The village of Alpbach is one of Austria’s prettiest, with its narrow streets and wooden chalets adding a lot of charm to the resort.
It is however a short bus ride from the lifts so you may wish to stay a little up the valley at Inneralpbach.Linked since 2012 to the slopes of Auffach by a two-stage gondola, Alpbach is now home to 109km of slopes and ski routes and sits at the heart of the Ski Juwel region.
Most of these are rated blue and red, making this an intermediate’s paradise. However, there are also some great learning facilities and an excellent ski school with a longstanding reputation of teaching British skiers. An excellent ski bus service also links the resort to small areas of pistes at Reith (which are floodlit for night skiing) and Niederau.

AdvancedPros and cons
- Beautiful village that is a great base for families
- Good intermediate cruising and variety in the ski area
- Strong lift system with many fast chairs and gondolas
- Snow can suffer due to the low altitude
- Most accommodation requires a bus ride to the lifts – or you can hire a car and drive
- Little to entertain advanced and expert skiers and boarders
On the Slopes
Although Alpbach is home to a small beginner zone and a draglift, you’ll need to head to Inneralpbach or up to the Gmahkopf for the best beginner facilities.
These are excellent however, and there are several funslopes and kids runs to keep younger ones entertained. The rest of the linked ski area – on both sides of the Alpbachtal – are then suited best to intermediates and in good snow conditions, vertical descents of over 1000m are possible.
The small ski area further down the valley at Reith is served only by a gondola and a couple of drags, but its night skiing is a great attraction and is worth doing during your stay.
More advanced skiers and boarders should head across to Auffach and then catch the skibus to Niederau, where the best black runs and tree-skiing are located. If the snow is good, the steep descents down from the Lanerköpfel are a blast when freshly groomed or in powder conditions.
In the Resort
The historic centre, narrow streets, wooden chalets and beautiful tree-lined setting make Alpbach one of the prettiest resort towns in the Alps, let alone Austria. There are lots of family-run hotels and B&Bs offering traditional Austrian accommodation, but just be aware that you’ll need to catch a bus or drive to the lift base at Inneralpbach.
Off the slopes there is an excellent network of cross-country trails and winter walking routes through the valley. Up on the hill there are some very good mountain restaurants serving local specialities and considering it is a family friendly resort, some lively après ski spots at the foot of the lifts in Inneralpbach.
Getting to Alpbach
Getting here from Innsbruck is incredibly easy – the drive only takes an hour and you can also get the train to Brixlegg and then catch the bus up to the resort. Salzburg and Munich offer good alternatives – both are a two hour drive away from Alpbach.
- Innsbruck airport: 1 hour (driving) or 2 hours (public transport)
- Salzburg airport: 2 hours (driving)
- Munich airport: 2 hours (driving)
- Calais: approximately 13 hours driving (685 miles)

Austria
Updated 02/05
The weekend starts mild across the region, with the freezing line ticking up to 4,000m. This sits under a layer of cloud cover, which will bring with it precipitation; this will fall as snow in many areas, as the freezing line drops from this peak as low as 1,500m over the course of the weekend.
Western areas will see around 12cm of snow, with easterly and southern areas seeing perhaps a foot on Monday along, with another 10cm before and after. This will remain across higher ground, as the freezing line doesn’t dip below 2,000m during this snowy period.
Unsettled conditions continue over the course of this week, with more snow on the way in parts.
Thus concludes our snow overviews for the 2024/25 season; thank you to everyone who has tuned in, and we look forward to seeing you again next season!
