Family fun at the Thurnerhof – the perfect location for unforgettable holidays

The Thurnerhof is located in Saalbach, nestling in a wonderfully snowy landscape, with views to the surrounding mountains. Perfect for enjoying a tranquil and relaxing holiday. In spite of that, the routes are short, so you can get to the most popular cable cars and the centre of town easily on foot, or on the morning hotel shuttle service. When snow conditions are good, head back via the hotel’s own ski route which leads you right to the hotel doorstep. Fantastic – relaxing – pleasure-filled. Just as it ought to be. Even from the first day of the ski season.
