Alpbach has a population of 2,600 and occupies a beautiful location on a sunny plateau at some 1,000m above sea level. Thanks to its homogenous architectural style and lovely floral decorations Alpach was voted "Austria´s Most Beautiful Village" in 1983. At the 1993 Entente Florale competition Alpbach won the title "Europe´s Most Beautiful Flower Village" for its outstanding floral achievements.
