Ski Mountaineering

Off-piste skiing in St. Anton am Arlberg 

The Arlberg region is known as a ski tourer’s paradise. Varied ascents beneath a backdrop of the breathtaking mountain world, sweeping and fascinating views from high mountain peaks and fantastic downhill runs in fresh deep powder. From early winter to late spring, St. Anton am Arlberg offers a wide variety of ski tours for beginners, advanced and expert skiers.  

On tour with the mountain guides

Well-trained and state-certified ski and mountain guides take beginners on their first ski tours in the Arlberg region, sharing tips about the right equipment, snow conditions, potential dangers, safety and the proper behaviour in the mountains. Ambitious and experienced ski tourers can tackle more demanding tours accompanied by mountain guides and explore the Arlberg off the secured ski slopes.  

There’s even more adventure to be had! If ski touring did not push you to your limits, you can go heli-skiing and heli-boarding in the Arlberg region. The helicopter drops you on the Mehlsack in Lech am Arlberg at an elevation of 2,652 m or in the idyllic Schneetäli in Lech at an elevation of 2,450 m. From the top, it’s up to you to negotiate the untouched terrain, immersing yourself in waist deep powder and enjoying the one-hour descent to the romantic side valley of Zug. Advanced skiing skills are required if you want to experience this unforgettable adventure. 

To perfectly round off an eventful day of holiday in St. Anton am Arlberg, a five-course menu from the young, creative and dynamic cuisines awaits you every day at the Arlmont restaurant. Just the right thing for fans of the traditional cuisine and lovers of haute cuisine alike.
