The 10 most beautiful ski runs on the Bludenz District

Past the Star Wars ventilation tower
Backcountry Skiing · The Verwall Alps
Stuben - Star Wars
Toprecommended route Difficulty moderate
1
3 km
0:30 h
12 m
702 m
Anyone who has done the run knows where the name comes from. A relatively easy variant that leads down northwest of the Knödelkopf, past the futuristic ventilation tunnel and further over lightly hilly terrain to Alpe Rauz.

Entry into the variant
Backcountry Skiing · The Verwall Alps
Stuben - Gaisleger
Toprecommended route Difficulty moderate
3.8 km
1:15 h
2 m
985 m
Wonderful variant in very spacious terrain, also suitable for weaker skiers. However, the steep, often heavily tracked descent towards Stuben is often unpleasant.

Best conditions at the Fürmelesmähdern
Backcountry Skiing · Lechquellen Mountains
Warth - Fürmesle
Toprecommended route Difficulty moderate
4 km
1:00 h
0 m
656 m
A long descent variant, although not particularly steep, which in the past you could ski from Lech to Warth. Due to the merger of the two ski areas, this variant has become somewhat more popular, as you can get back to the starting point very quickly.

Great descent into the basin
Backcountry Skiing · Lechquellen Mountains
Lech - Abendweide
Toprecommended route Difficulty moderate
3.4 km
0:45 h
0 m
484 m
An easy variant that can also be skied well under more challenging conditions. The terrain is not very demanding. With skillful track choice, you can still find good powder even in stronger sunshine.

Lech - Großes Stierloch
Toprecommended route Difficulty moderate
6.3 km

St. Anton - Valluga West variant
Toprecommended route Difficulty difficult
5.7 km
1:15 h

A rather rarely used variant of the Valluga with a challenging approach via the ridge. In return, you are rewarded with a uniform north-facing slope.

Backcountry Skiing · Lechquellen Mountains
Zürs - Flexenmähder
Toprecommended route Difficulty moderate

Very nice variant with a long traverse at the start. In the middle there is a steep narrow section that can be somewhat uncomfortable with long skis. After that, it goes into moderate terrain down to ski slope no. 10 and further to Zürs.

Freerideabfahrt Klimm - vom Zuger Hochlicht nach Schröcken by Markus
February 16, 2025 · Community
Wir sind die Tour schon mehrmals gefahren - immer wieder ein Genuss. Aber - im mittleren Teil sollte man wissen wo abgebogen wird und im Rinnenbereich kann’s auch mal gefährlich werden. Sachkunde setz ich hier voraus!
