Between summit bliss, freeride feeling and soul food on the terrace
Summer is slowly getting going, but you already want a full dose of fresh air, freedom and adventure?
Then head to Saalbach - because June is the perfect time to experience the mountains, without the crowds, with a pleasantly mild climate and plenty of space for real #evamoments.
Whether you're more of a relaxer, adrenaline junkie or pleasure-seeker - unforgettable experiences await you in and around the eva,VILLAGE, just waiting to be discovered. We'll show you 10 things you definitely shouldn't miss in Saalbach in June. And believe us: June will be your favourite month.
1. sunrise vibes on the Schattberg - your perfect start to the day
Getting up early is so worth it when you're in Saalbach in June. The Schattberg - our local mountain - beckons with a sunrise that will take your breath away. Even before the lifts start, you can set off on a hike or bike ride with a headlamp and a thermos flask of coffee and experience the golden magic at the top. The view over the peaks as the first rays of sunshine push through the mountains? Pure goosebumps.
And the best thing is: afterwards you can roll back to the eva,VILLAGE, treat yourself to a hearty breakfast (with extra coffee, of course) and start the day with ease.
2. bike hotspot Saalbach - addictive trails
Saalbach = mountain bike legend. And in June? The trails are fresh, the ground is dry and the temperatures are ideal. So: helmet on, gloves on, GoPro running - let's go! Whether you're a beginner or you've already melted into your bike - you'll find your line here.
Our favourites:
Hacklberg Trail - pure flow with a panoramic addiction factor
Z-Line - playful, creative, simply nice
Bergstadl trail - more technical, rougher and super exciting
Plus: As an eva guest, you are perfectly equipped with Bike'n Soul - rental bikes, service and guide tips included.
3. picnic with a panorama - Taste the Alps!
Sounds cheesy? It is. But that's exactly what we want: a picnic in the meadow, with a view of the mountains, barefoot on the grass, birds chirping, and you bite into a fresh piece of farmhouse bread with regional cheese.
At eva,VILLAGE you can request a lovingly packed picnic basket - filled with regional snacks, fruit, juice and everything you need to unwind. Find your favourite spot somewhere between mountain and flower and forget the time. #Alpine romance at its best.
4. alpine yoga - breathe freely
What could be more sincere than a sun salutation on a real mountain pasture? Various open-air yoga sessions start again in Saalbach in June - either with a trainer or simply for yourself.
Grab your mat (or borrow one from us), go outside and find your own flow. The combination of fresh air, birdsong and an unobstructed view over the mountains is better than any playlist. And afterwards: Detox tea at the eva,BEAUTY Spa. Or a gin and tonic? Both are valid.
5. Sundowner on the eva,TERRASSE - Cheers to Summer Nights
When the sun slowly disappears behind the peaks and everything turns golden, it's the perfect moment for an Aperol with a view. Our eva,TERRASSE is the place to be to round off the day in style.
Whether alone with your favourite book or in good company - here the drink tastes better, the laughter is louder and the atmosphere is easy going. Order a signature drink from our bar, grab a blanket and celebrate summer your way.
6. Spa & Slow Mornings - self-care at 1,003 m
June is also perfect for all those who don't want to start their holiday with action, but with a gentle ‘Ahhh...’. Our eva,BEAUTY Spa is your retreat for deep relaxation - sauna, steam bath, infrared, relaxation area & treatments for body and soul.
Pro tip: Book a massage after your hike or bike tour - your body will thank you. Or start the day with a beauty treatment and head out into the mountains as radiant as a summer's day.
7. via ferrata adventure for those who love heights
Ready for a bit of adrenaline? There are a few great via ferrata routes in the Saalbach area that are also suitable for beginners. Whether at the high ropes course in Hinterglemm or on the via ferrata ‘Marokka’ - here you can test your courage, surpass yourself and enjoy fantastic views.
And the best thing is: everything is easily accessible, guides and equipment are available from the local partners - and afterwards you can jump into the cool mountain lake. Win-win!
8th summer events & music feeling
June is the starting signal for the Saalbach event summer! From chilled concerts in the valley to the first alpine festivals and street food pop-ups - it's time to party, dance, laugh and live.
Keep your ears open and ask at reception what's going on - we'll keep you up to date. And don't worry: if you want to take it easy, you'll also find a quiet spot in the great outdoors.
9. Alpine meadow hike - just like in a picture book
In June, the time has finally come: the alpine meadows are in full bloom and transform the mountains into a colourful sea of flowers. Whether to the Lindlingalm, the Hackeralm or on your own - take your time, sniff the herbs, listen to the buzzing of the bees and enjoy life.
Hiking becomes a slow travel experience here. And with the JOKER CARD (free for eva guests) you can travel on many mountain lifts for free - nice!
10. collect #evamoments that last
The best memories? Are often the little things. The ray of sunshine on your face, the Kaiserschmarrn at the hut, laughing with new people or that one perfect moment at the mountain lake.
At eva,VILLAGE you won't just find a room, but an attitude to life. Open, warm, casual - and just right for the start of your summer. Let your mobile phone glow, fill your feed with real experiences and tag us: @eva.hotels - we love to see it!
