Ski area Warth-Schröcken
Blue pistes for beginners are to be found just below the Karhorn lift, at the family run of the Saloberkopf or at the Jägeralp-Express. The little ones can get to know the sport in Pauli's Kinderland. For families, there is even a separate fun-slope on offer. Small obstacles, waves, kickers and boxes, as well as a cross-parcours are open for practising.
Experienced skiers and boarder will feel more at home on the mogul ski routes, which can also be quite steep and are located just below the Saloberjet and the Jägeralp-Express. Freeride fans will value the terrain at the Wannenkopg or at the Gamsloch-Karhorn lift. The variation routes between Salober and Jägeralpe are a real challenge. The ski area as a whole is also known for its many ski touring possibilities.
The lift pass 3 Täler Pass is not only valid Warth-Schröcken, but offers access to a total of over 360 km of pistes in 31 ski areas of the Bregenzerwald, in the Große Walsertal and in the Tyrolean Lechtal, Rheintal, Klostertal and Laternsertal!

Alternatively you can take the 10-person gondola "Auenfeldjet" to the Lech Zürs ski area (s. ski region).
Après ski Warth-Schröcken
Sporting activities do not stop once you are off the pistes. At the toboggan run "Von der Höhi", a tractor pulls you up the mountain twice per week. Those who are a little more daring should try out the flying box runs: ropeways that let you fly trough the air for 500 m, passing the border between Vorarlberg and Tyrol. Trial courses in ice climbing are also on offer. For a more relaxed way to spend your afternoon, there a total of 20 km winter hiking trails, or snow shoe hikes at Hochtannbergpass which connects the two villages of Warth and Schröcken. A guided evening trail is a romantic alternative.
Snowpark Warth-Schröcken: Snowpark
There is no snow park in the Warth-Schröcken ski area itself. However, since the 2012/13 ski season, the Funslope Steffisalp has been offering fun on two lines for all ages. The numerous waves, steep turns, fun boxes and a mighty snail provide plenty of variety. Another fast-paced highlight is the Skimovie run at the Wannenkopf chairlift.
With the purchase of a discounted exchange day ticket for the "Ski Arlberg" ski region, you also have the chance to explore the Snowpark Lech. With the Snowpark Lech, Lech Zürs am Arlberg offers a fun park for all skill levels. Located right next to the Schlegelkopf chairlift at an altitude of 1,600 metres, the park provides ideal conditions for snowboarders and freestylers. Beginners, advanced and pros will find good conditions to hone their tricks. The 3.6-hectare area offers around 20 obstacles in an easy, rail and pro line. The Snowpark Lech crew ensures that the obstacles are in the ideal shape every day. The park's varied offer consists of three rails, seven boxes (including a 9 metre double kinked box), a wallride, various kickers and a kicker bank. With ten elements, the advanced run is the most varied. As a bonus, it even includes a marvellous view of Lech.
