The Skiers' Guide to Alpbach - Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau

Alpbach was really family friendly. The hotel was clean with friendly staff, nice apres snacks.
Ski school for my children (4&6 at the time) was next level, with their own chalet with facilities and a sectioned off learner area, really gave us peace of mind.
Some really nice viewing points with red runs back to main lift. Fab holiday!!

Skiing was ok, but snow making facilities not that good and with the Snow being poor this time, the snow making needed to be on point which is wasn’t. Apres was terrible and pretty boring, which is not something I would associate with Austrian ski resorts

Came to this gorgeous spot for our 2024 trip and let me tell you. My mind was blown. The runs, the food, the vibe, Immaculate. Would definitely recommend to anyone

Great for those who like wide open runs. Generously graded runs give extra confidence to those looking to get to the next level. Good ski schools for all the family (ski check). Very pretty village and many excellent walks and activities for non skiers/boarders

Great family friendly resort with efficient lifts, quiet slopes and good ski schools. The main downside is this resit is quite low so whilst there is great potential for off-piste lack of snow meant this was not possible.

Really good well rounded resort. It is relatively limited so for someone for me who wants to hit off piste, park, and everything else under the sun it wouldn’t be my first pick. But I did a season here and absolutely loved it regardless. Great for beginners and family holidays will definitely return

I've been here twice now, it was where I learnt to ski as it was really good value for money for people starting out. Everything is reasonably priced compared to let's say France, especially lift passes and lessons, was a decent amount of blue runs for beginners, lots of tree lined runs so very picturesque. The ski jewel area is pretty big and definitely enough to keep intermediate skiiers from getting bored too. Always found the food good and the bars lively and friendly, had some great apres nights here!

Really fun beginner friendly resort! Great ski schools available. Stayed in the Luxe hotel which was ski in, ski out and had an amazing spa available. 10/10 would recommend.

I've visited several times and will be returning again in January. Slopes are pretty decent, quiet (outside of school holidays!). Stay in Niederau which is a little lively at times.

It's hard to give a true appraisal of the area. The weather was particularly mild so conditions were quite impacted.

It's a small area with limited run types. The week I skied the majority of runs were marked as red, but being very icy increased the challenge. The area lacks long winding blue runs for learners and intermediates to have a cruise on.

The village is small and offers no apres ski activities. There are a couple of restaurants which offer good food but get very busy due to lack of options.

Would I go back... unlikely. Limited skiing for a week's break. Seemed to be popular with locals or others within easy travelling distance.

Family friendly resort with very nice people. A lot of blues and reds with some black and off piste for more advanced skiers

Some of our happiest family holidays at the Hotel Alpbacherhof excellent skiing short ski bus ride to Gondola with heated storage.Huge area to ski now much more than we had when we started coming to the resort. Actually came 6 yrs in succession. Great place cant recommend high enough.

Very quiet resort, Limited runs, 2 main lifts to top of hill on one side of valley and 1 lift to top of other hill on other side of valley. Ski us not as frequent as some resorts. Prices of lift pass etc just as expensive as any large resort. Supposed to be prettiest village in Austria, but they mean the outer area of green hillsides, yes green, there is hardly any snow. I would not visit here again.

Beautiful resort. Been coming for 15 years and will continue to for many more! Friendly atmosphere and wonderful accommodation & restaurant options

My second time skiing and loved it. Great place to progress skill level. Perfect range of slopes, well organised, and a great selection of places to eat and drink!

My second visit here and probably not my last. The slopes were surprisingly quiet and people were friendly. My only issue was the meals on the mountain were very delicious however too large a serving. I dont like leaving food. I went earlier this month and had the best of both worlds with snow and powder along with lovely sunny afternoons. Its also very close to Soll, Kitsbuel but for me my money went a lot further.

Several great holidays in the ski jewel. Amazing time with friends and family, plus the addition of great food and spares ski after. Nothing short of perfect for a family/friends get together

Amazing will comeback for sure with the kids when they old enough! Nothing is cool like that in Canada.

Good range of hotels, clean and tidy resort, friendly locals and bar staff at all lifts, bars and restaurants, reasonably priced food and drink, Stunning views, great ski school for partner whos a beginner, fairly technical mountain with mostly blue and red runs, great skiing and a resort to return to

A friendly, accessible resort catering for all ski levels. The choice of private lessons was great, and my partner took part in ski-school and made significant progress. Alpbach itself is also beautiful.
