Local History & Ski Museum in Saalbach
History and sport
The local home and ski museum in Saalbach is a place where you can connect the past and present of the Glemmtal. The local house is an old farmer's fiefdom from 1350 that shows the way of life and culture of the former residents. The Ski Museum presents the development of skiing in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, from the first wooden skis to modern carving skis. Here you can also admire the successes of local ski stars such as Hans Enn, Bernhard Russi and Hermann Maier.
The local home and ski museum is not just a museum, but also a lively meeting place for locals and guests. Events, guided tours, workshops and exhibitions take place here regularly, keeping the cultural heritage of the Glemmtal alive. A special highlight is the special exhibition “The bee and its importance for us humans and the ecosystem”, which shows the fascinating world of bees and their contribution to sustainability.
