Two hotels. Two vibes. One goal: your unforgettable day on the slopes.

The Challenge – the most legendary ski circuit in the Alps
Ski your limit – this is more than just a slogan, it's a true call to action. Because what Saalbach has created with The Challenge is nothing less than the longest interconnected ski circuit in the Alps.

By the numbers?
65 kilometers of pure downhill fun, 12,400 vertical meters, 32 different lifts, 7 hours of skiing – without breaks!
What that means: if you want to conquer The Challenge, you’ll need timing, stamina, a solid breakfast – and a hotel with direct access to the first gondola. Check – you’ll get both with us.

But beware: it’s not just about distance, it’s about emotion. From sunrise in Hinterglemm to the final carving turn in Fieberbrunn, you’ll experience an epic ski journey through four regions, all connected by a perfectly developed network of lifts and slopes.

Along the way: breathtaking views, authentic mountain huts (yes, with Kaiserschmarrn), and the unique feeling of truly being “on the move” – on skis.

By the way, anyone who completes the route and checks in via the app will be immortalized in the Hall of Fame at saalbach.com. And that’s not just marketing – that’s real local prestige.

Two hotels. Two different moods. One goal: your unforgettable ski day
Whether you want to hit the sauna after a full-on day in the mountains or switch to high performance mode over breakfast.
For adventurers & active spirits: 4*s eva,VILLAGE
Here, you’re right in the heart of the action – just a few steps from the valley station. Get up early, hit the slopes – and go all in for the day. Afterward: relax in the eva,SPA, kick back by the open fire in the Livingroom, toast to the day over dinner.

The 4-star superior eva,VILLAGE is more than just a stylish hotel. It’s your platform for #evamoments – and your very own “Ski your limit” experience.

For peace & pleasure: eva,GARDEN – adults only
Want to start your day on skis but end it with a bit more quiet? Then eva,GARDEN is your winter oasis.

Just a few minutes from the center and still close to the slopes, here you’ll find an adults-only atmosphere, a finely tuned breakfast focusing on quality and regional products, a view over Saalbach that motivates you every morning, a calm retreat after a long day on the mountain.
You decide how much action you want – and still enjoy full eva comfort with an extra dose of privacy.

Planning The Challenge – our tips for your ultimate ski day
To make sure your Challenge day flows smoothly rather than frustratingly, here are our top insider tips:

Start early – best to be on the slopes when the lifts open. The route is long – the earlier you begin, the more relaxed it will be.
Fuel up with a powerful breakfast – both eva hotels offer energy-packed options: fresh bread, healthy bowls, protein snacks, and of course coffee with character.
Use the app – the Saalbach app lets you track your progress and register for the official Hall of Fame.
Plan for breaks – even if you’re going hard, make time for highlights along the way: for example, a cozy mountain hut stop on the Tyrolean side or a sunny moment on the summit.
Wind down in style – after so much input, take time to relax. Whether it’s with a glass of wine at the bar or a sauna session at eva,SPA.

The Challenge meets lifestyle – what makes this day so special
What makes The Challenge truly exceptional isn’t just the athletic aspect – it’s everything around it.

You experience an entire ski region in one day. You carve through landscapes that change dramatically. And in the end, you’ll feel: “Wow – that was more than a ski day. That was an experience.”

Paired with eva, it becomes a winter day that stays with you long after. Whether sporty or indulgent, our promise remains: stylish comfort, quality in every detail, and the feeling of being exactly where you belong.
