Selected alternatives for you
    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.

    The Flexenmähder have a slightly longer traverse at the beginning but reward with wide and beautiful slopes afterwards. Only the short middle section is very narrow and steep and somewhat uncomfortable with longer skis and little snow. Without climbing, you can enjoy very nice turns on this variant and, with skillful terrain choice, certainly still find some loose snow even several days after snowfall.

    Author’s recommendation

    A good descent for the morning hours. Since you come out directly at the Trittkopfbahn, you should plan your day so that you do a variant in this area afterwards.

    Safety information

    Critically consider the south-facing traverse over the course of the day, as wet loose snow avalanches occur, and later in the season, wet snow slides occur more frequently.

    Tips and suggestions

    Arlberg ski area info

    Roadbook

    From the exit of the Muggengratbahn, follow ski slope no. 10 "Muggengrat Täli" for about 50m and then enter the steep slope, which after about 100 vertical meters leads directly to the traverse. Then follow the south-facing traverse as long as it continues until it gently drops to the right about 50m before the weather station.

    Here you enter a shallow bowl, which quickly becomes very narrow and steep. Immediately after, you reach the Flexenmähder with their generous downhill options. Terrain traps are clearly visible and you have the possibility to freely choose your line.

    The end point is definitely ski slope no. 10, which then leads back to Zürs.
