Ski Arlberg

• Ski Arlberg comprises the local areas of St. Anton–St. Christoph–Stuben, Lech–Oberlech–Zürs and Warth–Schröcken.
• St. Anton and Stuben are connected to Lech-Zürs by the Flexenbahn.
• The Auenfeldjet connects Lech-Zürs with Warth-Schröcken.
• Lech-Zürs lies at the heart of the ski area; the local bus connects Lech, Oberlech and Zürs.
• The road between Lech-Zürs and Warth-Schröcken is usually closed in winter.
• Notable differences in terrain include Valluga freeriding near St. Anton and the black Ochsakopf run in Warth-Schröcken.
• As of October 2026, the entire ski area comprises 301 kilometres of pistes and 85 cable cars and lifts.

Ski Arlberg connects several valleys by lift. When choosing where to stay, the key factors are your preferred sector, daily access and the type of terrain.

St. Anton, St. Christoph and Stuben make up the eastern part of the Arlberg. The Flexenbahn runs from here to Lech-Zürs, providing lift access for a ski day in another sector. St. Anton’s terrain also includes the Valluga: this freeride area is intended for experienced skiers, and professional guidance is recommended. If this challenging terrain is your main draw, make St. Anton your base rather than assuming you will switch sectors every day.

Lech, Oberlech and Zürs lie at the heart of the ski area and are connected to the other two sectors by the Flexenbahn and Auenfeldjet. This makes Lech-Zürs a distinctive base for trips in either direction. A local bus also connects Lech, Oberlech and Zürs, and many accommodations are directly on the slopes. This is useful when members of a group have different plans for the day, or when access without a car is important. The White Ring is a distinctive ski circuit in this local area.

Warth and Schröcken are connected to Lech-Zürs by the Auenfeldjet. The connection is a lift route across the Auenfeld; in winter, the road between the local areas is usually closed. If you stay there and want to visit other sectors, be sure to distinguish between the ski connection and travelling by car. The terrain ranges from family-friendly options to freeride routes; the black Ochsakopf run on the Salober is the steepest piste in the area.

When visiting several sectors in one day, your starting point, return route and the time needed to cross between areas determine how much time you have left on the pistes you want to ski.

For comparison within Tyrol, consider the Kitzbühel Alps and the Zillertal. Another regional comparison is the Jasná ski area on Chopok. Compare access from your accommodation, connections between sectors and the terrain that is genuinely suitable for your group.
