A new dimension of skiing fun has been reached with the newly built Flexenbahn gondola lift between Zürs and Stuben/Rauz.
Now, skiers can go everywhere in Arlberg on skis and snowboards. The six minute ride is a stunning landscape experience seen through the large panoramic windows of the gondolas, with a clear view into the Klostertal valley and to St. Christoph. Far down below, the Flexenpass road winds towards Arlberg with its notorious bends. While winter sports enthusiasts indulge this grandiose vision, their muscles are treated to a moment of relaxation on the comfortable heated seats. In just a few minutes they will be needed again when you get back on the slopes.
This new connection makes Ski Arlberg the largest contiguous skiing area in Austria. At the same time it takes its place among the top 5 largest ski areas in the world. In addition to the Flexenbahn gondola, three other cableways began operating in winter 2016/17: Trittkopf cableways I and II and Albonabahn cableway II. Arlberg has thus become one. The circle has now been closed.
