Ski Arlberg: Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Ski Arlberg best suited to?
Ski Arlberg suits confident intermediates and advanced skiers who want mileage. The operator counts 305 km of marked runs plus roughly 200 km of open terrain, so a week rarely repeats itself. Beginners are better served by the gentler village slopes at Lech or Warth than by the full circuit.
How many lifts and pistes does the area have?
Published figures differ slightly between pages. The St. Anton and Lech Zürs lift pages give Ski Arlberg 305 km of slopes and 88 lifts, while the ski region page states 300 km and 85 lifts. Either way it is the largest linked area in the country.
Which villages are covered by one ticket?
One Ski Arlberg pass covers St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, Lech, Zürs, Warth and Schröcken. The Flexenbahn cable car connects the St. Anton side to Lech Zürs. Warth-Schröcken guests can also buy a smaller local ticket or the 3TälerPass instead.
How does it compare with the Skicircus?
Ski Arlberg is larger on marked terrain (305 km against 270 km) and far stronger off-piste, with about 200 km of open terrain. The Skicircus counters on pass breadth: its Ski ALPIN CARD reaches 408 km and 121 lifts by adding Zell am See and the Kitzsteinhorn glacier.
Is the resort accessible for wheelchair users?
Partly. The Galzig, Rendl and Nasserein cable cars in Ski Arlberg are listed as wheelchair accessible, along with their restroom facilities. The Galzig Restaurant, Verwallstube, Bella Vita and Rendl Restaurant are also accessible. Check current status with the tourism association before travelling.
