Ski Arlberg

Ski Arlberg unites the areas of Ski Arlberg East (St. Anton am Arlberg, St. Christoph, and Stuben am Arlberg) with Ski Arlberg West (Lech, Oberlech, Zürs, Warth, and Schröcken). While St. Anton am Arlberg and St. Christoph am Arlberg are located in Tyrol, the other villages are in Vorarlberg. The network comprises 85 lifts, 302 kilometres of pistes, and an additional 200 kilometres of deep-snow runs. St. Anton am Arlberg is easily accessible by public transport: The world's highest ICE train station is located directly in the village. The history of skiing here goes back a long way.

In 1884, Emperor Franz Joseph I opened the Arlberg Railway, which made it easier for skiers to reach the area. The Arlberg Ski Club was founded in 1901, and in 1936, Austria's first tow lift went into operation in Zürs - before that, skiers had to climb the slopes on foot. Today, on the Tyrolean side, the permanent giant slalom run "Rendl Race", the Stanton Speed run with timekeeping, and the Stanton Park for snowboarders are particularly popular.

Families will find plenty to enjoy on the Galzig Fun Slope, the Hoppl Path, and in the St. Anton Kinderwelt, located directly at the Galzig valley station. The "Run of Fame", the longest ski circuit in the Alps at 85 kilometres, leads through the entire ski area. In the last season, the "ARL ONE" (formerly Heustadl) at the bottom of the valley run was added. Slalom Olympic champion and double world champion Mario Matt, a native of the region, runs an upscale après-ski bar there.
