Warth-Schroecken sits on the northern side of the Arlberg, recording the highest annual snowfall of any resort in the Alps at 8-10 meters. The two small Walser settlement villages are connected to Lech and Zuers via the Auenfeldjet gondola, completing the Ski Arlberg circuit. Accommodation is limited and unpretentious. There is no resort nightlife. Getting here requires a car from Bregenz (about 60 minutes via the Bregenzerwaldstrasse); no railway serves the upper valley. For skiers who prioritize conditions above everything else and want to access the Ski Arlberg circuit from its snowiest entry point, Warth-Schroecken is the choice. Book early; it fills quickly among those who know it.
