Alpbach was awardred the ‘white oscar’. This award in the gold category is conferred by The Good Skiing and Snowboarding Guide’ for the best small resort of the year in Europe. Maybe small, but Alpbach sure makes up for it. Powder snow and fabulous firn on 45 km ski runs and undiluted ski and snowboard fun await you.

Harmony, security, beauty and cultural identity play an all important part in Alpbach. Alpbachers have stuck to building regulations implemented in 1953 and you can see and feel the prevalent harmony with ALL building in the tradtional tyrolean style.

The Austrian Alps / Salzburgerland / Tyrol/Tirol region

Sunny slopes and breathtaking panoramas in the Alpbachtal skiing region. 20 modern lifts that give access to over 50km of pistes throughout the region. Typical mountain huts, traditional restaurants and ski bars entice you to take timeout. Beginners of all ages are well catered for by the 4 ski schools. Cross country trails lead the ski`ar through a magical winters landscape. Least taxing winter recreation is walking, about 200km of cleared marked paths available. The new trend is snow shoe walking. For tobogganing fans the region offers exciting runs. A horse drawn sleigh ride is the ultimate romantic experience.


Alpbach Valley and the Tiroler Lake District lies in the midst of impressive mountain scenery between the Kitzbüler Alps and the Rofan Range, 1000m above sea level. With its romantic landscape and attractive skiing and snowboarding facilities, this Tirolean village is a genuine winters fairy tale. In Spring, Summer and Autumn experience the magic of the mountains with extensive hiking, mountain biking, and inviting natural bathing lakes.

Also paragliding in Kramsach, about 20 mins away. All year round skiing and snowboarding at the glacier in Hintertux, about an hour away. Horse riding in Kramsach, about 15 mins. Hot air ballooning in St Johann, about 45 mins. Numerous water parks and adventure play grounds and parks 20 mins. One of my favourite things is flower picking in the lush meadows. A large concrete skate park 'The Cradle' in Brixlegg 15 mins away that is another beauty. One of the best in Europe. Big smooth hips, spines, and corners will let you fly. This park also features the worlds first 'cradle'. It's a capsule that's over vert at the end of a bowl.

Mountains and nature combine to form the centre of an enjoyable holiday. Over 900km of well marked walking and hiking paths await the mountain lover.

Guestbook

We spent our Easter break returning to our favourite haunt of Alpbach, Austria, to catch the last of the skiing season. The pistes have been kept in excellent condition. We stayed at Haus Hislop, a four apartment house in Inneralpbach, run by Claire Hislop. Beautifully maintained and decorated, and easy access to the slopes (its a bus ride if you stay in Alpbach itself) the best restaurant in the region 'The Zirmalm' is two minutes walk away, the ski instructors take their groups there for lunch its that good. We will definitely be returning, its the only reason I can get to work on a Monday morning is the thought that its one week closer to our return. Julia & Brian - Coventry

A group of families with small kids stayed at Haus Hislop in March 2007 and the accommodation was very clean and worked really well with the kids. Two of the apartments have a shared deck which is lovely. Claire is very friendly and is well known in Inner Alpbach. She arranged for us to eat at the Zirmalm restaurant which is 1 minutes walk away and offered superb value meals. I loved the fact that you could arrange to leave your ski gear at the gondola station which was about 5-6 minutes walk away. We will visit again and we had a great holiday. Alison-Yorkshire

I visited Haus Hislop over Easter 2007, Haus Hislop is a self catering apartment house with 4 one bedroom apartments to choose from. It has been built and furbished to a very high standard. Claire Hislop the owner is very friendly and accommodating to her guests.Alpbach is very beautiful and unspoilt, the locals are very friendly and it has good skiing facilities. There are many good restaurants and bars. Hannah-Keighley.
