More about Alpbach
The Resort
As part of the Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau ski area, Alpbach offers access to 113km of linked pistes. The skiing is predominantly suited to beginners and intermediates, with wide, sweeping red runs dominating the Wiedersberger Horn and Schatzberg mountains. The state-of-the-art lift system seamlessly connects the Alpbachtal and Wildschönau valleys, providing plenty of variety for a week-long stay.
Beyond the slopes, Alpbach exudes a tranquil and romantic atmosphere. It is free from the rowdy après-ski scenes found in larger Austrian resorts, focusing instead on cozy mountain huts, excellent local gastronomy, and peaceful winter walking trails. It is an ideal retreat for families, couples, and intermediate cruisers.
On the Mountain
The Ski Juwel domain offers a fantastic mix of sweeping, tree-lined red runs and gentle, wide beginner bowls. While expert terrain is limited, the resort provides excellent cruising grounds for intermediates and beautifully dedicated nursery slopes for those just learning to ski.
