Sonnenkopf: Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sonnenkopf included in the Ski Arlberg pass?

Yes. Sonnenkopf at Klösterle appears on the Ski Arlberg tariff sheet as Klösterle-Sonnenkopf, so an area-wide day or multi-day ticket covers it at no extra cost (checked 15 September 2026).

Why would a Lech visitor ski there?

When numbers are limited in Lech, Oberlech and Zürs or in Warth-Schröcken, Ski Arlberg issues tickets at Sonnenkopf and the Tyrolean villages with validity restricted to those lifts, which makes it the practical fallback on peak days.

What are the season dates?

Sonnenkopf follows the shorter northern calendar: 5 December 2025 to 12 April 2026 in season 2025/26, with an 11 April 2027 close scheduled for 2026/27.

How does it compare with the main Arlberg sectors?

Sonnenkopf is a smaller area than Lech Zürs or St. Anton, and it closes roughly a week earlier in spring, so it works better as a quiet day out than as a week-long base.

What do Google Maps visitors say about Sonnenkopf?

Sonnenkopf visitors on Google Maps often mention: "It's beautiful up on the Sonnenköpfen."
