant wildflower meadow.

Today only the white powder counts. Soft as cotton batting beneath the broad latches. Hover. Weightless. Your breath. The first pause. Silence. Right in the middle of the Skicircus. A narrow pass between the trees. The next strike. Room for spacious cruising.

Exclusively yours!

Heated seats hover across the mountains. The shuttle, the gondola or the "Bubble" – the skiers’ cloud – protecting against the cold, wind and weather. Luxurious lifts, the mountaineer thinks.

Contemplating the past. The iced jet trousers – the nickname for the sleek, tight ski pants – at a one-seater chairlift.

A short encounter with the slope. The "Jausern". The signs display "2b". You accompany them for an instant, then you veer off again. To the right. Now it’s getting interesting. An open hillside. Enthusiasm. Past the haystack, following the power line. Back again in the civilized ski world. Reunion with the "slopers". We will meet one or the other again in the evening. During the exquisite dinner at eva,VILLAGE or eva,GARDEN. Anybody wondering who has the most interesting stories to tell? Pffff!

It was more like swinging up to the summit.

From today's perspective, an unprotected ascent. Strategies for keeping warm distinguished the experienced from the beginners. Unthinkable today. The modern alpine adventurer needs comfort zones like the car needs seat heating. For the uphill business as well. Externally controlled and relaxing.

another name for ski tourists who prefer to stay on the groomed slopes even when there's fresh powder elsewhere. But that’s okay. As there is more left for you ;-))

ROUND TRIP. TAKE A SKI TOUR. ONE ROUND-TRIP TO SKICIRCUS, PLEASE. We're getting ready for a day on the slopes. Five hours of alpine adventure is on the agenda. Mainly on blue slopes. Off to the top of Bernkogel. Climb into the gondola and ascend 2.016 meters. That’s the perfect start to a day of skiing.

Then down again to Leogang. Up again with the Asitz lift. Head towards Kohlmais. Stomach growling again? Prepare for a stopover at Panorama or Maisalm. Chill out, enjoy yourself and get ready for the slope heading back home.

Then cross over towards Reiterkogelbahn up to the mountain pasture. If you're already hungry, try the region's best roast chicken salad at Rosswaldhütte.

Don't worry. You will have burned off the calories by the end of the day after covering 40 kilometers of slope and a vertical distance of 7.240 meters.

FRESHLY FORTIFIED. CONTINUE ON YOUR WAY TO THE NORTHERN ZWÖLFERKOGEL. THE LEGENDARY SCHATTBERG IS CALLING. MARVELOUS. JUST SURF THIS LEGEND DOWN TO THE VALLEY. Change over. On the other side of the valley, head back up with the Schönleiten cable lift. Enjoy the stunning view.
