Ski area Arlberg

The ski area of St. Anton belongs to the Ski Alberg group, along with the ski areas of Stuben, Zürs and Warth-Schröcken. Since the 2018/17 winter season, the ski areas are now bound together thanks to the Flexenbahn, the Trittkopfbahn I and II, as well as the Albonabahn 2 lifts systems. The Flexenbahn lift connects Lech-Zürs with Stuben/Alpe Rauz with its 47 cabins, each for 10 persons - the equivalent of about 120 ski bus trips per day. Additionally, it allows for a gorgeous view of the Klostertal thanks to the large panoramic windows. With the lift pass "Alberg", people therefore have access to a total of 303 kilometres of pistes and 88 lift systems!

Thanks to comprehensive child-care facilities for children and a lot of blue slopes, St. Anton am Arlberg is best suited for families and beginners. The Arlberg (1,300 - 2,811 m) belongs to one of the most reliable regions for snow in the entire Alpine area. In combination with most modern snow-making systems, perfect piste conditions are guaranteed here. The Arlberg is not only famous for it's grand piste quality, but also as a real freerider's paradise. A total of 200 km of deep powder snow runs can be found here, for spending quality time in deep snow fields. The mountain restaurants of the Arlberg lift offer free Wi-Fi hotspots.

The funpark "STANTON" in the Rendl ski area, is the best place to be for snowboarders. Real cracks can try themselves on the sports World Cup racing track just below the Kapall (2,330 m), whilst beginners can get going on the Gampen with their first swings.
