Alpbach

The location

Alpbach is a small town that sits among the Tyrolean Mountains, just 120km from Salzburg Airport.

The resort

Considered one of Austria’s most beautiful villages, this scenic ski resort is a beginner’s playground. Numerous easy runs and a relaxed, friendly nature create the perfect atmosphere to learn skiing. Plus, it has some highly rated mountain restaurants and homely log cabins.

A skiing Juwel

Alpbach is part of the recently formed Ski Juwel area, offering 145km of piste shared with the neighbouring resort, Wildschönau. It’s very well connected by a modern gondola lift system, so you can easily try out multiple runs. There are several snow cannons set up to keep the pistes powdery throughout the ski season.

Options in Alpbach

There’s a good choice of skiing for all abilities in Alpbach. Wildschönau is the gentler side as it has a selection of nursery slopes and snow parks. On the other hand, Weidersbergerhorn is the place for more challenging black runs.

Chocolate box centre

The idyllic centre of town is all low-rise log cabins and pine trees – a picture-perfect beauty. Despite its scenic and sedate nature by day, there are still enough bars open by night for atmospheric après-ski.

The highlights

• Take your pick from red runs with beautiful backdrops.
• Check out the Water World indoor waterpark when you’re off the slopes.
• Enjoy authentic Austrian fare at the mountain hut restaurants.
