IT’S ALL ABOUT SNOW! SINCE 1921.
Since photos were in black and white, people have been making fresh trails in the Arlberg snow: Hannes Schneider, the most famous ski pioneer in the world, founded the Ski School Arlberg MEETS THE PRESENT in 1921. Since then much has changed. The technique. The material. The outfits. But one thing has not: our passion for snow sport shines as strong as ever. As a modern service provider for skiing, snow- boarding and cross-country skiing we not only offer courses and training, but excitement in the snow - both on and off the slopes. With almost 380 locally and inter- nationally qualified snow sport instructors, the Ski School Arlberg is the largest in Austria. Welcome to the Ski School Arlberg.
Yours, Richard Walter Head of the Ski School Arlberg
