About the area
Warth-Schröcken maps out about 48 km of pistes, and the balance leans gentle: roughly 27 km, or 55%, are green and blue, which makes it workable for beginners and comfortable for intermediates who want mileage without much drama. Around 13 km are red. Experts get less: 8 km of black, expert and freeride terrain, about 17%, and the longest single run drops only 191 m of vertical, so lap-hungry steep skiers will find it thin. Families should note that only 1 of the 14 lifts is a gondola, so most loading is on chairlifts.
The 14 lifts break down as 1 gondola, 12 chairlifts and 1 platter, serving a compact vertical band between 1,513 m and 2,050 m. The longest run measures 1,516 m. The area is part of Ski Arlberg, so a wider lift network is reachable on the same ski day.
