About the Alpbachtal
The Alpbachtal is a beautiful valley in the KitzbĂĽhel Alps. It takes its name from the Alpbach stream, which flows through the entire valley. The entrance to the valley is the municipality of Brixlegg. A road from Brixlegg runs through the valley to the parish of Inneralpbach.
In summer the valley is considered a hiking valley; there are also several alpine pastures. In winter, as almost everywhere in Tyrol, ski tourism dominates.

- A favorite among locals is Flo’s Restaurant. The menu includes everything from international to Austrian and Tyrolean dishes.
Jausenstation
- The cosy and informal Jausenstation Zottahof looks down on Alpbach and is renowned for its matchless Kaiserschmarren. The recipe has been handed down from generation to generation and is well-guarded secret.
