With uninterrupted views of the stunning Alpbach valley from its south-facing gardens, Hotel Alpbacherhof is one of Alpbach’s leading hotels. The hospitable Margreiter family ensure high standards of personal service and a warm welcome.

Central location with walking trails on your doorstep

Just two minutes from the village centre, the hotel has easy access to a number of lower-altitude walking trails and is just a short bus ride from the nearby bus stop to the Wiedersbergerhorn gondola.

Free yoga classes and a luxurious spa

The wellness facilities at the Alpbacherhof are really something special, you can take a refreshing dip in the interconnected indoor and outdoor pools and the beautiful garden is the perfect place to enjoy the fresh Alpine air. The spa area is a huge 1,600m² and has a variety of herbal and Finnish saunas, steam baths, and relaxation rooms - be sure to check out the adults-only zone.

There's an excellent fitness centre and yoga room too, and free yoga classes twice per week.

Rooms are cosy and contemporary with lovely wood furnishings and a balcony to enjoy the sunshine, and the stylish restaurant has fantastic views of the surrounding mountains - on sunny days you can enjoy an al fresco breakfast on the terrace.

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.
