Alpbach

Alpbach is regarded as one of the truly classic ski resorts within Austria and with good reason – offering oodles of tradition and character at every turn.

Easily accessible thanks to the short transfer time from Innsbruck, the alpine village not only offers a varied mix of skiing for all abilities, but also acts as the gateway to the many delights of the surrounding area – including the castles of Brixlegg and the medieval town of Rattenburg.

Part of the Ski Jewel ski area, Alpach is linked by gondola to the popular resorts of Niederau and Oberau, which means it’s ideal for those who want to enjoy a multi-resort trip in the snow.

Once named the ‘Most Beautiful Village in Austria’, Alpach is one of those resorts that you’ll want to visit again and again, with the local hospitality and the picture postcard views combining helping to create an first class skiing experience.

On piste, there is skiing for all abilities, with beginners and intermediate level skiers being particularly well catered for.

A true jewel in the crown when it comes to alpine skiing, Alpbach is a resort where a fun filled winter break is guaranteed.
