Winter in the Arlberg Region of Austria

For over 20 years I have been coaching and guiding in my home mountain region of the Arlberg in Austria.  It is this experience, that I bring into my coaching and guiding throughout the Winter.

I have an in-depth knowledge of the Arlberg ski area, in-fact I was brought up in the mountain village of St.Christoph.  So whether you are looking to improve your technique or leave your signature in the powder snow, I will find the right slope, trail, track in the best conditions so that you can work and improve your technique while enjoying some great company in some unbelievable mountain scenery.

Off-piste skiing in St.Anton am Arlberg, Austria

Ski Arlberg

As one of the top 5 ski resorts in the world, it has a reputation for great snow conditions with stunning mountain backdrops and vistas!

Pistes - With over 300 kilometres of piste skiing, it is Austria’s largest ski resort.  However, it is not all crowds and queues!  The lifts are modern and fast and my local knowledge means we avoid the crowds focusing on skiing or snowboarding well prepared pistes, giving you the perfect conditions to enjoy your turns and take in the stunning mountain scenery that the Arlberg offers!

Back country -  the Arlberg is powder paradise.  It has the reputation of Europe’s best off-piste area with great snow conditions, stunning backdrops and plenty of space to leave your mark - until the next snowfall arrives!  Whether you want to drop in from the lifts or earn your turns by skinning or hiking up, I will make your time with me in my home mountains a memorable one!
