#<strong>eva</strong>moments<br />
Focus on yourself.<br />
CHERISH THE MOMENT.<br />
The allegedly selfish tone of the above lines drowns out<br />
the positive aspect of the statement: in times of hustle<br />
and bustle, thirst for action and chasing "likes" we tend<br />
to forget ourselves and live in the moment.<br />
Certainly, every moment is followed<br />
by the next, so there should<br />
be enough of them for us to enjoy.<br />
However, it is time to focus on being<br />
fully present. Being aware of life. Because<br />
life is as unique as every one<br />
of us.<br />
Listening to the soft rustling of the<br />
leaves in autumn, marvelling at the<br />
dancing dewdrops in the spring sun,<br />
enjoying the humming of the bees in<br />
summer or feeling the snow. Taking a<br />
look behind the scenes of life. Deliberately<br />
making time to do exactly this. And doing it<br />
with all of our senses.<br />
Because time flows relentlessly,<br />
whether we like it or not. What happened<br />
will be forever stored in the<br />
past. Only our memories bear witness<br />
to things that once existed. And this treasure<br />
chest of memories wants to be filled.<br />
With trivial things that often eke out an existence<br />
on the side lines. The ostensible remedy for this<br />
fast-paced life is to use time, our most precious good,<br />
purposefully. Let’s take it back up on the fully-lit stage of<br />
approval. In days gone by, life was led in harmony with<br />
the sun and the moon. At sunrise people went up to the<br />
mountain pasture or into the forests or fields to work.<br />
They went to bed when the sun bade the day farewell.<br />
With the invention of technology, we<br />
took away some of time’s power.<br />
With our smartphones ready, we desperately<br />
try to capture the moment.<br />
But while we're looking for the perfect<br />
selfie, we’ve already lost sight of<br />
the reason why we're staring at the<br />
screen in the first place instead of<br />
just enjoying the moment and simply<br />
leaving the phone on standby without<br />
having a guilty conscience. Of<br />
course, it is now part of our adventures<br />
to capture them on some device<br />
and share them adding #voilässig<br />
with our friends. But even Paracelsus<br />
knew that it is the dose that makes the<br />
poison. This is the reason why, for more<br />
than a decade, we have put a KOMMA behind<br />
everyday life by conviction. From the<br />
Greek κόμμα (comma), which stands for cut or<br />
break. Making a cut to living our lives to the fullest and<br />
not getting lost in the daily routine.<br />
To being aware of time.<br />
To living in the moment.<br />

RELAXING DELUXE.<br />
Recharging your batteries, leaving the hectic rush outside. The hosts fill us in<br />
on their secret. Memories of nocturnal snacking come to life – just think of<br />
Hans in Luck (KOMMA nr.4 p.29), who was caught red-handed rummaging in<br />
the pantry. But let's leave the culinary capers aside, there's another way to unwind.<br />
The members of the host family tell the inside story and reveal what they<br />
do to relax in their free time.<br />
DANIELA, who climbs high<br />
to come down.<br />
To get the perfect view on things,<br />
Daniela escapes to the mountains.<br />
She either does that by cycling,<br />
walking at a fast pace or with snow<br />
under her skis – ski tips pointing<br />
uphill. To reset her hard drive, she<br />
likes to sit on mountain tops in meditation<br />
posture and look into the<br />
distance, preferably in total silence<br />
and all by herself. Absorbing energy<br />
through short Pranayama sessions.<br />
Exhaling the daily life, inhaling the<br />
fresh mountain air. Daniela loves it!<br />
Not to forget her sociability and<br />
bantering and laughing with her<br />
favourite people. “That gives me<br />
strength“ she smiles – right before<br />
she jumps head first into the refreshing<br />
lake Hochtorsee. To unwind.<br />
Power HANS<br />
in inclined position.<br />
The early bird catches the worm.<br />
Hans, as a convinced "early bird<br />
carver", knows just that and can<br />
be found on the freshly prepared<br />
Bernkogel slopes early in the morning.<br />
Right in front of their front<br />
door, what a luxury! Just like his<br />
daughter, he likes to conquer the<br />
winterly peaks by going on ski tours,<br />
preferably to the Geierkogel or the<br />
Spieleckkogel mountain, drawing<br />
strength from nature.<br />
Before the daily business starts,<br />
the hotelier starts his summer days<br />
with a morning run. A daily dose of<br />
“short escape” is how he refers to<br />
his sport session. During the summer<br />
time, the skis are replaced by<br />
the e-bike. Hans’ favourite bike tour<br />
is to Tirol and back via the Asitz<br />
mountain. Recharging by moving.<br />
WHAT DO YOU DO TO RELAX<br />
BY THE WAY?<br />
Also moving and breathing some<br />
fresh mountain air? Tell us more if<br />
you like, preferably at the hotel bar.<br />
EVA<br />
Flower girl.<br />
We, the Unterkofler family,<br />
are looking forward to it!<br />
Eva has a soft spot for beautiful things. Dresses, perfumes, lotions and mountains.<br />
This doesn’t come as a surprise. But Eva, who is a former ski instructor,<br />
also feels frequently drawn to climb the Kohlmais mountain. When a wonderful<br />
meadow of flowers caresses her nose, her moment of relaxation is perfect.<br />
Sometimes, Eva feels like having a workout. Then she takes her e-bike into the<br />
valley head. The reward for the hard-working athletes? Having brunch at the<br />
Saalalm. But mostly, Eva likes to sit on her <strong>eva</strong>,ALM – to look at people, chat and<br />
enjoy the food. Happiness is often so close. Embrace it!<br />

<strong>eva</strong>,VILLAGE = THE VILLAGE.<br />
Saalbach is a village. This is hard to believe during<br />
the busy winter months, but yes, we “Saalbacher”<br />
live in a village. With all the amenities of this social<br />
structure. Tradition is not only staged, it is lived in<br />
the Glemmtal valley. The Lederhosen and Dirndls are<br />
not a costume, but rather a proud sign of belonging,<br />
worn by young and old.<br />
The dirndl especially reveals the origin of the woman<br />
wearing it. Namely whether she is from the Pongau,<br />
Lungau or Pinzgau region. A proud diversification of<br />
valleys and regions. Rumour has it that these differences<br />
were once established to facilitate love affairs<br />
between the people of the valleys. Because the apron<br />
reveals more than you might think at first glance. If<br />
a woman has tied her apron on the left side, the fair<br />
lady is single and ready to mingle. Married women or<br />
women in serious relationships tie their apron on the<br />
right side. This way, men get all vital information via<br />
the costume and the apron of their beloved.<br />
Probably the Tinder of former days ;-)<br />
THE VILLAGE = PEACE AND CALM<br />
At least, the church bells are not drowned out by<br />
traffic noise etc. Particularly at <strong>eva</strong>, you can hear<br />
their enchanting sound clearly, but not in an irritating<br />
way. The church bells of Saalbach are like the<br />
clockwork of the village.<br />
Apart from telling the time, the bells warn of thunderstorms<br />
and hail by relentless ringing. Alarm bells, so to<br />
speak. In addition, they ring to wish newly wedded couples<br />
happiness and, unfortunately, also to give farewell<br />
at someone’s funeral. Because everyone knows everyone<br />
in Saalbach.<br />
The Saalbach church and its bells are old, very old.<br />
Long before the discovery of America, those church<br />
bells rang in the Glemmtal valley for mass. We know<br />
that they date back to before 1410, but no exact year.<br />
Churches have always been important for the development<br />
of settlements and villages. In 1489, Archbishop<br />
Johannes III Beckenschlager granted the peasant community<br />
the right to trade in the town centre and they<br />
no longer have to deliver the laboriously produced products<br />
to Zell am See or Saalfelden.<br />
The birth of an economically successful village. And years<br />
later, the skis came along, but that is another story.<br />
A COW IN THE VILLAGE.<br />
The term “one-horse town” (we Austrians call it<br />
“cow-village”) is rather pejorative, but there is some<br />
truth to it. Because the intact flora and fauna in Saalbach<br />
knows how to beguile. And the cow on the alpine<br />
meadows simply belongs in that picture. You<br />
will find mostly Pinzgauer cows on our meadows. A<br />
chestnut-and-white-coloured very sturdy breed. Not to<br />
be confused with the Simmental breed. The Pinzgauer<br />
have been native to the region for a long time, but the<br />
name of the breed was first mentioned in writing in<br />
1846. As cattle that could be used for three different<br />
purposes, it was once an important part of the local<br />
farms. In addition to their function as milk and meat<br />
suppliers, the valuable animals were also used as draft<br />
animals for ploughs and heavy loads. Only the wealthiest<br />
of the farmers had horses for these tasks.<br />
Today, the Pinzgauer cattle are real jet setters. A frugal<br />
export hit of local breeders. Their name proudly reveals<br />
their origin. The cows on the alpine pastures are<br />
proof that you will find only regional food on your plate.<br />
At least that is the case at <strong>eva</strong>,. The head chef likes<br />
to create his dishes from local products and therefore<br />
the guests’ taste buds are cosseted by local meat and<br />
fish as well as herbs from the hotel’s garden.<br />
The apricots come from the Wachau – hand-picked by<br />
Hans and Eva Unterkofler. Because Kaiserschmarrn*<br />
with Marillenröster** is part of our menu, even<br />
though it is not an invention from the Pinzgauer region.<br />
It once was the emperor's favourite dish during<br />
hunting season. Today, it is the favourite dish of many<br />
guests at <strong>eva</strong>,. “Idyllic world” may sound a bit plump<br />
in times of digitalisation and bustling activities.<br />
But there is a lot of truth behind it, for despite modernity<br />
finding its way to Saalbach, village life has a firm place<br />
in all hearts and this is also lived and cherished. Village<br />
TIME in everyday life, if you will. At <strong>eva</strong>,VILLAGE.<br />

TIME FOR<br />
the good things<br />
"On your holidays, you should be able to let yourself<br />
go! Relax, recharge and have the best possible<br />
time. I like to take care of my guests", Eva, the good<br />
soul and boss of the <strong>eva</strong>, Hotels tells us with a smile<br />
on her face.<br />
She is taken with the fine things and therefore, you<br />
will find a selected choice of those in the <strong>eva</strong>,BEAUTY<br />
Shop. We are talking about beauty & fashion, of course.<br />
The aesthetes will love it. And also love the scents and<br />
feel of the products.<br />
Chanel, Estée Lauder, Maria Galland, La Perla,<br />
Twinset and many more extravagant highlights<br />
celebrate the alpine way of life in the <strong>eva</strong>, Shop.<br />
From trendy hair accessories, exclusive lingerie<br />
and swimwear, extravagant scarves and accessories.<br />
This mix of beautiful products is enhanced by<br />
our numerous treatments. That figures. High up, at<br />
the peak of good taste.<br />

The magic 4 with KOMMA – the square of enjoyment. Four companies in the mountains of Saalbach providing<br />
countless #<strong>eva</strong>moments. Special moments you can experience today and which will become wonderful<br />
memories. Situated at an altitude of 1,008 meters, <strong>eva</strong>, loves putting a KOMMA behind things. As in putting a<br />
KOMMA behind daily routine. With a lot of love for people, nature, sports and the beautiful things in life.<br />
<strong>eva</strong>, stands for a lively family business with innovative minds and warmhearted people. The passion and hospitality,<br />
the casual cordiality and openness, the special attention to detail, but above all the employees make the<br />
two hotels and the <strong>eva</strong>,ALM and <strong>eva</strong>,BEAUTY shop a very special holiday experience for all senses.<br />
In the middle of the village, the <strong>eva</strong>,VILLAGE serves as a hot spot for those hunting for culinary pleasure.<br />
Cosy, alpine and nevertheless quite modern. A bit further up the hill, with a view over the rooftops, you can<br />
experience an alpine holiday at <strong>eva</strong>,GARDEN. A sporty, traditional alpine hideaway offering beautiful views<br />
and culinary masterpieces. The <strong>eva</strong>,ALM, is a popular hangout, where most people come after they’ve released<br />
enough adrenaline on the slopes, paths or trails. Both in winter and summer, this alpine cabin situated in the<br />
village is a cool meeting place. Thanks to the heated patio, life here takes place outdoors throughout the year<br />
and you can have great food or drinks all day long. <strong>eva</strong>,BEAUTY takes care of the good things in life. See Eva<br />
to book nurturing treatments with Eva and find rouge, lingerie as well as cool accessories in the <strong>eva</strong>, Shop.<br />
No pain, just gain.<br />
And this is why the KOMMA after <strong>eva</strong>, does not separate – it combines things. For example, everyday life with<br />
a holiday, traditions with modernity, the tried and true with the new. And at the same time, it remains open for<br />
everything that may come. Therefore, a KOMMA and not a full stop. The square is now complete. Yes, <strong>eva</strong>, has<br />
some rough edges. That is alpine character.<br />

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE,<br />
OPEN-HEARTED.<br />
ALPINE. COOL. CHIC.<br />
The <strong>eva</strong>,VILLAGE is right in the centre of the village,<br />
where life is vibrant and people like to meet. The<br />
church bells are proof of that proximity. Surrounded<br />
by mountains, distances are short and the days are<br />
long at <strong>eva</strong>,VILLAGE. In just a few steps you can reach<br />
the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn<br />
or end up on the hiking trails and paths in summer.<br />
Whether the Bernkogel or the new Kohlmais<br />
cable car – there is no room for distances at <strong>eva</strong>,. Not<br />
even when it comes to interpersonal relationships,<br />
because cordiality is what sets the tone around here.<br />
Interior design is lived and loved at <strong>eva</strong>,VILLAGE. The<br />
cushion made of loden cloth is flirting with old wood,<br />
leather and Swiss stone pine are trying to out-scent<br />
each other and the clear structures provide a sense<br />
of order. The earthy shades have a calming effect on<br />
eyes and mind. Alpine interior interpreted in a modern<br />
way. Clear, yet allowing to dream.<br />

CULINARY DELIGHTS.<br />
Lovers of fresh air start their rounds at the<br />
breakfast buffet as early as 7.30 am –<br />
knowing full well that they could also come<br />
later. People who like to party need to<br />
regenerate, of course, and therefore, night owls<br />
and late risers can enjoy bread rolls,<br />
muesli, croissants, home-made honey and<br />
whatever their heart desires until 1 pm.<br />
The afternoon snacks strengthen athletes<br />
and those seeking a break before the crowning<br />
finale of the day, the 5-course menu or<br />
theme buffet in the evening.<br />
THE HEROES<br />
OF THE DAY &<br />
THE NIGHT.<br />
They maintain law and order. Tirelessly and fired by passion.<br />
Batman, Ironman, Superman ... and our doorman. A<br />
superhero of the old school: etiquette and politeness are<br />
his most precious possession. Come in, welcome to <strong>eva</strong>,!<br />
Inside, the barman greets us with a smile, produces the<br />
best cocktails off the cuff and waits behind the counter, always<br />
with an open ear for his guests. Batman and Robin?<br />
Oh, let's stop this nonsense. Our men put a smile on our<br />
guests’ faces!<br />

POST-SWEATING *<br />
Just like at <strong>eva</strong>,ALM the word “après” plays a major role. What could<br />
be nicer than diving into the indoor pool after a day of mountain conquests?<br />
The sauna, a place for a heated chat or peace and quiet, warms you up<br />
before you can cool down and refresh in the pool. Organic saunarium and<br />
steam bath to relax in the warmth. It is just nice. In winter time, the sauna<br />
master really heats the place up – get ready for a soothing sweat marathon.<br />
The panorama garden on the roof attracts visitors with its view and sun<br />
loungers. Perfect views for your holiday in the mountains.<br />

A DIFFERENT WAY OF TIME TRAVELLING.<br />
Is it possible to turn back time? Hardly? But we can at least<br />
make sure that you will feel revived. Hence a different way<br />
of time travelling. A journey to yourself.<br />
In the <strong>eva</strong>,SPA, our trained trackers decode your map of meridians<br />
and fasciae and turn back your body clock a little.<br />
With the help of lava stone, honey-yoghurt massage, chocolate<br />
massage, and many more.<br />

THE SILENCE<br />
A feeling of intimate peace when your eyes wander<br />
over the peaks into the distance. It appears a bit sublime,<br />
here, at the POINTS OF INTEREST of the wide<br />
and panoramic views. Looking far into the distance<br />
yet resting in the here and now ... we like!<br />
* THE CLASSIC<br />
It is everything but miserable up here. This mountain<br />
lies just a little hidden in the head of the valley, ruggedly<br />
soaring up into the sky. We are talking about<br />
the legendary Tristkogel mountain (trist=miserable in<br />
German) with a height of 2,095 m. A proud mountain<br />
inviting to sunrise hikes almost all year round thanks<br />
to the magnificent east-facing panoramic view.<br />
THE mountain for diligent hikers or for alpine conquest<br />
by ski tourers. But beware: in winter the Tristkogel<br />
can become a bit dangerous. Being experienced<br />
and careful is a priority here ... we are in the mountains,<br />
after all. Daniela loves this mountain – particularly<br />
climbing it. She smiles and tells us about her<br />
memories. Tip: Her favourite spot, lake Hochtorsee is<br />
not far from here ;-)<br />
* FOR EVERYONE<br />
The Schattberg offers skiers great views. Right at the<br />
exit of the mountain station, they will have a view on<br />
the Hohe Tauern mountains. This view gets even better<br />
as soon as they have reached the Stemmerkogel.<br />
This “march” (one needs to take off their skis to get<br />
there) is followed by a ride through powder snow back<br />
on the slope.<br />
In summer time, you can enjoy beautiful views during<br />
the Seven Summits long-distance hike, where the cable<br />
car ride uphill is included. Seven lofty peaks allow<br />
those seeking views to take enough breathers. With<br />
a hiking time of approximately nine hours, these moments<br />
of rest are really necessary.<br />
16
IN THE DISTANCE.<br />
* AN OCEAN OF STONES<br />
The path to Schönleiten is a small highlight of every<br />
hike. The view on the Leoganger Steinberge (stone<br />
mountains) is like a constant companion before your<br />
eyes meet the Steinerne Meer (Ocean of stones).<br />
They are like balm for the soul with their impressive,<br />
almost majestic charisma.<br />
Visiting the Wildenkarkogel mountain in winter for a<br />
moment of peace and quiet really pays off. Your memories<br />
will thank you later.<br />
* IN THE FOREST...<br />
...yet far up high. Between treetops and squirrels, your<br />
thoughts will quiet down. You can catch a glimpse of<br />
the valley through the branches. The Baumzipfelweg<br />
(treetop path) at the end of the Saalbach valley offers<br />
an unusual view full of power and zest for action.<br />
POI = LOI<br />
GPS devices are everywhere: on people’s wrists, in<br />
their pockets, on the displays of their mobiles, ... POIs<br />
(points of interest) are precise coordinates with added<br />
value for the user.<br />
Simply a location of interest (LOI)!<br />

OM<br />
NAMASTE.<br />
When two complementary worlds such as yoga<br />
and hiking meet, a mini-big-bang-like, almost<br />
alchemistic moment arises, which produces something<br />
wonderful and new: the way to achieve a<br />
deep inner silence.<br />
[ Yoga ]<br />
<strong>eva</strong>, has been offering “alpinised” Yoga for some<br />
time now. The liaison of mountain panorama, fresh<br />
air, gentle body movements and deep breathing<br />
exercises goes together just like Kaiserschmarrn and<br />
Marillenröster. A pleasure for body and soul!<br />
Gunter is our man for the yoga practise. The passionate<br />
mountaineer has been practising yoga for<br />
decades and gives classes at <strong>eva</strong>,VILLAGE a couple<br />
of times per week. He does, whenever possible and<br />
preferably outside, a bit further up in the mountains.<br />
Yoga in the mountains is a great escape from everyday<br />
life, and the majestic mountains and picturesque<br />
nature make you feel a little bit smaller and your<br />
thoughts and worries appear less important. Therefore,<br />
the surroundings create the perfect conditions<br />
for undisturbed deep relaxation.<br />
PACKAGE:<br />
Our yoga & hiking packages includes hikes and<br />
yoga sessions with Gunter. Experience meditation<br />
with Pranayama breathing exercises at the Wildenkar<br />
mountain lake. Experience and benefit from<br />
Gunter's knowledge about nutrition, hiking, yoga,<br />
meditation, mental training, sport and conscious<br />
living. Enjoy!<br />

THE MILLER’S PLEASURES.<br />
The popular German phrase<br />
“Wandering is the miller’s joy”<br />
has actually nothing to with a miller.<br />
This is the first line of a poem called “Wandering”<br />
by Wilhelm Müller (German for miller)<br />
dated back to the year 1821.<br />
[ Hiking ]<br />
During the days of our great-grandmothers, wandering<br />
was a form of travelling. Carrying only the bare<br />
necessities, people walked great distances, often not<br />
knowing how far they would get. Change. Wandering<br />
was a necessity to get to foreign places. Today, this<br />
intention has mostly given way to hiking, a purpose-free<br />
pursuit. The counterpart to purpose-bound<br />
wandering so to speak. At least this is how it is defined.<br />
Nowadays, and at least during your holidays,<br />
the "purpose" of hiking is to improve your physical<br />
fitness in order to promote mental and physical wellbeing.<br />
Whether Nordic walking, speed hiking or winter hiking.<br />
Because monotonously trudging uphill can bring<br />
us into a meditative state. Mountain air floods your<br />
lungs and the endurance activity causes your body to<br />
reach a Runner's High*. Ideal conditions for feelings<br />
of happiness high up on the peaks of Saalbach, where<br />
hikers are rewarded with the most beautiful panorama<br />
and views.<br />
*<br />
RUNNER’S HIGH<br />
A term from endurance sports, where athletes<br />
experience an exhilarating feeling of euphoria<br />
after extreme endurance exertions.<br />

SOUL BIKING<br />
Mountain bikes of all kinds are<br />
raced over the trails towards the<br />
destination Saalbach – cranked<br />
uphill in a way that makes you<br />
sweat as well as rolled in a slower<br />
pace along the cycle paths with<br />
pleasure. Saalbach is mountain<br />
biking! Here, everyone who is up<br />
for it has the possibility to experience<br />
a cool breeze on the bike.<br />
The common thread of these<br />
different types of biking is the<br />
joy during and after the ride. Let<br />
your soul relax a little, if you like.<br />
For you forget all the effort once<br />
you see the summit uphill and<br />
once the adrenaline floods your<br />
bloodstream, while you conquer<br />
a carpet of roots or when you cruise<br />
along the extensive network of<br />
cycle paths lost in your thoughts.<br />
It’s a pleasure for your soul.<br />

KOGEL<br />
HOPPING.<br />
FROM THE BERNKOGEL TO THE REITERKOGEL.<br />
This tour recommendation for experienced bikers<br />
shows a vast variety – just like so many other things<br />
in Saalbach. Starting at <strong>eva</strong>,VILLAGE you first take<br />
the Spielbergweg road and enjoy the first metres<br />
uphill to the Spielberghaus. Just before the Freeride<br />
Hotspot, turn left towards the Bernkogel. From now<br />
on you can only hear the quiet buzzing of your chain,<br />
which spirals up man and machine serpentine by<br />
serpentine. With an “E” (bike) it's easier of course,<br />
however, the experience remains the same.<br />
At the Bernkogel, the beautiful Wetterkreuz reservoir<br />
is now visible. Directly behind it, the Wetterkreuz trail<br />
is ready for some experienced bikers. A wonderful<br />
single trail which is very rare in this form. But the<br />
destination is further up ... The destination is the Reiterkogel.<br />
Only steep sections now separate you from<br />
the moment when you’ve conquered the peak.<br />
Moments later, you reach the summit, selfie time<br />
for pure #<strong>eva</strong>moments. Then you let the bike roll towards<br />
the chalet Rosswaldhütte for a stop – the hotspot<br />
for Kaiserschmarrn and the best fried chicken<br />
salad. Enjoy your meal!<br />
Via the Blue Line or at a slower pace via the Forstweg<br />
road back into the valley. You decide! On this tour<br />
you shouldn't be surprised if you spot some familiar<br />
faces from the <strong>eva</strong>,. Daniela for example often uses<br />
this tour to clear her head, on an e-bike – of course.<br />

THE PANORAMA HIDEAWAY<br />
WITH A HEART.<br />
OUR HEART IS THE EVA,GARDEN.<br />
The <strong>eva</strong>,GARDEN is basically the mother of the whole<br />
<strong>eva</strong>, businesses. And just like a mother, the hotel<br />
radiates this cosy warmth. She hugs you and whispers:<br />
“Welcome home!”<br />
The sportiness is also there, so cuddly and active people<br />
will find the perfect hideaway in direct proximity<br />
to the lifts and above the roofs of Saalbach. And you<br />
can snore comfortably in the <strong>eva</strong>,GARDEN too, thanks<br />
to modern bed systems.<br />
On the opposite side, the Schattberg attracts attention,<br />
while you enjoy the garden in summer. Rest your<br />
legs in the summer and put your head in the snow<br />
in the winter to cool down, if the "Get to know each<br />
other"-sauna was a little bit too hot. Only a few metres<br />
separate the connoisseur from the centre and the<br />
<strong>eva</strong>,VILLAGE. In the winter, we like to use a shuttle,<br />
because we want to save your energy for the slopes.<br />

ALWAYS PULSATING.<br />
With live acts and yummy delicacies,<br />
we dance on the <strong>eva</strong>,ALM terrace until the<br />
moon is shining. The ALM SUMMER VIBES<br />
blow some wind of change into<br />
this traditional place every week.<br />
Good times on the <strong>eva</strong>,ALM!<br />
WATCHING PEOPLE.<br />
Observing the surroundings, getting lost in strange<br />
thoughts and reacting to the wide grins of the<br />
passers-by ... Right in the centre of Saalbach,<br />
the busy pedestrian zone provides a slightly different<br />
kind of entertainment. And let's be honest,<br />
we all enjoy this from time to time! ;-)<br />
LET THERE BE BEER.<br />
Tradition, taste and honesty in the village.<br />
The taste of our locally brewed beer reminds you of<br />
the mountains and more. The <strong>eva</strong>,ALM beer<br />
is shimmering golden – the perfect start of<br />
a nice break at the <strong>eva</strong>,ALM.<br />
Cheers!<br />

LOCAL BEEF<br />
BELONGS<br />
ON A<br />
NICE BREAD.<br />
The burgers at <strong>eva</strong>,ALM are particularly tasty. Apart from regional<br />
ingredients, a tasty Vinschgerl – the original bread of the<br />
mountain people – makes the burgers so special. Thanks to its<br />
proximity to Tyrol and South Tyrol, the flat bread roll made from<br />
rye, wheat, sourdough and yeast feels at home in Saalbach as<br />
well and harmonising wonderfully with the Pinzgauer beef and<br />
avocado. Fondue, Almschmaus (alpine feast), Jausnbrettl (wooden<br />
plate with snacks), hot breads, potato goulash, apple strudel<br />
and even more delicacies can be found in the <strong>eva</strong>,ALM, from<br />
high noon until late in the evening. Enjoy your meal!<br />
ALPINE PIT STOP.<br />
The “after” is trickier at the <strong>eva</strong>,ALM.<br />
The “après”, however, is way easier.<br />
The <strong>eva</strong>,ALM is the designated meeting point<br />
after tours and trail-surfing experiences<br />
of the mountain bike community and,<br />
especially in the winter, the place to go for<br />
skiers. 5 o'clock tea or après-ski – just as you<br />
like it. Just a bit more stylish, fresher and heated<br />
all year round. Just #voilässig – pretty cool!<br />
A real good-humoured spot in Saalbach.<br />

THE POWER OF SNOW.<br />
It is not only possible to only see the positive sides,<br />
even if they predominate. In places like Saalbach,<br />
nature has a decisive influence on life. Enormous<br />
and fortunately intact, it has an influence on all of us.<br />
Thanks to the panoramic weather during the winter<br />
months, Saalbach is blessed with lots of snow. A<br />
snow hole, you can hear beyond the borders of the<br />
valley. The snow is up to 3 m deep on the mountains<br />
in February and if these masses start to move uncontrollably,<br />
it has undesirable consequences.<br />
Usually it is the reckless sportsmen who overlook the<br />
warning signs of the crystals in their search for the<br />
best deep snow. Snow crystals, of course. Because<br />
there are numerous methods to check the snow<br />
cover. It consists of different layers of snow, formed<br />
and shaped by the weather. The “floating snow”<br />
reveals itself to be particularly treacherous.<br />
Beaker crystals are formed and behave like a ball bearing<br />
under a heavy layer of snow. Be aware of snow<br />
slabs!<br />
UNSERE WINTER HARD FACTS:<br />
In order to reveal the layers, a shaft is dug in the<br />
snow cover with a shovel. This procedure is called<br />
snow profile. Ideally not under the direct influence<br />
of the sun. Otherwise this could deform the crystals<br />
during the inspection.<br />
Even during the digging you can already recognise<br />
the different layers. When you wipe over the layers<br />
without gloves, you can easily recognise the difference<br />
of the soft and hard snow layers. The hardness<br />
test of the snow cover follows. In the order "fist", "4<br />
fingers", "1 finger", "pencil" and "knife" you have to<br />
try to penetrate the snow layers and thus receive information<br />
about the hardness of the snow cover.<br />
FOR YOUR GUIDANCE:<br />
ICE WOULD BE THE HARDEST FORM OF SNOW. IT<br />
BECOMES DIFFICULT WITH THE KNIFE AS WELL.<br />
STAY SAFE.<br />
Before you start a ski tour or a demanding<br />
powder run, it is essential to check<br />
the avalanche transceiver at the designated<br />
points and information boards at<br />
various mountain stations on the mountain<br />
railways. And don’t forget the "buddy<br />
system"! Never go out on your own<br />
into the mountains!<br />
Have fun!<br />

Geißstein 2.363m<br />
STAR GUEST SNOW.<br />
If you go downhill and have tears of joy in your eyes,<br />
it is usually the same uphill. And – as an exception<br />
– in this case, uphill means without a gondola. The<br />
Pinzgauer Grasberge (grass mountains) are the gentle<br />
and southernmost foothills of the Kitzbüheler Alps<br />
and they are part of the Greywacke zone. The hills are<br />
tame yet strong in character, with differences in altitude<br />
of up to 1,100 m. The Geißstein, with a height<br />
of 2,363 m, is the highest mountain in the Glemmtal<br />
valley. As the final ascent on the Seven Summits hike<br />
in the summer, the summit is reserved for experienced<br />
alpinists only in the winter months. But let’s go<br />
back to the gentle side. The special topography, largely<br />
without high alpine climbing passages, secures<br />
Saalbach's reputation in winter as an absolute insider<br />
tip for ski tourers and free riding fans.<br />
But the mountains aren’t always gentle. Further up,<br />
above the forest line, snow masses often pile up and<br />
are usually directed down to the valley in a controlled<br />
manner. Avalanches.<br />
LO.LA * GAZEX ®<br />
The correct assessment of the avalanche danger is extremely<br />
complex and there are experts needed for this.<br />
That is the reason why LO.LA exists. No, not a beautiful<br />
girl from the alpine pastures, no! LO.LA ... Lokale Lawinenlage<br />
(local avalanche situation)<br />
In the free riding paradise Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang<br />
Fieberbrunn, the system of LO.LA* has been used<br />
for several years. The passionate deep powder snow<br />
lover can easily find out about the avalanche situation<br />
on the official Saalbach website. In addition to the<br />
ground-breaking and easy-to-understand key figures, an<br />
avalanche expert provides additional information and<br />
possible sources of danger.<br />
THE BLASTERS IN THE SNOW.<br />
In the skiing area, you may hear an explosion from<br />
time to time. The avalanche blasters are doing their<br />
job. Their task is to defuse dangerous avalanche slopes<br />
by targeted "blasting".<br />
This is done with various methods. The precipitation<br />
of the previous night is measured daily at the<br />
measuring stations. If this value shows precipitation<br />
amounts of 20–30 cm, then a gas/oxygen mixture is<br />
blown up via fixed GAZEX® cannons.<br />
Basically with air pressure. If there is more precipitation,<br />
the blasters go around the neuralgic areas in a<br />
helicopter and drop the emulsion explosive (lawinit)<br />
in blocks of 2.5 or 5 kg. This special, harmless for nature,<br />
explosive is used to push the snow slabs downhill<br />
in a controlled way.<br />
A partly adventurous endeavour by specially trained<br />
experts who can assess the snow situation from a<br />
distance as well as the blasting technique.<br />

Christmas<br />
Even on Christmas Eve, people meet at<br />
<strong>eva</strong>, – year after year. Christmas is a very<br />
personal affair at <strong>eva</strong>,: for years now <strong>eva</strong>,<br />
has offered a Christmas tree service. You<br />
just choose the size and colours of your<br />
tree for your suite and give your wish list<br />
to our angel at the front desk.<br />
Everyone decides for themselves how to<br />
celebrate: whether in an intimate or quiet<br />
setting in their room or in the <strong>eva</strong>,Lobby<br />
with Santa Claus, Christkind and many delicacies.<br />
On the evening of 25 December<br />
<strong>2018</strong>, there will be the traditional torchlight<br />
hike with Hans, the head of the house.<br />
And quite a few of our Christmas guests<br />
prefer to stay over New Year's Eve and<br />
bring in the New Year with us.<br />
Ha p y New Year!<br />

Time IS PRECIOUS.<br />
It is more precious than gold and you can never possess<br />
it. You can only live and experience it. Preferably<br />
sharing it with other people. Monetary wealth<br />
can be measured in numbers and is yet worth far<br />
less than time.<br />
Experiencing things is intrinsically coupled with time.<br />
Because you need time to live and experience. Preferably<br />
spending it with other people such as family,<br />
friends and the people who make us smile.<br />
People also meet at <strong>eva</strong>,. Make new acquaintances.<br />
And every year, like clockwork, our guests meet at<br />
the same time and place: at <strong>eva</strong>,VILLAGE in Saalbach.<br />
PUT YOUR HAT ON PARTY<br />
On Shrove Tuesday,<br />
when people meet again and again<br />

our guests with the best<br />
ingredients for unforgettable<br />
experiences. This<br />
includes smiling at our<br />
guests as well as the<br />

His most beautiful tour: Saalbacher Trailrun<br />
Focused gaze towards the target, rhythmic breathing.<br />
Gunter runs. Uphill. Because he can and likes<br />
it. In winter he exchanges his trail running shoes for<br />
ski touring boots. Gunter is an institution at <strong>eva</strong>,. He<br />
accompanies and guides guests through the region<br />
in summer and winter, whether on the legendary ski<br />
safaris or in summer on pretty cool hikes and bike<br />
tours.<br />
Gunter is no ordinary sports instructor. He is simply<br />
there for the guests, authentic and sporty.<br />
But he can also do quiet, which is what makes this<br />
whirlwind such a special person. Om Shanti. Gunter<br />
is a yoga teacher. Several times a week, he offers<br />
lessons for everyone willing and takes them into the<br />
mysterious world of meditation, breathing technique<br />
and Asanas. Preferably outdoors and on a quiet alpine<br />
meadow.<br />
Gunther is your guide to holiday happiness.<br />
