Skiing

305 kilometres of ski slopes of all levels of difficulty and 200 kilometres of exclusive deep powder snow runs make Ski Arlberg a unique winter sports resort. The five villages of Lech, Zürs, Stuben, St. Christoph and St. Anton am Arlberg open their doors onto the fascinating world of the finest powder snow and majestic Alpine peaks, of ample variety and a unique sense of freedom. In winter 2016/17 the new Flexenbahn between Zürs and Stuben/Rauz will be opened, thus providing a link for the entire Arlberg skiing region - making it possible to easily reach all Arlberg skiing locations on skis. This makes the Arlberg skiing region the largest continuous skiing area in Austria, making skiing and skiing holidays even more versatile and comfortable!

Heliskiing

Heliskiing

Heli-skiing offers freeride aficionados a truly memorable experience. Lech Zürs is the only resort in Austria to offer packages for this exciting snow activity. You can choose between two magnificent peaks: the "Mehlsack" summit is ideal for experienced skiers, while the "Schneetäli-Orgelscharte" is recommended for skiers with intermediate skills – and is particularly attractive in the spring on the hard-packed snow. Heli-skiing packages are for up to four people including the ski guide and can be booked directly through the ski schools in Lech and Zürs.

The White Ring - The Race

The White Ring - The Race

In 2006, "The White Ring - The Race" took place for the first time. It has long since become a "cult race" with an attractive supporting programme. Participants have to rise to the challenge of 22 kilometres of pistes and 5,500 metres of ascent. "The White Ring - The Race" is thus "the world's longest ski race". Registration takes place in September 2016. Incidentally, the course record is held by former downhill ski racer Patrick Ortlieb with a time of 44:35:07 minutes. It remains to be seen whether this record will be broken on the 10th birthday of "The White Ring - The Race". Save the date: 19.01.2019

Run of fame - maximum skiing experience

With the new Flexenbahn, a spectacular skiing run will be created: The new "Run of Fame" has been dedicated to the Arlberg skiing stars and boosts the skiing experience to a maximum of 65 downhill skiing kilometres and an incredible altitude difference of 18,000 metres. The skiing run leads across the Arlberg and takes in the entire dimension of the fully connected skiing area – from Warth in the north via Lech Zürs with the new Flexenbahn to St. Anton/Rendl in the south – the entire Arlberg skiing area will be covered. In addition, once a year there will be a "Hunt of Fame" – a top class ski race along the new skiing run on the Arlberg.
