Have you been to Alpbach

hello,

anybody been to Alpbach?

We are thinking of this resort (towards end of March) because seems its easy to get there from Munich.

Is the resort too small or good enough for beginners?

Any other suggestions welcome...

Thanks

Hi Bluemoon, welcome to J2ski. Have skiied all the runs in Alpbach, but I confess, I was not looking at the place through a beginners eyes. It is however, a very nice village, absolutely everything Tyrol. My OH's recollections are of steepish reds, but I did not form that impression.

Subsequently, swapped several emails with the ex-mayor of Alpbach, as part of my research into the history of the Wildschoenau resistance movement against Napoleon. I digress.

For absolute beginners Alpbach may be quite acceptable, in that you can work away on the village slope. If you have some experience, there is one T bar at Inner Alpbach, or you will need to go up the Gondola in Alpbach. Unless you are intermediate-developed, you will need to return by Gondola.

Alpbach is a beautiful village, and worth a visit for it's own sake.

I had a nice apfel strudel in Alpbach....Yum Yum 8)

What, in preference to a Germknodel Ian? :shock:

This should give you an idea of what to expect if you dont already own a copy of "The Bible"

Alpbach looks very small, almost as small as Niederau. Probably good for beginners, but it doesnt have a particularly good snow record. Might be ok for a short break.
