Christmas Holiday in the Mountains: Experience Christmas in Saalbach

Christmas at home can be wonderful. But it can also mean a lot of organising. Presents, grocery shopping, cooking, decorating and coordinating family plans can quickly fill the entire festive season.

A Christmas holiday in the mountains changes the rhythm completely. In Saalbach, your day starts with snowy peaks outside the window rather than a long to-do list. You simply decide whether you want to ski, go for a winter walk or spend a slow afternoon in the spa.

eva,VILLAGE is located right in the centre of Saalbach. The Kohlmais lift is around 30 metres away, the Bernkogel lift around 80 metres and the Schattberg lift around 200 metres away. That means you can start your ski day without long transfers or driving.

The Ski ALPIN CARD is the valid ski pass and gives you access to Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn, Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See and Kitzsteinhorn Kaprun, with up to 408 kilometres of pistes across the three areas.

Christmas in Saalbach does not have to be all about skiing, though. Sleep a little longer. Enjoy breakfast without watching the clock. Walk through the snowy village or spend the afternoon in the eva,SPA. Outside, the winter evening slowly begins while everything inside feels warm and cosy.

That contrast is what makes a Christmas holiday in Austria so special.

“Christmas does not need more plans. Sometimes all it needs is snow outside, warmth indoors and the right people around the table.”
Christmas with Kids: Family Holidays in Snowy Saalbach
Christmas with kids is often about the small things. Seeing fresh snow in the morning. Skiing together. Building something in the snow. Coming back inside with cold cheeks and warming up with hot chocolate.

For families, Saalbach is especially convenient because everything is close together. At eva,VILLAGE, you stay in the middle of the village and only a few steps from the lifts. That makes mornings much easier, especially when you are travelling with children.

If somebody wants to head back to the hotel earlier, the whole day does not have to change. Thanks to the central location, everyone can stay flexible.

After a day outside, the eva,SPA is waiting with an indoor pool and plenty of warmth. For children, the pool often becomes one of the highlights of the holiday, while adults can slow down and relax.

Christmas dinner is easier too. With our ¾ board, breakfast starts the day, an afternoon snack is waiting later on and dinner rounds off the evening.

Nobody has to spend hours cooking. Nobody has to clean up afterwards. Nobody has to plan tomorrow’s shopping.

That leaves more time for the thing Christmas should really be about: being together.

Maybe your favourite moments will be the simple ones. Watching snow fall from your room. Playing a game together. Taking an evening walk through the lights of Saalbach or staying at the table just a little longer after dinner.

A family Christmas holiday in Saalbach combines winter adventures with relaxed family time – without the need to schedule every minute.
