About the area

Ski Arlberg spreads 274 km of pistes across the Arlberg massif, split 126 km blue, 104 km red and 44 km black or freeride terrain. With 46% of the runs green or blue and 107 short easy pistes right by a lift base, it works well for people still learning, while the 16% marked black and a single run with 951 m of vertical give strong skiers plenty to work through. Families are well served: seven magic carpets for first turns and 17 gondolas or cable cars, so small children never have to load a chairlift.

The area runs from 1281 m up to 2642 m and is served by 92 lifts, including 42 chairlifts and 12 gondolas. The longest single descent measures 4002 m. Beyond the pistes there are 19 km of cross-country trails and 2 km of floodlit skiing.
