So what's it like?
An idyllic resort with tree-lined pistes and charming chalets
The Alpbach and Niederau ski areas have been linked creating a combined amount of 145km of piste. The Ski Jewel area is now one of the largest in the Tirol and has perfect slopes for beginners and intermediates alike. There is also a good number of black runs and some off piste to keep the more advanced skiers happy. This superb area is covered on one lift pass and all ski buses are included.
Alpbach is one of Austria's most picturesque villages - a true winter wonderland. The sweeping ski slopes of the Alpbach area are amongst the most attractive in the Alps and you can enjoy relaxed après ski and a friendly atmosphere in the charming village centre.Ski information
