Skiing in Alpbach
I've been to Alpbach last season, and the season before. It's a very quiet
village, with just a few hotels and bars. The Hotel Post has a good kitchen, as does the Jacober. The Jacober and the Waschkuchl (next door) are both lively bars. There are just 2 ski-schools in Alpbach, the Autrian Ski-School http://www.skischule-alpbach.at/ and a private outfit called Alpbach Active http://www.alpbach-aktiv.com/ . I'd very much recommend Alpbach Active. The skiing is nice, nothing scary, and the lift system is pretty good for a small resort.

Skiing is all right at Alpbach. If you have a car, the Wildschönau and the Zillertal including the Hintertux glacier can be reached easily. What makes Alpbach somewhat unique: they tried to keep Alpbach what it was before the invention of mass tourism. So if you want to go to "town" every night and have a particularly good time you might not like a place that tries to remain a small Austrian village. Enjoy your stay, and post the result!
