Where to stay in Alpbach — pick the right hotel, book in 3 clicks
Alpbach is a mountain village in the Tyrol that has been named 'the most beautiful village in Austria' and 'the most beautiful floral village in Europe.' Its charm lies in the dark-brown Tyrolean timber houses that blend into a single, unified whole, every one decked with bright geraniums on its balconies and window ledges in summer. Set in the Alpbachtal valley at around 1,000 metres, it's a base for hiking, riding the Wiedersbergerhorn cable car, and skiing in winter.
