Legend of the Alps

Ski Arlberg is as vast as it is legendary. In the place where alpine skiing has its roots, tradition and trailblazing spirit have gone hand in hand from the very beginning. Fuelled by a passion for winter sports, the Arlberg gave rise to ideas that have made history and innovations that have defined its legacy.

The founding of the Alp’s first ski club, the first ski lesson and the first ski race all originated on the Arlberg. This authentic heritage can still be felt today: in the character of the villages, on historic runs and in the infectious enthusiasm of the people who call the Arlberg home.
