Winter season and equipment

The ski season at Arlberg begins in early December and ends mid/late April. Detailed information can be found at skiarlberg.at.

Lech am Arlberg and Ski Arlberg are considered extremely reliable in terms of snow, as the ski area is one of the snowiest regions in Europe with an average of nine metres of natural snow per season. Thanks to the high altitude (1,400 m – 2,800 m), favourable weather conditions (between Verwall and Lechquellengebirge) and extensive artificial snowmaking, the best conditions are guaranteed from December to April, making the season longer than average.

Ski Arlberg comprises around 300 kilometres of slopes with 85 ski lifts and cable cars. This makes it the largest ski resort in Austria and one of the five largest in the world.

Snow conditions: The Arlberg ski area is located at an altitude of 1,300–2,800 metres and has excellent snow conditions throughout the season. Crowds: Lech is busiest between the end of December and the end of February.

You can purchase your ski passes online in the Ski Arlberg web shop. You can then print out your ski pass or collect your deposit at any time from the self-service machines in Lech or Zürs.
