The Warth-Schröcken ski area is part of the Ski Arlberg network and is considered one of the most snow-sure regions for freeriding in the Alps. Thanks to the high snowfall, varied slopes, and extensive deep snow fields, experienced freeriders will find ideal conditions here.

Numerous variants lead through untouched powder slopes, steep gullies, and open slopes with spectacular mountain panoramas.
