Picture-postcard Tyrolean village with extended ski area

Ski Alpbach! This delightful, award-winning, quintessentially traditional Austrian village with its gothic spired church, narrow streets, and minimal traffic is one of the most attractive villages in the Austrian Tyrol. Its traditional wooden farmhouses are set against the backdrop of the Gratlspitz peaks. The resort has won awards for being “Austria’s most beautiful village”, and having the “purest air” in the country, a gondola links Inneralpbach with the Wildschönau ski area, giving beginners and intermediates an even wider selection of runs to choose from. Non-skiers can enjoy a variety of activities and in the evenings horse-drawn sleigh rides to the Rossmoos Inn for a mulled wine are great fun. All guests receive the ‘Alpbach Seenland Card’ which gives either free participation or reductions on activities such as snowshoeing, guided cross-country skiing, ice-skating and torchlit walks.

In Alpbach you'll have one of our reps's in resort who will know the local area and can assist you with any queries.
