Alpbach holiday apartment: Inneralpbach

WINTER FACTS

The gondola station is situated down the hill on the right. A 7 minute walk from Haus Hislop. The nearest lift is the T- bar lift which is a 2 minute walk down the hill. It takes you up to the tree line and the run down is a red one. You can ski back to the T- bar or ski to the gondola station that takes you up to the top of the mountain, The magnificent Wiedersbergerhorn. It's about a 15 minutes ride up. The meeting point for ski school is located very close by. The top of the mountain is where the blue runs are and for the intermediates and advanced, it is the starting point for red and black runs. You can leave your skis, poles and boots at the gondola station. Your boots will be dried and disinfected. It would save you from carrying them back to Haus Hislop. I do have a ski room though and if you come down route 5 and come to the T- bar lift (which is the first 'You tube' movie) then it would only be a 2 minute walk to Haus Hislop.
