Enjoy the rustic charm and relaxed atmosphere at the cosy Hotel Alphof. It's in an elevated position overlooking Alpbach and exploring is easy - the village centre and walkers’ bus stop are around 500 metres away.

Cosy rooms and hearty meals

The bedrooms are spacious and traditionally furnished, with everything you need for a comfortable stay - choose a room with a balcony to make the most of the views.

Generous breakfasts and delicious dinners are part of the Half Board package, and the typically Austrian menu celebrates seasonal and local produce - the wine list has a perfect match for any meal.

A rooftop terrace with 360° views

With so much exploring to do, you'll have earned a little time out. The sunny rooftop terrace is perfect for a quiet hour with a good book or enjoying the impressive views with a drink. The hotel has a wellness area with a sauna, infrared cabin, steam bath, and an indoor swimming pool too. For ultimate relaxation, we recommend heading to the 'lazy room' which has hanging loungers and waterbeds.

Alpbach

  • Wander through the rustic, 'chocolate-box' village
  • Walk some of the best trails in the Kitzbühel Alps
  • Tuck into a delicious feast in a traditional mountain hut

Summer holidays in Alpbach are surrounded by meadows and forests and set against the Gratlspitz peaks - it's a village from the pages of a fairy tale. Wooden houses with flower-filled balconies decorate peaceful streets, while many of the surrounding farms have been run by the same families for centuries. This makes it one of the best places for digging into mountain food – just the fuel you need for hiking. Gondolas glide up to mountain tracks, footpaths meander along meadows and valleys, and three gorges line up some seriously dramatic vistas.

Walking in Alpbach

There are around 900 kilometres of marked paths around Alpbach – and the Wiedersbergerhorn gondola is a great introduction to them. It whisks walkers up to the highest slopes above Alpbach, where some of the most beautiful hikes in the Kitzbühel Alps unroll. For more of a challenge, clamber to one of the three peaks of Gratlspitze mountain for views into the valley far below. There are also plenty of wanders between the villages, farmsteads and serene chapels along the valley floor. Not sure where to begin? Join a guided walk from the tourist office.

Discover Alpbach

Many of the houses, shops and cafés in Alpbach haven’t changed since the first log was laid. They all showcase a distinct woodcarving technique that shapes everything from gables and altars to the furniture in hotels and restaurants. However, one building has broken the mould. The Congress Centre - which hosts the annual scientific and political European Forum Alpbach - blends into the mountainside like a glass Hobbit house.

Architecture isn’t the only thing special about Alpbach. Alpbachtal Hüttenjause food platters lay out Tyrolean specialities such as mountain sausages and hay-milk cheese (tastier than it sounds). Most ingredients are plucked from the farms of the Alpbach Valley, some of which have been in the same family for over 300 years. Go to the Alpine Farmers’ Museum, about a 20-minute bus ride away, to see how people lived in centuries past.

Family holidays in Alpbach: mountain coasters and enchanted forests

Alpbach is a paradise for young children and makes a great spot for an active family holiday - the Wiedersbergerhorn lift is the gateway to Lauserland – a mountain playground with an alpine rollercoaster, panoramic towers and rope courses. Further along the Alpbach Valley, another lift goes from Reith im Alpbachtal to the tree swings and wobbly bridges of Juppi’s Enchanted Forest. Reith is also the spot for swimming in the village’s picturesque lake.

Gorge hikes and exploring on bikes

There are three gorge walks within easy reach of Alpbach. A 1.5-hour ramble along Tiefenbach Gorge winds past a turquoise river and otherworldly rock formations, the speedy waters of the Kaiser Gorge are a favourite with white-water rafters and experienced kayakers, and the Kundl Gorge lays out an easy path along one of the most dramatic canyons in Austria. 

Cyclists are in their element in Alpbach too, with routes including forest tracks, high-altitude paths between mountain huts and quiet mountain roads.
