Ski Arlberg
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.
