Stuben am Arlberg Ski Lifts & Lift Passes
Stuben’s ski lifts run from late November until early May. The Arlberg ski lift ticket covers all ski lifts in St Anton, St Christoph, Stuben, Lech-Zurs and Sonnenkopf, which is a separate ski area above Klösterle, 5km to the west of Stuben. There are also cheaper ‘pay as you go’ passes for beginners who just want to use Stuben’s nursery slopes.Stuben Ski Lifts
Ski lifts throughout the Arlberg are almost invariably modern, high- speed and efficient except for a few older lifts, one of which is the Albona I chairlift which goes up the first half of the north face of the Albona from Stuben. Nonetheless, with fewer people around, only rarely do you have to queue and it’s only a short walk from almost any accommodation in Stuben. It may be slower than almost any other lift in the Arlberg and unprotected from the elements, but the scenery is good and you get time to study the lines on mountain which is useful. In cold weather, there are blankets available to keep you warm on the way up. Look out for them on the rail as you approach the chair lift.
Stuben Ski Lift Passes
The full Arlberg ski lift pass covers over 80 ski lifts, 8 of which are in Stuben including the lifts at Alpe Rauz, the 2 drag lifts on baby slopes for first time beginners, the 2 chairlifts on either side of the Albona and a tiny T bar at Alpe Rauz leading to the 6-person Valfagehr chair.
Special 30-point lift passes are available for novices using the nursery slopes in Stuben. The ski lift ticket office is at the bottom of the road that runs through the village, near the Hotel Apres Post and the Tourist Office.
