Ski Arlberg and the Zürs ski paradise

Zürs: Cradle of alpine skiing

In Zürs, you will find our 4* Arlberghaus Hotel right at the piste, at an altitude of 1,720 metres, amidst the famous Arlberg skiing resort that has reached worldwide fame as “cradle of alpine skiing“. Even before 1900, people were skiing at the Arlberg, the first skiing course in Zürs was held in 1906. In 1937, Austria’s first ski lift was set up in Zürs. One of the 4 partners was our great-grandfather – Franz Eggler. Austria’s first cable car designed for winter operation, the Galzigbahn, was built in St. Anton.

The Arlberg

Next to Zürs, the towns of Lech, Stuben, St. Christoph and St. Anton count as belonging to the Ski Arlberg region. Zürs lies in the heart of the Arlberg. The facet-rich mountain world impresses its visitors anew again and again and offers a true ski Eldorado for winter sports fans at altitudes between 1,300 and 2,800 metres above sea level.

The Arlberg is legendary and stands for quality, innovation and passion. The snow guarantee makes the Ski Arlberg skiing resort with its 88 ski lifts and 305 km of pistes an absolute hotspot for winter fans from all over the world. A special characteristic are the many modern, heated chairlifts, 23 ski conveyers as well as innumerable pistes at all difficulty levels. 180 km of deep snow descents additionally provide limitless off-piste powder fun. Upon commissioning of the Trittkopf- and Flexenbahn, the Arlberg became Austria’s largest skiing resort in December 2016. And same as always, Zürs has remained the uncontested centre of the Arlberg to this day.
