Freeriding in Austria
Freeriding, telemarking or powder skiing are inventions of modern times. Fly over untouched snow slopes at the Arlberg and enjoy the fresh powder snow in the Austrian alps.
Powder Lovers are especially thrilled by the huge amounts of snow and the legendary backcountries in Austria. Guest are usually accompanied by experienced mountain guides of the local ski schools. The guides know the best areas and will take you to the most beautiful routes in the area.

Each year the Ski School Warth offers freeride courses and safety courses for beginners and advanced skiers throughout the whole Ski Area. Every freerider’s heart will beat faster when it sees the surroundings and the amount of snow on the Arlberg.
Huge Amounts of snow for freeriding in Austria
A warm welcome to Warth at Arlberg. We are already looking forward to welcoming you at the Lech Valley Lodge. At an altitude of 1,500 m, you can choose between 20 lodges, apartments, suites and double rooms with 4 star features. Even the drive here feels like a little vacation. You can reach us through three beautiful valleys.
If you arrive by plane and land in Munich, Zurich, Friedrichshafen, Memmingen or Innsbruck, it takes about 2 hours to reach us by rental car or cab transfer. Our Lodge is located in the small, romantic mountain village of Warth am Arlberg in Vorarlberg with only 150 inhabitants
Warth is known for being a snow-safe winter sport area for freeriding in Austria. However, also the summer is wonderful in our beautiful village and at the Arlberg and offers you fantastic recreational opportunities and activities such as canyoning, hiking, biking, mountain biking and climbing.
A Paradise for Freerider
There are now about 200 km of marked Powder runs for freeriding in Austria. This makes the Arlberg area and its surroundings a real paradise for freerides. Safety is a top priority on these trips and should, of course, be a top priority in extreme sports.
The Arlberg therefore makes sure to carry out controlled avalanche blasting in the areas on a regular basis in order to ensure the highest level of safety.
Pure action with freeriding
After an eventful day on the mountain, you long for coziness and warmth. Which you will find in our lodges, suites and double rooms. Each high-quality lodge is individually equipped and fitted to your needs. Whether a large lodge like the “Arlberg Lodge” or rather a small lodge like the “Widderstein Lodge”, everyone will find what they are looking for.

Powder snow at Arlberg
What used to be a major disadvantage for Warth is now turning into an advantage. In the past, residents were cut off from the outside world for several months because there was simply too much snow. The mountains face north, which gives them a lot of snow.
When the snow disappears slowly on the southern faced mountains, you can still find amazing powder snow here, which is perfect for freeriding in Austria. The mountain is calling! Can you hear it…?
