Der Arlberg Trail

A question that answers itself on the Arlberg Trail. Because here it's not about likes at the summit, but about the view that only opens up once you've earned it, step by step. These are exactly the real moments you want to capture and share — not because they're staged, but because they're worth telling.

The second day climbs up into the high-alpine world around the Flexen Pass, where rock juts sharply out of green slopes and the wind sweeps across open ridges. Alpine panoramic paths alternate with sparkling mountain lakes, as the Arlberg shows its rawest, most authentic side. Mountain air, sweeping views, genuine alpine feeling — for Alena and Paula, clearly the day with the most photo stops. Arrival in Lech comes in the golden light of evening, with tired legs and a memory card full to the brim.

The final stage is the most varied of the entire trail. Scenic high-altitude paths, mysterious moorland shrouded in morning mist, and spectacular panoramas — here the mountain worlds of Vorarlberg and Tyrol merge into one last, unforgettable image. At the end of this third day, with dust on their boots and the sun hanging low over the peaks, Alena and Paula carry with them a deep sense of fulfillment.

What makes the Arlberg Trail so special is exactly this combination: intense mountain days without having to give up a warm bed and hearty cuisine. Instead of a hut dormitory, a cozy hotel room awaits in the valley each evening — the perfect balance to demanding summit passages and plenty of elevation gain.

With the Arlberg Trail Ticket, the cable cars also become part of your adventure: one ride per cable car, valid for the entire summer season, for maximum flexibility in planning your tours. And for those who'd rather not worry about a thing, our partner ASI Reisen offers a complete package including luggage transport, accommodation, and 24/7 service — so your mind stays free for what really matters: the landscape, the rhythm of your steps, the moment at the summit.

Arlberg Trail Tips: What You Should Know Before the Tour

The trail can be started from St. Anton, Stuben, or Lech — ideally in a clockwise direction. Before setting out, it's recommended to check current trail closures and keep an eye on the weather forecast, since the Arlberg Trail moves through high-alpine terrain. Even in summer, old snowfields can affect the route.
