Alpbach
A small village in a mountain valley, often called Austria's most beautiful village, with dark wooden houses whose balconies overflow with flowers and high alpine pastures all around.
Alpbach lies in the Alpbach Valley, about 50 km northeast of Innsbruck. The village's traditional Tyrolean houses are built in dark wood, and in summer their balconies are draped with red geraniums. The church steeple and distant mountains create a classic scene. Alpbach has been named Austria's most beautiful village. In summer, take the cable car up the mountain for hiking, or walk the Philosophers' Path. In winter, the village belongs to the Alpbach Valley–Wildschönau ski area. The European Forum Alpbach is held here every August. The drive takes about 50 minutes. By public transport, take the train to Brixlegg and then a bus. It can be combined with a visit to Rattenberg.
