Some 100 years ago, the audacious inhabitants of Vorarlberg discovered the art of skiing. Today, Vorarlberg is
among the premier winter sports destinations in the Alps. Beginners as well as proficient skiers value the high-end
ski resorts of Lech and Zürs am Arlberg, the wide-stretching Montafon ski region, the family-friendly ski areas in
the Brandnertal and the Sonnenkopf in the Klostertal, the two-nation Kleinwalsertal ski area, the casual and laid
back Bregenzerwald, the Grosses Walsertal biosphere park and the sun-drenched slopes in the Rhine valley.
