About Ski Arlberg
Ski Arlberg is the cradle of alpine skiing and Austria's largest interconnected ski area, linking the legendary resorts of St. Anton, Lech, Zürs, Stuben, and Warth-Schröcken into a single 305km domain served by 88 lifts. The completion of the Flexenbahn gondola in 2016 finally connected the Arlberg's western and eastern sectors, creating a seamless ski circuit that can be traversed in a single day by strong skiers — the 'Run of Fame' route covers 85km and 18,000 vertical metres across the full domain. St. Anton is the beating heart of the area: a resort whose steep, off-piste terrain and legendary après-ski scene (the Mooserwirt and Krazy Kanguruh are famous worldwide) have made it a pilgrimage destination for expert skiers since the 1920s. Lech and Zürs on the eastern side offer a more refined, upmarket atmosphere with exceptional grooming and gentler intermediate terrain, while the quiet villages of Stuben and Warth-Schröcken deliver some of the deepest natural snowfall in the Alps — Warth averages over 10 metres per season. For US skiers seeking the definitive Austrian ski experience, Ski Arlberg delivers history, scale, terrain quality, and cultural authenticity in a combination that no other area can match.
