<strong>Doppelmayr</strong> built the first ski lift in Zürs in 1937. Now, almost<br />
80 years later, that ski destination is part of a ski area link-up that<br />
heralded a new era at the start of the 2016 season. No less than<br />
four new ropeway installations have made Ski Arlberg Austria's biggest<br />
ski area, with 305 kilometers of trails and 87 lifts. They enable<br />
guests to reach every resort in the Arlberg ski area quickly, simply<br />
and comfortably. Whether heading for St. Anton, St. Christoph,<br />
Stuben, Zürs, Lech, Oberlech or Schröcken and Warth - guests<br />
board the nearest lift and have the entire mountain lift infrastructure<br />
open to them. From Zürs, the Trittkopf lift I goes to the new intermediate<br />
station; from there, it is possible to ride either to the new<br />
top station of the Trittkopf lift II or to take the new Flexen lift on to<br />
Alpe Rauz in Stuben. Here, the new Albona lift II is available for<br />
those wishing to travel further. Also new and part of the ski area<br />
link-up is the Rauz surface lift to the bottom station of the Flexen lift<br />
as well as the practice slope lift at the bottom station of the Trittkopf<br />
lift, which was completed back in winter 2015.<br />
Stuben<br />
Now doubled in size, the Arlberg ski area will offer visitors even<br />
greater comfort than before. The new lifts are a key part of the sustainable<br />
transport concept for the Arlberg: Every day, the Flexen lift,<br />
for example, replaces 120 bus trips.
