About Leogang

Leogang is the quieter, more family-oriented entry point into the 270km Skicircus Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang-Fieberbrunn — one of Austria's best-connected ski domains — offering the same terrain access as the livelier Saalbach village at measurably lower prices. The Asitz gondola from the village base connects directly into the Skicircus circuit, and Leogang's south-facing lower slopes and gentle progression from village level make it particularly welcoming for families with younger children. The mountain biking heritage — Leogang hosts World Cup downhill events on its trails — gives the resort a dual-season energy that distinguishes it from purely traditional Austrian ski villages.
