 by Marco Toniolo Arlberg itineraries Omeshorn Trittkopf Hasenfluh Introduction The Arlberg is a small region nestled between the Tirol and Voralberg, seemingly made for skiing. The slopes are steep but never excessively so, every year there is plenty of snow, and the hospitality is memorable. Two villages, Lech and Zürs. are situated close to famous St. Anton and offer fabulous freeriding itineraries that will make you want to return to this corner of Austria. Often. One liftpass covers the entire area and the two villages are connected by ski lifts, unlike St. Anton which is reached by bus.
The best time of year for snowboarding is definitely from the start of December to late January, when temperatures are low, guaranteeing fresh powder snow for many days. In addition, not many people visit this area at this time of year (apart from the Christmas period) resulting in many of the slopes remaining virgin.
The following itineraries are for advanced skiers and only to be undertaken in stable snow conditions. Do not be fooled by the ski lifts nearby: all itineraries require experience and knowledge of how to move on steep, avalanche prone terrain. |
