Run of Fame Ski Circuit
A new ski circuit called the ‘Run of Fame’ will boast 65 skiable kilometres across the entire Arlberg region. It should take the average skier a full day to complete from Warth to St Anton/Rendl and back again. The ‘Run of Fame’ will be pointed out across the skiing run.
The chairman of the Board of Ski Zürs AG, Philipp Zangerl, comments "With perfect piste preparation, outstanding snow reliability, a high number of pistes and deep-snow runs, not to forget the super eating options – the Arlberg is already a special experience for all skiers. The Flexenbahn cableway is the link between all these unique opportunities available at the Arlberg."
