About Alpbach
Alpbach has been voted Austria's most beautiful village multiple times, its uniformly traditional Tyrolean chalets and flower-decked balconies creating a postcard aesthetic that is genuinely rather than artificially preserved. The 109km SkiJuwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau ski area — shared with the neighbouring Wildschönau valley — suits confident beginners and early intermediates, with wide open groomed runs and a relaxed atmosphere more interested in mountain lunches than lift-to-lift efficiency. Just 45 minutes from Innsbruck airport, it offers one of the easiest transfers in Austrian skiing, and the understated charm of the village makes it an excellent choice for first-time visitors to the Alps.
