Alpbachtal
Mountain villages, glass art and family skiing

The Alpbachtal is located in Tirol and is known for its 10 holiday villages:

• Alpbach: The main village of the valley, known for its traditional wooden architecture and as the venue of the European Forum Alpbach.

• Reith im Alpbachtal: A popular holiday destination, especially for families.

• Brixlegg: A market town close to the Inn river and Rattenberg.

• Münster: A village between Alpbach and the Inn valley, which is a good starting point for hikes.

• Rattenberg: Austria's smallest town, famous for its glassblowing and well-preserved medieval old town.

• Kramsach: Renowned for its lakes (e.g. Reintaler See) and the Tirol Farmstead Museum.

• Brandenberg: A postcard-perfect village particularly popular for the Brandenberger Ache and its nature experiences.

• Radfeld, Breitenbach am Inn and Kundl: All three villages are suitable for cycling tours and hikes.

Here are our recommendations:
