Alpbach - simply unique

Anyone who has been to Alpbach can understand why this picturesque village can boast awards like "Most Beautiful Village in Austria" or "Most Beautiful Flower Village in Europe". The terrific Alpine landscape, the location on a sunny plateau, the well-maintained houses in typical Alpbach wooden style as well as the lived identity with local culture and traditions are the essential elements of this unique Tyrolean mountain village.
 

On the initiative of Kommerzialrat Alfons Moser, mayor of Alpbach from 1945 to 1979, the local council passed the local building regulations and decreed that new buildings had to match the traditional Alpbach style.
In August 1983 Alpbach was elected "Austria's Most Beautiful Village" in a television competition held by the ORF due to its homogeneous wooden style and flower arrangements.

The only exception to this is the Congress Center Alpbach - a masterpiece that blends design, ambiance and functionality.
