Almabtrieb Keith Alpbach or Kufstein?

Next fall I would like to attend an Almabtrieb and was wondering which one is the best to attend Alpbach or Kufstein? Which one has the most festivities, entertainment, dancing food etc...(unfortunately they are both on the same day). Thank you Sonja

I have not been to either Almabtrieb, but I was in Kufstein last week. Kufstein is a small European city on the Inn River and much larger than the Alpbach I find on the internet (near the Achensee and Zillertal?). Kufstein is famous for the Fortress there and there were tourists visiting. It has a nice small old city pedestrian zone. It is also next to the Wildekaiser region famous for skiing and summer hiking (Ellmau, Going, Scheffau und Söll) and the Autobahn into Germany (stau at the border). If Alpbach is near the Zillertal and Achensee it is also a famous region for skiing and summer hiking and a nice place to visit. The towns (not cities) are smaller and spread apart (more rural). I would say the Kufstein Almabtrieb would be larger with more people, tourists, locals festivities, entertainment, dancing food etc. and Alpbach higher in the mountains, more quaint and local.

Thank you for your reply - Perhaps I will attend the Alpbach Almatrieb in the morning (since that is my base) and the Kufstein Almatrieb for the festivities in the afternoon - early evening.
