Alpbach tourist information

Alpbach is a village in Western Austria in the state of Tyrol. Its geographical location is 47°24′N 11°57′E, at 975 m above sea level. Alpbach had a population of 2,549 in 2003.

The earliest written record of the name Alpbach comes from 1150, although human settlement is known to have begun there before and around the year 1000, and a bronze axe found at Steinberger Joch (the pass leading to the Ziller Valley) in 1860 suggests that the route was already in use in the Hallstatt period.

Christianity was first brought to the region in the 7th and 8th centuries by Irish and Scottish monks, and the patron saint of the parish church is in fact St. Oswald, a former King of Northumbria.
