Alpbach - Resort information

Alpbach
Resort elevation:
974m
Top elevation:
2025m
Base elevation:
816m
Beyond the slopes: 

Alpbach has a sizable list of off-slope activities, adding to the winter holiday atmosphere here. Staying on the snow, you can enjoy tobogganing, sleigh rides, a snowshoe excursion or step out on any of the 50km (31 miles) of snow-cleared winter hiking paths. There are also cross-country ski trails at neighbouring Inneralpbach and you can try paragliding above the slopes with a tandem flight. Indoor options include a swimming pool, bowling and organised activities such as traditional Tyrolean evenings and film nights.

Family fun: 

Alpbach is a lovely location for a family holiday in a relaxed and beautiful environment. The Kids Centre located below the top station of the gondola will look after children aged two to four from 1000 to 1500 daily, and after that there are special ski kindergarten classes for four to six year olds. Children don't pay for lift tickets until age seven and then receive a 50% discount until age 16 - some of the best family pricing in the Alps. Accommodation and dining in the village itself is equally family friendly.

Retail therapy: 

Alpbach has a small selection of village shops, but all your holiday needs are met and it's pleasant to be able to stroll around the local butchers, grocers and bakery. There's a small supermarket, a photographers’, sweet shop, chemist and of course several ski shops. For big city shopping, Innsbruck is less than an hour away.

Splashing out: 

The Romantik Hotel Böglerhof (tel: (05336) 5227; www.boeglerhof.at) has a spa with excellent facilities and a huge range of treatments available for women. Men are not left out however, and the 'Just for Men' special is a two-and-a-half hour package including an aromatherapy facial massage, a hydrobath with a bubbling massage, a relaxing neck and back massage and a manicure including hand scrub.
