After joining some streams and the wild water of the Voglalpgraben, it flows as Saalbach through the Hinterglemm (Hinterglemmtal) , from where several summer and winter routes lead up north to the Saalachtaler Höhenweg and south to the Pinzgauer Höhenweg . At the confluence of the Schwarzachengraben there are some scattered settlements and the Karl-Renner-Haus der Naturfreunde on the southern valley floor .
The valley widens a few kilometers down the valley and you come to the well-known ski area Saalbach-Hinterglemm and the village of Saalbach, from where the Saalbach is called 'Saalach' and the valley Vorderglemmtal . Here the Spielbergbach flows from the north and several summer mountain hiking trails also start here, u. a. on the Schattberg . Now the valley runs relatively straight to the east for 15 km.
The valley ends at Maishofen north of Lake Zell , the Saalach turns to the north, the valley widens to a width of several kilometers and then forms the Saalfelden basin around the town of Saalfelden .
