Austria is home to one of the world’s best ski areas, the Arlberg region, which lies between 1,300 m and 2,811 m above sea level. This was, at least, the verdict of the experts at Ski Resort Service International, who crowned Arlberg one of the best ski resorts around the world for the 4th time in their international assessment.
The five towns in the Arlberg region have been charming visitors since time immemorial.
The relaxing, luxurious Lech, classy Zürs, homelike Stuben, exclusive St. Christoph and sporty-cosmopolitan St. Anton am Arlberg have proved popular with their visitors for many years.
The Arlberg is not a mountain, but rather a pass which connects the Austrian provinces of Tyrol and Vorarlberg. Winter sports enthusiasts require only a single lift pass for the entire region. The Arlberg Card gives its holders access to a snowy paradise with 85 mountain railways and lifts, 276 km of ski-runs and 180 km of deep powder runs. Heated lift chairs add a luxurious touch to the cold wintery days.
Free ski buses shuttle guests between the individual resorts. Sun terraces invite skiers to enjoy a spot of après-ski, and indulge in a variety of other activities such as ice skating, curling, ice-carting, tobogganing, cross-country skiing, winter hiking and sleigh rides, all of which are guaranteed to make the winter holiday an experience for the whole family.
Cosy apartments and family-friendly guesthouses, top-class hotels, ski schools and childcare, welcoming Alpine huts and gourmet restaurants…the list is endless.
In addition to great value all-inclusive offers in the run-up to Christmas, in January and during the sunny skiing period in April, the Arlberg resorts also offer an event programme packed with unmissable highlights.
