Ski Guide Lech Zürs | Ski Guide St. Anton am Arlberg
The Arlberg is legendary - for its plentiful snowfall in the northern snow jam, its variety of routes and its challenging deep snow slopes. But only those who really know their way around know where the best snow is, which routes are currently feasible and when it's time to make a change.
With a state-certified ski guide in Lech, Zürs or St. Anton am Arlberg, you'll be out and about exactly where it's best that day - safely, efficiently and away from the crowds. Our local guides combine decades of experience with up-to-date expertise on the weather, avalanche situation and terrain. The result: risk-optimised freeride guiding at the highest level.
Ideal for individuals or small groups who want to get the most out of their day off-road - without compromising on safety and quality.
Meeting point: At 08:45 am at the valley station of the cable cars in Lech, Zürs, Stuben or St. Anton. We can also pick you up from your hotel by prior arrangement. After a safety briefing and a discussion of the planned programme, we set off. On the way, we will stop off at one of the cosy huts or restaurants. The freeride day ends between 14:00 and 15:00.
The exact programme for the day depends on the snow, weather and avalanche conditions and the personal requirements of the participants.
