Ski holidays in Alpbachtal

Ski holidays in Alpbachtal. Ski Holidays in Austria could not be much better than the stunning Austrian Ski resort of Alpbach. The skiing is mainly based on the imposing Wiedersberger Horn mountain. This impressive wooded mountain is serviced mainly by a gondola lift that is situated at Achenwirt, only a short four minute bus ride out of the village. For a more open experience on your last minute skiing holiday in Austria, Alpbach offers you a double chair lift up to the slopes from Inneralbach, availing of the stunning views of the surrounding areas. Because the mountain has lush grassy slopes in the summer time, skiers in Alpbach are able to ski early and late in the season without worrying about concealed rocks.
In terms of runs, Alpbach has a lot to offer all levels of abilities on your cheap Ski Holiday in Austria. At the altitude of Alpbach's village there are three gentle nursery slopes, separate from the main pistes. If there is inadequate snow at that level there is still a nursery slope at the top of the Wiedersberger Horn mountain from which to enjoy the stunning views. There is plenty to do for intermediate skiers to do on their last minute ski holiday in Alpbach. On the mountain there are long sweeping reds cutting through the magnificent trees, all the way from the top to the very bottom of this stunning mountain. One of the favourite routes in Alpbach is the amazingly long and pleasantly challenging Gmahkopf, which runs from the very top at the gondola station, right down to Inneralpbach where you can get the chairlift back up.
In terms of black runs, expert skiers can choose between two excellent black runs on their cheap Ski Holiday in Austria in Alpbach. There is also a whole host of good off-piste powder skiing when there is freshly fallen snow. Alpbach also has the benefit of participating in the fantastic Kitzbüheler Alpen Ski Pass. This gives skiers access to a staggering 680 km of perfectly manicured runs and over 260 lifts. The Kitzbüheler Alpen Ski Pass really makes Alpbach an ideal location for a ski holiday. Another fun event is the guest ski race which takes place every Friday afternoon, with the chance to win prizes that are presented in the evening.
