Everyday life seems so very far away in the mountain world around the 1,793 m high Arlberg Pass - where the Austrian provinces of Tyrol and Vorarlberg intersect. Unspoilt nature, invitingly sophisticated villages and a remarkable variety of activities welcome those seeking relaxation and active leisure lovers: hiking, climbing, golfing, great food and drink and amazing experiences.
The mountain villages on the Arlberg are blessed with individual characters, yet celebrate common values. St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben and Lech share a boundless love of sport and nature, an outstanding sense of quality and cosmopolitanism, coupled with deserved pride in their own traditions.
In summer – St. Anton still is a hidden treasure for nature- and sport lovers. When temperatures start to climb, the original mountain village of St. Anton and its surrounding, reveals its multifaceted summer life. The Tyrolean alpine setting and hospitality are the perfect stage for an active holiday with e-biking or hiking,
At the almost 1,800 m high “Schwalbennest - Swallow’s Nest" of St. Christoph, right at the top of the mountain pass, the internationally acclaimed "arlberg1800 Contemporary Art & Concert Hall" cultural centre forms an inspiring contrast to the forces of nature. The exhibitions can be visited by appointment.
The pleasantly romantic mountain village of Stuben on the Vorarlberg side presents itself as an ideal base for hiking, biking, motorcycling, fishing activities and much more. Only a stone’s throw from Stuben, you can indulge in the essential pleasures of rest and relaxation at the idyllic Stubner See’le Lake, whilst savouring the stunning view (with barbeque area, Kneipp pools and barefoot trail).
In summerly Lech, the desire for spiritual stimulation can be combined with holiday comforts in this healthy mountain region. Lech Think and Cultural Summer is just as inspiring as hiking (tip: the Green Ring - a charming three-day circular hike that stimulates the senses. Freeriders and enduro enthusiasts appreciate the undulating "Burgwald Trail Lech”, while culture fans can marvel at the new Skyspace Lech, a “walk-through” piece of art created by renowned light artist, James Turrell. By the by: The unspoiled village of Lech was also recognised with an award from “Entente Florale“.
St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben, Lech: the names of the Arlberg villages have a reputation that extends around the globe - as the birthplace of alpine skiing and first class winter sports destination in the heart of Europe. What not everyone knows, however, is that the Arlberg’s mythical aura also unleashes a very special charm in summer. Forests, alpine meadows, emerald green lakes and mountain streams are sandwiched between the lush, green valleys and jagged rocky ridges. Healing tranquillity embraces hikers, mountain bikers, e-bikers and climbers who venture deep into the Verwall Group and Lechtal Alps, along a myriad of marked paths and routes. What is good to know is that thanks to modern summer cable cars, the Arlberg’s upper echelons can be reached quickly and easily by all holiday guests
