Warth-Schroecken Ski Resort

Warth-Schröcken is one of three main ski areas in Bregenzerwald offering snow sure family skiing, good possibilities off-piste and an excellent choice of competitively priced accommodation to suit all budgets including many good hotels.

Situated 10km apart, either side of the ski area, Warth and Schröcken are pretty alpine villages with a good snow record (average snowfall 11m per season). The 66k Warth-Schröcken ski area is on the border of the Arlberg and although not connected by lift system it is possible to ski off-piste to and from Lech.

Warth-Schröcken’s has an efficient high speed lift system and good facilities for beginners and children close to the main lift stations. The ski terrain is best for beginners and advanced skiers interested in skiing off-piste, and while there’s not a huge amount of red run skiing, what’s on offer is good and there’s more nearby at Diedamskopf nearby and Daműls.

There’s lots of good value family friendly accommodation from budget self-catering apartments to luxury 4-star hotels and good quality 3-star hotels in between, and it’s typically cheaper than comparable accommodation in better known Austrian ski resorts.

Apres ski is a low key affair Warth and Schröcken are small ski villages so there’s not a great deal to do in winter besides skiing and other wintersports including winter walking, cross-country skiing, dog sledding, snow shoeing and tobogganing.

Getting to Warth-Schröcken is easy. It takes around 2 hours (give or take 20 minutes) from Friedrichshafen or Zurich airports.
