The Pension Schattberg is a bit of a dark horse when it comes to accommodations in Saalbach. If you’re looking for a luxury hotel with all whistles and bells then look elsewhere, but if you want great value - with all the essentials - in one of Austria’s most fun resorts then this is a great choice.The Schattberg can be ski-to-door for good skiers, in the right conditions. Otherwise its only a few minutes to and from the Schattberg Xpress on foot and a little further into town – just be aware the walk back to the pension is a little bit uphill, so make sure you do your lunges before you set off.The Hofmann family have created a nice, warm and homely atmosphere here. Overall the Schattberg is simply furnished and the rooms have a fairly typical Alpine feel to them, but there are a few nice touches dotted about that keep it feeling fresh.And as a bonus there’s a small wellness area with a sauna and steam room for re-energising after a good ski.

All rooms have a TV and hairdryer.Twin room - sleeps 2: Austrian twin beds, private shower and WC.Austrian twin bedsAustrian twin beds are very common in Central Europe. They’re simply one large bed frame containing two single mattresses, both with separate duvets and linen sets, that cannot be separated. Separate twin beds are less common and can often be head to head beds, rather than side by side, if they are available.
