Generally regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in Austria surrounded by meadows and forests and is set against a beautiful backdrop of the Gratspitz peaks. It has over 1000 beds in 10 hotels, pensions, B&B's and Inns.
Alpbach has 160 km of well-maintained hiking routes that offers some breathtaking views of the Alpbach valley. Alpbach first opened its doors to tourism in the 1930s not long after the first road opened, joining the village to the outside world. It is a friendly, compact resort made up of centuries-old, traditionally built, dark-timber houses which straggle up the valley sides for around ¾ ml beyond the main road. The roads around the village are generally steep, winding and often narrow, with the main through road only just wide enough for a bus. Most of the shops and entertainment are situated at the village centre, clustered around the elegantly spired church. The centre is a restricted parking zone. Alpbach is located in the W of Austria, in E-central Tyrol. 30 mls NE of Innsbruck. 85 mls SW of Salzburg and its airport. 130 mls SE of Munich (Germany) and its airport. Alpbach is positioned on a S-facing shelf at the end of the quiet Alpbach Valley, just 6 mls off the Inn Valley motorway. |
