Holiday in Arlberg

About Arlberg

The Arlberg is the cradle of alpine skiing and one of the most legendary winter sports regions in the world. Here, on the mountain pass between Tyrol and Vorarlberg, the first ski club in the Alps was founded in 1901, and in 1922 Hannes Schneider developed the Arlberg technique, which revolutionized modern skiing. Today, the Ski Arlberg area connects the towns of St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, Lech, Zürs, Warth, and Schröcken into one of the largest interconnected ski areas in the world with 305 kilometers of slopes and 200 kilometers of variant runs. St. Anton am Arlberg is the vibrant heart of the region – known for challenging slopes, legendary après-ski at the Mooserwirt bar, and an international atmosphere. Lech and Zürs, on the other hand, exude refined elegance: here, the Dutch royal family vacations, and the gourmet offerings with several award-winning restaurants are unmatched in the Alps. Warth-Schröcken on the Vorarlberg side is considered the snowiest place in Austria. In summer, the Arlberg reveals another side: blooming alpine meadows, crystal-clear mountain lakes, and challenging via ferratas attract hikers and climbers. The Grüne Ring in Lech is a scenic circular hiking trail, and the Formarinsee hike leads to the most beautiful place in Austria (voted in 2015). The Arlberg combines sporting challenge, luxury, and nature experience like hardly any other Alpine region – and is reachable from southern Germany in under three hours.
