Your Winter in the Arlberg Region
The birthplace of skiing

Nature, tradition and pioneering spirit meet state-of-the-art facilities and luxury - welcome to Arlberg!

Snow, slopes, spas, and food: The Arlberg region, often dubbed the "cradle of alpine skiing", is a place where everything is top-notch: from the splendid pistes in St. Anton and the historical hamlet of St. Christoph, to the home-away-from-home feel of Stuben, the international lifestyle of Zürs, and the multiple-award-winning restaurants in Lech - no matter your preference, you'll find a place here that seems custom-made for you. Fun fact: There isn't an actual peak or mountain range called Arlberg. It's the name for a pass, which is commonly used for the mountains merging into one another.

Arlberg is one of the snowiest regions of the Alps, the largest connected ski area in Austria and one of the five largest in the world. Skiing has been part of everyday day life here for more than 100 years, meaning you can look forward to an authentic winter experience - yet always with a tad of luxury.

Put on your skis, whisk down the slopes and explore the huts and mountain restaurants side by side with the locals - that's what winter holidays in the Arlberg region are like!
