Worth Visiting – Hinterthal, Austria.

Hinterthal has a good selection of restaurants and bars and there is a bank with cash dispensers at the foot of the village. The ski hire shop opposite Haus Salzburg sells basic groceries. The ‘Umbrella Bar’ at the bottom of the black run on the base of the village is always a good place to stop and meet friends after a good days skiing and the last run down the Hochmais black piste. Very lively, with a smattering of Oomph music here and there for the Austrian touch.

Most hotels also have friendly and welcoming bars and restaurants to fall into at the end of a long day.

• Amelia’s Corner is an ultra modern bar/restaurant with a varied menu to cater for all tastes.
• The legendary ‘Alm Bar’ is situated in the centre of the village at the foot of the nursery slope- by far the liveliest place to be in Hinterthal if you fancy good knees up, with bands playing regularly and music into the early hours.

You can buy your lift pass at Sportmayer shop and ski school in the centre of the village, or at the Hochmaisbahn station at the bottom of the Hochmais lift.
