Alpendorf Property Guide

The stunning green that embellishes so much of Alpendorf stays fresh in the memory of those who have visited, enticing them to search for potential property investments in the region. Villas and chalets characterise the region, each one varying in size from compact chalets to villas designed to host large families, with many made to reflect traditional Austrian architecture. Those looking for a more modern touch won’t be disappointed, however, as there are some more contemporary styles scattered around.

Buyers need to react extremely quickly to the rare opportunities that do present themselves as many properties available for sale in Alpendorf tend to become long term holding investments by their respective owners. In turn, this means prices are usually set at a premium but if you are prepared to pay the market rate – which stretches anywhere between a €250,000 to over a million – then you will secure a prime slice of property that offers guaranteed returns over the coming years.

There are breath taking views on show right throughout the year, whether you are visiting in the summer where the lush greenery rolls as far as the eye can see, or in the winter when the ground and mountains are covered in a beautiful blanket of snow.

Winter in Alpendorf

Alpendorf acts as the entry point into the vast Salzburger Sportwelt ski region that includes the villages of Wagrain, Flachau, Zauchensee and 6 others! In total it covers some 270 lifts and forms the backbone of the much larger Ski Amadé region. The ski area offers a wide variety of pistes and is well suited to groups of mixed ability. Beginners will find lots of confidence-boosting pistes that are well groomed and maintained. More advanced skiers will find some easily accessible off-piste that is often left un-tracked for two or three days after each snowfall! Opened only in 2015, the new single-span cable car above Wagrain has transformed the ski area making much of the area accessible without the need for any bus transfers.
