The St. Anton ski region
Slopes and lifts on the Arlberg

Freeriding on more than 200km of deep-snow descents
A particular Arlberg highlight are the many backcountry slopes. You would have to go a long way to find another region with such a terrific range of ski tour and deep snow options. Many of these are accessible via ski lift, but others make you find your own way to the top. A top recommendation: the Arlberg is the only ski region in Austria to offer heli-skiing as an option. Contact the ski and mountain guides to discuss this option.
Learn to ski on the Arlberg
With over 1,000 trained and proficient ski instructors, the Arlberg is just the right place for beginners as well. Even some of the instructor training facilities are located here. But the Arlberg Ski School also offers lessons for experienced skiers. You can learn to traverse deep snow or take a ski tour, try heli-skiing or discover the Telemark style.
