Freeriding & off-piste

The Sporthotel Steffisalp**** in Warth is the best starting point for unforgettable freeriding adventures on the Arlberg. Following in the footsteps of a pioneer of skiing, Pastor Johann Müller, you can enjoy countless freeriding descents in a variety of difficulty levels in one of the world’s greatest skiing regions. Have one of the most highly qualified ski guides in Warth-Schröcken show you the most beautiful tours on the Arlberg!

To make sure that you are prepared for all situations, there is a state-of-the-art LVS Trainingcenter for avalanche preparedness, very close to the Sporthotel Steffisalp****. Under the professional instruction of the ski and mountain guides at the ski and snowboarding schools in Warth and Schröcken, you can learn how to properly use an avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel.
