Alpbach combines traditional alpine charm with one of Austria's best skiing regions, the Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau. From scenic tree-lined slopes to its welcoming atmosphere, this resort caters to skiers and snowboarders of all levels.
Beginners: Alpbach’s central nursery slopes and the gentle blue runs at the top of the Wiedersbergerhorn gondola make it a fantastic starting point for new skiers. Austria’s oldest ski school ensures learners get expert guidance, while nearby Gmahkopf offers easy slopes with stunning summit views.
Intermediates: Intermediates will revel in the variety of red runs scattered across Schatzberg and Wiedersbergerhorn. The standout experience is the long, rolling 7km piste to Auffach, which combines breathtaking scenery with a satisfying descent.
Advanced: While Alpbach’s local slopes lean towards mellow terrain, advanced skiers can venture to the steep black pistes at Lanerköpfl in nearby Niederau, included on the Ski Juwel lift pass.
Snowboarding: Smooth, wide pistes provide an excellent carving experience, while the Böglalm snow park is ideal for freestyle enthusiasts looking to perfect their tricks.
Alpbach is among Austria’s top family ski resorts. The Frosty’s Snow World kindergarten at the top of the Wiedersbergerhorn gondola ensures little ones enjoy a fun and safe environment, with trained nannies on hand. Off the slopes, family activities like horse-drawn carriage rides and the thrilling Lauser Sauser alpine coaster add to the appeal.
Snow activities: snowshoeing, tobogganing, cross-country skiing, winter hiking, ice skating, skiing, snowboarding, and the Lauser Sauser alpine coaster..
Non-skiing activities: horse-drawn sleigh rides, wellness and spa experiences, and cultural walking tours through the picturesque village.
While Alpbach’s après-ski scene is laid-back, spots like Joe's Salett’l and Umbrella Six offer a lively atmosphere for those seeking a post-ski drink or two. Families and couples can also enjoy the village’s quieter, cosy taverns for a more relaxed evening.
Alpbach's culinary scene is a celebration of Tyrolean flavours. Gasthof Wiedersbergerhorn is a must-visit for traditional regional dishes like fondue, while the rustic Böglalm serves mulled wine and spit-roast chicken with alpine views. For variety, Reblaus offers Mediterranean options in a friendly, affordable setting. Mountain restaurants like Almhof provide hearty meals, perfect after a day on the slopes.

4.9/5I usually book flights, transfers, hotel, ski rental and lift passes myself but this year used WeSki for a trip to Morzine. It was so much easier. Everything worked perfectly - transfers arrived on time and there was plenty of feedback throughout the whole process giving you confidence the holiday would go smoothly.
A really useful service that is so much easier to use than other ‘all-inclusive’ sites. It nicely bridges the gap between a travel agent and booking the trip yourself online. I will use WeSki every time I go skiing from now on.
We booked a late minute skiing trip to Morzine through we ski. We looked at booking the trip ourselves but could get anywhere near the price quoted by we ski. The company was excellent and we had no problems at all from start to finish. I would definitely use them to book another weekend skiing trip.
Seamless experience from start to finish. I was spending ages trying to sort out a weekend break and managed to do it with we ski in minutes and for the same price as booking it all up yourself. Flight, transfer and accommodation was all as expected and faultless.
