Valluga: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you ski down from the top?
Only with a mountain guide. The descent from the Valluga top station is guided terrain, so the final cable car is a sightseeing ride for everyone else.
How high is the platform?
The Valluga platform stands at 2,811 m, which is also the top elevation quoted for the whole Ski Arlberg ski area.
How long has the cable car been there?
Vallugabahn II, the small shuttle cabin that serves Valluga, was built in 1955 and the platform dates from the same project.
Is it worth it for non-skiers?
Yes, with warm clothing, because Valluga is reached entirely by lift from the village and temperatures at 2,811 m differ sharply from the valley.
How do you reach it from the village?
Ride the Galzigbahn to 2,086 m, then Valluga I to Vallugagrat at 2,650 m, then the five-person Valluga II cabin.
