The Arlberg Ski Area is famous around the world as a destination for serious skiers, and Lech is a key part of it. One of the few ski regions in the world to measure its unprepared trails as well as those mechanically groomed, the Arlberg claims 180km (113 miles) of ungroomed powder slopes on top of the 280km (181 miles) of prepared trails. This breathtaking expanse is currently not quite lift-linked with St Anton, venue for the 2001 Alpine world Championships, Stuben and St Christoph taking up one half and Lech and Zürs the other. A free ski bus for lift pass holders links the two, and a single pass covers all 85 lifts across both areas. Lift passes are available to overnight guests at a reduced rate (The 'Arlberg Special' ) and the number of skiers on for Lech and Zürs is strictly limited so that when capacity is reached, no more day tickets are sold. The first decision of the morning is whether to warm up on the Mohnenfluh and test the Steinmähder, Hasensprung, Rotschrofen and Weibermahd slopes or to head straight off on to the tough pistes on the Rüfikopf. Beginners at least have the simple choice of the gentle nursery slopes near to the hotels. Experts have a vast selection of off piste trails with guided touring, off piste and heli-skiing also available. The Arlberg Card, a high-tech ski pass which fits in your pocket, gives the holder automatic access through all turnstiles at the Arlberg's cable car and lift stations. The Arlberg Ski Club, established in 1901 and today one of the world's most famous and most successful, has weekly meetings throughout the season. New members are accepted so long as they have visited Arlberg for at least three years and are recommended for membership by a Club member.
