Vorarlberg is a state of Austria. Border between Liechtenstein and very close to Lindau in Germany and on the other turn is Switzerland.

Vorarlberg Austria's mountains are not too high which makes it perfect for people who are just starting out.

The slopes are very long and wide, there are more than 1000 kilometers of ski trails, and there are varieties of terrain that provide challenges for any level skier.

In addition, Austria is a beautiful country with plenty of places to eat and take shelter from the cold weather as there are multiple resorts that offer any type of accommodations from budget to luxury.

Having to live in Vorarlberg, I happen to check many places to ski as my husband and I ski and rodel (slides) often during winter.

There are 5 locations I can recommend for the best place to Ski in Austria and I will name them one by one below.

1. LECH

Lech Ski Area

Lech is a small town in Austria that is famous for skiing. The ski slopes of Lech are some of the most well-known in the world and it attracts thousands of people every year who love to ski and love to watch skiing competitions.

Lech is a popular destination for people interested in winter sports and they come from all around the globe to train.

Whether you're an experienced skier or just looking to try something new, Lech has something for everyone.

Lech is one of the most popular ski destinations in the world because of its amazing skiing and pristine natural beauty. The slopes are well-groomed and there are many long, challenging runs.

Furthermore, there are plenty of opportunities for beginners as well due to the variety of trails that exist for different skill levels.

Lech is also home to a wide variety of bars, restaurants, and hotels that cater to a diverse audience.

2. Warth

The Warth ski resorts are a popular destination for winter enthusiasts because of their huge selection of trails and the variety of terrain they offer.

The Warth ski resorts consist of few mountains, these mountains offer a wide range of trails, with some tailored to more experienced skiers while others cater to beginners and families.

3. MONTAFON

Silvretta

Montafon is a 39 km long valley in the westernmost Austrian federal state of Vorarlberg.

It is traversed by the river Ill and extends from the city of Bludenz and the Verwall Alps in the north to the Silvretta and Rätikon mountain range in the south.

Montafon is one of the many popular skiing area. Abundance of skiing resorts. Hotels and restaurants. Unlike Lech, this area is not that expensive. Many nieghbouring country like Germany and Switzerland comes here for great deals.

4. BRANDT

Not to forger the locals around Vorarlberg. I like to ski in the area called Brandt. I have been many times in Brandt as this area is not that scary on the downhill.

5. GERGELLEN

The Gergellen Skiing Resort in Austria is one of the most popular winter destinations for Europeans. Situated on the pistes of the Kaiser mountains, it offers some of the best skiing in Austria.

A ski resort with a difference, it has two different graded slopes which are all accessible to beginners, making this resort less intimidating for first timers.

What I like Gergellen is somehow quiet and there are plenty of lifts available.

Wrapping up

Below image shows you lists of areas that you can ski here in Austria mainly state of Vorarlberg.

With all skiing area I have mentioned, these were the places I have experienced so far. It is accessible via Zurich international airport. I am most of the time coming from Singapore when I go back to Vorarlberg and I fly with many airlines like Singapore air and Turkish Airlines.

There are trains that comes from neighbouring countries as well. The train stations somehow popular.

Most of all, best is you can rent a car from the airport and enjoy the scenery as your drive towards those places I mentioned. Having a car is the most comfortable way to get to those locations.

If you love skiing, come along with your family and friends to Austria.

With all of these benefits combined, Austria is hands down the best country to ski!

Thank you for reading and I welcome you to Austria in Vorarlberg.
