<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.
