The Cradle of Alpine Skiing
Today, people all over the world ski, from Canada to Australia to Japan— but the modern history of the sport has humbler beginnings.
Oldest Alpine Ski-Club
First Purpose-Built Ski Resort in the World
Ski School Founded in 1906
The first ski lessons took place on these slopes over 100 years ago. Certainly times have changed and so has the sport, but the terrain you ski on today is the same one that inspired those early pioneers to spread the word about alpine skiing to the United States and Japan. When the Ski Club Arlberg was founded in 1901, a handful of instructors couldn’t have imagined that people would one day fly across the world to experience for themselves the idea that united them.
This rich tradition of excellent ski guiding is one of the things that makes Zürs a truly unique place to ski.
