Alpbach, Austria

From scenic tree-lined slopes to its welcoming atmosphere, Alpbach caters to skiers and snowboarders of all levels.

Skiing in Alpbach

Beginners: Alpbach’s central nursery slopes and the gentle blue runs at the top of the Wiedersbergerhorn gondola make it a fantastic starting point for new skiers. Austria’s oldest ski school ensures learners get expert guidance, while nearby Gmahkopf offers easy slopes with stunning summit views.

Intermediates: Intermediates will revel in the variety of red runs scattered across Schatzberg and Wiedersbergerhorn. The standout experience is the long, rolling 7 km/4.3 mi piste to Auffach, which combines breathtaking scenery with a satisfying descent.

Advanced: While Alpbach’s local slopes lean towards mellow terrain, advanced skiers can venture to the steep black pistes at Lanerköpfl in nearby Niederau, included on the Ski Juwel lift pass.

Snowboarding: Smooth, wide pistes provide an excellent carving experience, while the Böglalm snow park is ideal for freestyle enthusiasts looking to perfect their tricks.

Families

Alpbach is among Austria’s top family ski resorts. The Frosty’s Snow World kindergarten at the top of the Wiedersbergerhorn gondola ensures little ones enjoy a fun and safe environment, with trained nannies on hand. Off the slopes, family activities like horse-drawn carriage rides and the thrilling Lauser Sauser alpine coaster add to the appeal.

Activities

Snow activities: Snowshoeing, tobogganing, cross-country skiing, winter hiking, ice skating, skiing, snowboarding, and the Lauser Sauser alpine coaster.

Non-skiing activities: Horse-drawn sleigh rides, wellness and spa experiences, and cultural walking tours through the picturesque village.

Alpbach restaurants

Alpbach's culinary scene is a celebration of Tyrolean flavours. Gasthof Wiedersbergerhorn is a must-visit for traditional regional dishes like fondue, while the rustic Böglalm serves mulled wine and spit-roast chicken with alpine views. For variety, Reblaus offers Mediterranean options in a friendly, affordable setting. Mountain restaurants like Almhof provide hearty meals, perfect after a day on the slopes.

Alpbach après-ski

While Alpbach’s après-ski scene is laid-back, spots like Joe's Salett’l and Umbrella Six offer a lively atmosphere for those seeking a post-ski drink or two. Families and couples can also enjoy the village’s quieter, cosy taverns for a more relaxed evening.
