Activities
Congratulations on selecting Arlberg as your Skican vacation destination! Although this ski area is best known for its terrific skiing/riding, the area offers plenty of additional activities for you to enjoy during your stay.
Heli Skiing
Climb into a helicopter and let your powder snow adventure begin! In the Arlberg ski area, heliskiing gives you that deep powder snow grin you’ve been missing — regardless of whether your face already has a few wrinkles or if you still have to earn them. From on high, find your own line, plunge into powder snow up to your hips, and enjoy every turn.
Cross Country Skiing
The Arlberg ski area offers a varied network of cross-country ski trails, including over 27 kilometres of prepared tracks for both classic and skating style skiing. Flat terrain and gentle climbs, crisp mountain sprints, and short downhill runs will allow you to experience the fresh mountain air of the Tyrolean Alps.
Tobogganing
Need a break from skiing as a family? Away from slopes and deep snow runs, there is a special realm dedicated to those who love the toboggan.
Kilometres of tracks — fast, comfortable or thrilling with curves and hills — offer extraordinary winter delights that not even sunset can put a stop to. Once the winter wonderland sinks into the soft colours of twilight, it is time for evening tobogganing — a unique experience showing the Arlberg from a completely different perspective.
Snowparks
Arlberg has always been a magnet for many kinds of winter sports. With its first rate snowparks, this alpine skiing region has long since become a mecca for the freestyle scene. While the beginners try their first tricks, the experts are making skilful jumps at impressive heights, leaving the spectators amazed. Try out these snow parks for yourself on your visit to Arlberg!
Run of Fame
On the Run of Fame, skiers can go on a new, spectacular ski circuit through the entire Ski Arlberg skiing area. The 85-kilometer-long circuit with an 18,000 metre difference in altitude runs from St. Anton/Rendl via Zürs and Lech to Warth and back again, and is dedicated to those ski pioneers and stars from sport and film who once sashayed on skis down these snowy slopes and left their marks behind.
