The Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn is considered a true freeride mecca. Countless off-piste skiing options combine with the breathtaking backdrop of the surrounding mountains. Faces, lines and untracked powder - that's freeriding at the Home of Lässig!

Freeride World Tour
The Freeride World Tour (FWT) will also make a stop in Fieberbrunn in winter 2022/23. The freeride mecca Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn hosts the tour's only stop in the German-speaking region. Since 2011, the steep and rocky north slope of the Wildseeloder has been a fixture on the FWT calendar, and it is here that the preliminary decision in the fight for the World Cup titles will be made. The world's best freeriders have to climb around 40 minutes to the summit of the Wildseeloder before they plunge into the 620-metre slope from the start at 2,118 metres. There they overcome a slope gradient of up to 70 degrees. Those who want to stay in the title fight have to overcome this slope. In addition to the legendary competitions, visitors can expect an extensive supporting program throughout the week.
