The ski resort St. Anton/St. Christoph/Stuben/Lech/Zürs/Warth/Schröcken – Ski Arlberg is located in St. Anton am Arlberg (Austria, Tyrol (Tirol), Tiroler Oberland, Landeck) and in the Bregenzerwald (Austria, Vorarlberg, Bregenz). For skiing and snowboarding, there are 304 km of slopes and 200 km of ski routes available. 88 lifts transport the guests. The winter sports area is situated between the elevations of 1,270 and 2,811 m.

In the 2016/2017 winter season, St. Anton am Arlberg/St. Christoph/Stuben and Lech/Zürs/Warth/Schröcken combined to form the Ski Arlberg ski resort.

Ski Arlberg is the largest connected ski resort in Austria. The slopes for skiing, snowboarding and freeriding stretch from St. Anton am Arlberg in Tyrol, to St. Christoph and Stuben in Vorarlberg and further on to Zürs, Lech and Schröcken and all the way to Warth. The new Flexen 10-person gondola lift (connection lift between Zürs and Stuben/Rauz), which opened in the 2016/2017 season, completes the circle and enables a direct connection to each village in this expansive ski resort. This winter sports region is considered the cradle of alpine skiing and is the chosen destination for all who are fascinated by the alpine winter. St. Anton, the Après-Ski Mecca, is very popular among party fans, while Lech has a calmer atmosphere. Families will find what they are looking for in Zürs, Warth and Schröcken. The ski resort is easy to access via the Arlbergstraße and by train.

N/A

Barely a village, but rather a small collection of smart, expensive hotels, restaurants and bars near the top of the Arlberg pass and sharing slopes with St Anton and Stuben. It all feels rather isolated once the lifts close. The place is probably best regarded for the charming and very popular dining spot: the Hospiz Alm. The lower slopes here offer a quiet area for beginners and a fast quad chairlift takes you to the heart of St Anton’s slopes. A long blue run from the top also heads for Stuben.

• Convenient slope-side lodging
• Some quite challenging slopes
• Excellent children’s nursery slopes

• Not much of a village
• Weekend queues
• Exposed upper mountain
