The Arlberg Trail

The Arlberg Trail

The well signposted circular hiking trail comprises a total length of 50 kilometres, almost a fifth of which is covered by cable car. In total, it takes around 18 hours to hike the route, which encompasses 6,038 metres in elevation difference by foot. Ideally, you start from St. Anton, Lech or Stuben in a clockwise direction, so that the routes and cable car rides coordinate perfectly. Walking individual stages, or easier variants are also possible.

A closed connection

The transnational long-distance hiking trail combines a sporty alpine challenge with first-class comfort. In 3 stages and over 50 kilometres, long-distance hikers experience the Arlberg and its five villages of Lech, Zürs, Stuben, St. Christoph and St. Anton with their respective characters up close, intensively and at a slower pace. It is no coincidence that the Arlberg Trail, unlike many multi-day hiking tours, forms a loop. A loop that connects and brings the Arlberg even closer together.
