Experiences away from the slopes
You won't find large mountain inns in Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau – here, cosy huts and rustic bars are the go-to places. In addition to classic Austrian dishes such as Käsespätzle and Kaiserschmarren (served in a giant pan), you can also try regional delights: pretzel soup is an all-time crowdpleaser.
Other must-tries you won't find elsewhere include Krautinger schnapps (a traditional beet schnapps that is only produced in Wildschönau) and Brandenberger Prügeltorte (Alpbach's signature spit cake).
Insider's Tip
Sitting right at the top station of the new Hornbahn 2000 cable car, the 13-m-high "Top of Alpbachtal" observation tower is a must-visit. The wooden structure with large windows boasts 360-degree-views of Alpachtal, the Zillertal Alps and the Rofan mountain range.
Other Instagram-worthy view points include the Pöglbahn top station Wiedersberger Horn, the Schatzberg summit cross in Auffach Wildschönau and the Markbachjoch in Niederau.
