The Alpbachtal tourism region impressively demonstrates that accessibility is not only a question of accessibility, but also of attitude.
Alpbachtal - The picturesque Alpbachtal is well on its way to becoming a pioneer in terms of inclusion and accessibility in tourism. Through numerous initiatives and offers, the tourism region wants to create the best conditions for a barrier-free holiday experience.
An inclusive digital presence, even before you arrive
From the very first glance at the website, it is clear that inclusion and accessibility are a top priority in the Alpbachtal. The website is designed to be easily accessible for all users. Access to information is made easier for users with visual, cognitive and motor impairments. For this purpose, an automated "Accessibility Tool" was installed on alpbachtal.at. Colours, contrasts, font sizes, navigation and much more can be controlled by the user. And all information on accessible holidays is clearly summarised on the website.
Accessible travel and accommodation
The travel options have been carefully designed to suit everyone. The railway station facilities in Brixlegg are barrier-free, as are the regional buses. More than 95% of the post buses are already barrier-free accessible. To be absolutely sure that a barrier-free bus is available, guests can pre-book their journey with the ÖBB customer advisory service on +43 (0)5 1717. There are several accommodations designed for people with limited mobility.
More than just a barrier-free holiday
In order to make the local holiday as pleasant as possible, offers are constantly being created. Among these are the barrier-free paths. For some time now, the hiking trail along the Reintaler Lake has been accessible without barriers. There you will also find the inclusive movement park where various fitness and sports exercises can be practised. No matter whether you are in a wheelchair or using a rollator - the course is open to everyone. And a barrier-free area has also been created for children, where they will find plenty of variety from the inclusion carousel to the course for wheelchairs. Numerous other paths are accessible barrier-free.
A special highlight is mono-skiing in winter. A unique opportunity to experience the joy of skiing in the Alps. Thanks to dedicated and trained ski instructors, such as Sepp Margreiter from Alpbach, this is an incredibly fulfilling experience.
Alpbachtal impressively shows that inclusion is a question of attitude. "We have decided to offer the best to every guest. It's about creating an inclusive experience where everyone feels welcome and valued," underlines Markus Kofler, Managing Director of Alpbachtal Tourismus. With this bundle of measures, Alpbachtal is setting new standards in tourism.
