Stuben am Arlberg, Austrian Alps

Stuben am Arlberg: 5 things to know before you go

Austrian Alps, Austria 🇦🇹

Stuben am Arlberg is a tiny Vorarlberg hamlet at 1,407 m on Ski Arlberg, at 305 km the biggest interconnected ski area in Austria. This is the village where Hannes Schneider opened the Arlberg's first ski school, and the Albonabahn climbs straight from the door into one of the best off-piste sectors in the Alps.

1.Is the snow reliable in Stuben am Arlberg?

Yes. The base sits at 1407 m and the top reaches 2811 m, which puts snow reliability among the very best on our index (score 90/100).

2.Do you need a car, or can you ski in and out?

Most hotels sit right on the snow front, so this is genuine ski-in/ski-out: park once on arrival and ski from the door, with no daily driving or shuttle.

3.How big is the ski area, and who is it for?

It is one of the bigger domains on the site: 305 km of piste on 88 lifts, enough to ski a different sector every day of the week. The terrain is balanced (0 green, 80 blue, 130 red, 50 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.

4.What is the resort like?

Stuben am Arlberg stands out for serious off-piste and freeride terrain and a vast, multi-sector domain.

5.When is the best time to go?

The season usually runs Nov 30 to May 4 (about 22 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. Conditions soften as spring arrives, so earlier in the window is the safer call.
