The Arlberg – the cradle of Alpine skiing

In the winter of 1900/1901 as the century turned, four skiing pioneers conquered the snowy slopes of the Arlberg – a first that had a lasting impact on the Arlberg and the history of the Arlberg Hospiz Hotel. The four skiers visited the well-known, hospitable innkeeper Oswald Trojer and overnight the inn became the birthplace of skiing at the Arlberg.

Today, the Arlberg is Austria’s largest contiguous ski area and one of the five biggest worldwide. The reasons for its unmatched appeal are many – the idyllic natural landscape, the location in one of Europe’s most affluent regions, or the excellent connections.

Skiing at the Arlberg – winter sports at the highest level

Lech and Oberlech, Zürs, St. Anton, St. Christoph and Stuben guarantee skiing and winter sports fun throughout the season and leave no wish unfulfilled. 305 kilometres of connected ski slopes, more than 200 kilometres of deep-snow runs and 87 state-of-the-art ski lifts and cable cars attract winter sports enthusiasts, sporty skiers, freeriders, tourers and other skiing holidaymakers from all over the world to the Ski Arlberg winter paradise in the Alps.

In times of climate change, snow certainty is also an issue. The Arlberg Hospiz Hotel is located in St. Christoph 1,793 metres above sea level. Up to 14 metres of natural snow fall here every year, making St. Christoph one of Europe’s snowiest areas.

The holiday region, which has again been chosen as the ADAC Ski Guide’s "Number 1 Ski Area", is an impressive array of superlatives: a winter holiday in St. Christoph am Arlberg will captivate even well-travelled winter sports fans.
