Alpbach has won prizes as the prettiest village in the Tyrol, and that is not surprising. This small village with just over 2000 inhabitants was very cut off from the outside world until about one hundred years ago and so its architecture and general atmosphere is still fairly unspoilt. If you rent an Alpbach serviced apartment for a holiday in the skiing season you will find that the tourists will outnumber the residents ten to one, but somehow the place still seems quiet and off the beaten track.

Its position on a plateau at nearly a thousand feet above sea level gives Alpbach a pleasant climate. Although cold, it is usually sunny and has plenty for non-skiers to do, even in winter. Booking an Alpbach holiday rental for a group of mixed ability is not a problem. For the beginners there are nursery slopes and if even that seems a little steep, there are designated cross country trails, which many prefer even if they are accomplished at downhill.

Keen walkers don’t have to wait until spring to book their Alpbach holiday let as there are cleared hiking trails all through the year. An Alpbach short stay apartment would be a good choice as there are trails linking to other villages, so you could use the rental as a stop off for a back packing break. For the less adventurous, there are guided walks bookable at Tourist Information.

The church of St Oswald is an interesting building to visit, especially for any English or Scots renting an Alpbach service apartment or aparthotel. The saint was a Northumbrian king beatified at the request of Gaelic monks who travelled to Austria in the Dark Ages and is remembered by the building of this lovely little church. All of the buildings in Alpbach are in the same style and this gives the village much of its chocolate box appeal. In spring and summer every balcony is hung with flowers, which glow against the wooden facades and in winter their snow covered roofs are like a fairy tale.

When renting an Alpbach holiday rental you will find that nothing has been forgotten to give you a memorable time. There are cable cars, cleared paths, off piste and walks at all difficulties from level across the plateau to seriously challenging. Winter gives you perfect snow, spring brings the mountainside in bloom – all in all, a magical setting.
