Return to Rheindorf Altach

On 8 July 2014, Zwischenbrugger returned to newly promoted Bundesliga club Rheindorf Altach, his first professional club.[7] He made his competitive debut for the club on 11 July in an Austrian Cup win over WSG Tirol.[8] Eight days later he made his league debut on the opening day of the domestic season in a 1–0 win against Sturm Graz.[9] Zwischenbrugger managed to immediately establish himself in the starting lineup, making 38 total appearances as Altach surprisingly finished third in the league table.[10] With 59 points, they outperformed Grazer AK as the highest finishing promoted team in Bundesliga history.[11] The club also qualified for the third qualifying round of the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League.

Zwischenbrugger made his European debut on 30 July 2015 in a 2–1 home win over Portuguese club Vitória de Guimarães, playing the full 90 minutes at centre-back alongside César Ortiz.[12] Eventually, Altach would advance with a 6–2 aggregate score and qualify for the play-off round.[11] There, after a 1–0 loss at home in the first leg and a goalless draw in the second leg, Altach failed to advance against Belenenses.[13] Zwischenbrugger appeared in all matches of Altach's first European campaign.[10]

On 11 April 2017, Zwischenbrugger signed a contract extension with Rheindorf Altach until 2019.[14] He returned to European action in the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League, as Altach made the play-off round, where they narrowly failed to beat Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv with an overall score of 3–2.[15] Zwischenbrugger appeared in both legs.[10]
