Where skiing made history. Arlberg is the birthplace of modern skiing. This is where skiing was organised, perfected and celebrated – long before winter sports became a lifestyle worldwide. Founded in 1901, Ski Club Arlberg is one of the oldest and most legendary ski clubs in the world. And the Edelweiss? It was always right in the middle of it all. In Zürs, right at Arlberg, Ski Club Arlberg is as much a part of winter as powder snow and those first turns in the morning.
For generations, the Edelweiss has been a meeting place for members, a host for conversations about the perfect turn, and sometimes the setting for legendary evenings after a day on the slopes.
Arlberg is the birthplace of alpine skiing. This is where the sport wasn’t just practised, but invented, discussed and developed further.
Founded in 1901, Ski Club Arlberg is one of the oldest and most renowned ski clubs in the world. Its members come from over 50 nations – united by a shared passion: the perfect turn in the snow.
The process is surprisingly simple. Breakfast at the Edelweiss. Pick up your skis from the depot. A few steps towards the lift. And you’re already heading up into the vast white world of the Arlberg.
Whether it’s the White Ring, the Run of Fame, or simply a perfect day on the wide slopes around Zürs and Lech – everything is accessible from here.

Put on your ski boots, take a few steps through the snow, and you’re already heading up into the great white world of the Arlberg. From there, more than 300 kilometres of pistes open up—from wide carving slopes to the legendary deep-powder routes.
