From November onwards, the peaks of the Arlberg are gradually covered in snow. Towards the end of the month, the first lifts in the Lech–Zürs ski area begin to run, and skiers make their first turns on the slopes.
Under a clear blue sky, fresh snow begins to glow. The mountain air is crisp and pure. The view opens onto the surrounding white peaks. Winter here feels just as we imagine it.

The snow wind blows at you, the sun makes the pristine white landscape around you glow, in the air just the sound of your skiing movements in the snow: The Arlberg offers a wide range of untraced slopes for freeriding.
From March, the local slopes are also just right for anyone who loves firn and sun skiing. When the sun is shining, you can feel the firn snow gripping and literally carrying you down into the valley.

Not every day begins on skis. Sometimes, the path simply leads outside.
Away from the slopes, winter reveals itself more quietly. Trails begin right in front of the house, leading through the snow-covered landscape — on foot, with snowshoes or on skates. Step by step across wide open spaces, downhill on a toboggan or by horse-drawn sleigh through the still mountain world. Even on the ice, new forms of movement emerge.
In this way, winter unfolds in its own rhythm — calm, expansive and close at the same time.
After a day on the slopes, the focus shifts back to the house. Skis are set aside, voices grow livelier and the sun terrace begins to fill. Glasses are raised, music drifts through the air and the scent of the mountain grill carries across.
Some linger outside in the sun, others move inside to the bar. Between a relaxed stop, an apéritif and fine dining, the ski day comes to a lively close.
