05 / Tips
Plan your ski day
Keep an eye on the connecting lifts
Ski Arlberg warns that after the closing time of the connecting cable cars you can no longer return on skis. The 2025/26 route map listed the last trip of the Auenfeldjet at 16:00 and of the Flexenbahn at 16:05 or 16:10; check the current operating hours.
Plan your journey to Warth
The road between Lech and Warth is closed in winter. Check public transport timetables at vmobil.at and oebb.at, which the official route map recommends for travel information.
Collect the checkpoints
With the Ski Arlberg app you can record the three checkpoints during a season: Warth (Dorfbahn), the HALL of FAME in Zürs and St. Anton (Riffelbahn I or II). The reward is a badge for your ski pole in the HALL of FAME.
