Warth-Schroecken Villages
Warth and Schroecken are small snow sure villages situated approximately 10km apart at either end of the Warth-Schroecken ski area in south eastern Bregenzerwald and bordering the Arlberg.Warth (1494m) is a charming alpine village with around 200 inhabitants and accommodation for up to 1,000 guests. Although Warth is only 10km from Lech, the road between Warth and Lech is always closed in winter because of avalanche risk, but it’s easy to ski between the villages, either on piste or off-piste.
Warth has direct access to the ski area via the 8 seat gondola lift Dorfbahn Warth near the centre of the village. But there are also hotels and other accommodation near the other lift base stations.
Schroecken(1269m), is a similarly small and pretty village with 240 inhabitants and up to 800 guest beds. If staying in Schroecken you will need to drive by car or take a 10 minutes free ski bus ride to the Saloberjet chairlift at the top of the Hochtannbergpass. Look out for the elevated section of road on stilts – a seriously impressive piece of construction engineering!
While Warth offers easier access to the ski area and a better choice of upscale accommodation, an advantage of staying in Schroecken is that you can end each ski day skiing the easy but enjoyable 5km long ski route – the longest run in Warth-Schroecken – from Korbersee down to Schrocken.
Neither village has much to offer in the way of shops or other activities for non-skiers apart from winter walking, tobogganing and just chilling out in pretty alpine surroundings.
There’s a free shuttle bus (Dorfbus) between Warth and Schroecken and a regular bus service (Bregenzerwald Line 40) linking Warth-Schroecken and Au-Schoppernau (20km).
