Alpbach

Why look so far away, when the best is so close-by? Our Alpbach!

Numerous interesting and beautiful destinations occupy the surroundings of the Alpbacherhof Hotel. To discover an impressive locale, you need look no further than the village itself. After all, you are on holiday in the village which was selected as the "most beautiful village in Austria" by the TV competition on ORF - due to the preserved, unified wooden building style and the marvellous flower display all around.

Alpbach is the only village in Tyrol having the traditional Tyrolean style architecture. All buildings in the village, with the exception of the conference centre, only use mortar construction for the ground floor. All other floors are built out of wood. The practice gives the village a particularly charming appearance. In summer, cheery, colourful flowers illuminate the wooden balconies all around. Alpbach has been selected as the "most beautiful village of flowers in Europe" for its magnificent displays.

Innsbruck: Capital of the Alps

Alpbacherhof Wellness Hotel has a very central location, making it the ideal home base for excursions throughout Tyrol. The Olympic host city Innsbruck is just one hour away by car from the top-class Alpbacherhof Nature & Spa Resort. A visit to the capital city of the Alps should be a part of your holiday plans. A trip to Innsbruck is always well worth your while, with a variety of sights and plenty of shopping on offer for visitors.
Visit the city's iconic Golden Roof (Goldene Dachl) in the charming Innsbruck old town, and enjoy the grandeur of this ancient city. The magical old town, surrounded by the imposing peaks of the Alps, invites visitors to stroll, shop, and experience history. The Imperial Hofburg palace is a sight to see, imbuing the city with its own unique dignity.

The Hofkirche (Court Church) is a special sight, called the Black Men Church (Schwarze-Mander Kirche) by locals. The nickname refers to the 28 bronze statues in the church - all larger-than-life size.
High above the city, the Bergisel ski jump, designed by star architect Zaha Hadid, rises like a throne. The jump is the site of the Ski Jumping World Cup event during the Four Hills Tournament.
