The Swarovski Crystal Worlds

It sparkles and glitters

The best way to describe the Crystal Worlds: Magical. Fascinating. Hypnotising. Imaginative. Beautiful!

The site was opened in 1995 to mark the company’s centenary and has since delighted millions of visitors from all over the world. A unique place of fantasy that touches you in all its facets. Magnificent crystal works of art, design and architecture cast a magical spell over you and bring you closer to contemporary art and ancient history. An absolute recommendation and an excursion destination for the whole family.

Cities & towns around Alpbach

When the weather doesn't tempt you to go hiking or skiing, Tyrol's towns and cities invite you to stroll around and take in the sights.

Alpbach

Why go far away when the good things are so close? Alpbach is Tyrol's only village with traditional Tyrolean-style architecture. All the houses in the village, with the exception of the Congress Centre, are made of brickwork on the ground floor only, all other floors are made of wood. In summer, colourful flowers shine from the wooden balconies, for which our charming village was awarded the title of "Europe's most beautiful flower village".

Small and beautiful: with just under 400 inhabitants and an area of 10 hectares, Rattenberg is the smallest town in Austria. The small medieval town exudes a special charm and has its own unique highlights: The 10th century castle, the traditional Advent market of lights in winter and the art of glassblowing, which can be marvelled at in numerous show workshops. Rattenberg is definitely worth a visit when you are in Alpbach.

Welcome to Kufstein, the "Pearl of Tyrol". Here you can visit the impressive fortress and marvel at the world's largest outdoor organ.
