Alpbach Ski Holidays

Cheap family skiing holidays in Alpbach, Austria, provide an opportunity for tourists to spend a week (or even two) at an award-winning, traditional ski resort in the panoramic Austrian Alps, but without breaking the bank. As a small working mountain village with a population of just 2,500, as well as skiing and snowboarding options, Alpbach has historic inns, quaint shops, quiet streets, charming family-friendly restaurants, lodges, farmhouses, and even a 15^th Century church. And it is not only families who can have a good time on a cheap Alpbach skiing holiday; individual travellers, couples and groups can also find low-cost skiing holidays in Alpbach, with all-inclusive package ski holidays at Alpbach offering staggering value for money.

For beginner skiers and intermediate skiers, Alpbach has suitable nursery slopes and challenging terrain; the resort is not one advanced skiers and expert skiers should really head for, unless they simply want to take pleasure in some leisurely skiing in the Tyrol during the day, and then enjoy traditional and cosy après-ski in the evening with family, friends and locals. (Alpbach does have a couple of black runs and some off-piste for advanced skiers, but overall the resort has a more beginner/intermediate skier feel).

Alpbach has recently had the honour of winning both the ‘Austria’s Prettiest Village Award’ (something that is much coveted in the country), as well as the ‘Europe’s Loveliest Floral Village Award’. But don’t worry that Alpbach is all beautiful flowers, oak beamed inns and perfectly-groomed nursery slopes - and cannot offer much for adrenaline junkies such as skiers and snowboarders who like to get ‘winter holiday active’ - far from it.

As well as enjoying all the traditional Alpine charm that Alpbach possesses, you can also take pleasure in an exciting range of winter sports, with skiing and snowboarding only scratching the surface of the selection of outdoor activities on offer. Tobogganing, ice skating, curling, and night skiing (torch-lit descents) can all be added to your list of winter sports to try at Alpbach. And if it is a cheap family skiing holiday in Alpbach that you have in mind for this year, don’t go there without taking the kids on one of the sleigh rides through the village (always a big hit with the little ones).

Whatever your skiing ability, if the real Tyrol is what you seek during your cheap skiing holiday in Austria this year, then Alpbach is definitely a ski resort to consider; its spectacularly scenic setting and unspoilt mountain atmosphere makes it a ski resort that so many skiers return to year after year, for their annual dose of genuine Austrian Alps authenticity.
