ST ANTON - ZÜRS - LECH - ZUG - STUBEN - ST CHRISTOPH
Explore the unspoiled ski itineraires of the Arlberg valley in Austrian Tyrol.
The Arlberg valley benefits from a microclimate that guarantees an important snow cover all winter long. Around St Anton, Zürs, Lech, Oberlech, Zug, Stuben and St Christoph ski areas offer enormous off-piste skiing potential. A ski bus connects all these ski resorts, making the valley an ideal spot for a star safari.
Through great off-piste itineraries, we ski different valleys every day. It happens to connect several large ski areas thanks to inter-station itineraries starting from the alpine peaks and ending with nice skiing in the forest.
A star ski safari trip allows you to choose the destination of each day according to the conditions, in order to be in the right place at the right time and thus make an optimal ski on each ski area.
