Alpbach - Après-ski

Despite its modest scale, Alpbach has a reputation for quite a lively après-ski scene, centred on several 'must visit' venues such as the Postalm, (tel: (0699) 12755 926), Waschkuchl Pub, Nr. 169a (tel: (0650) 5918335) and the Irish Pub in the Jakober Inn. These are all well-known venues to relax after a full day of skiing.
