About this trip: HISC was born in 1956 and in 1962 we made our first trip to the Mondschein in Stuben—our longest running trip. HISC Past President Barry Swanson has been TCing us there for more than 35 years. This hotel has great food, a pool, sauna, solarium, and a terrific bar and is less than a two minute walk from the slopes. The Arlberg is comprised of Stuben, St. Christoph, Lech, Zürs, and St. Anton and the whole area is covered by one ski pass. This resort has something for every type of skier, from the beginner to the advanced. A wonderful ski area only about four hour drive from Heidelberg.
This is a U-drive trip – but only about four-hours from Heidelberg. Less than a two minute walk from the hotel to the slopes and one of Austria’s greatest regions will be under your skis. The Arlberg is comprised of Stuben, St. Christoph, Lech, Zürs, and St. Anton and the whole area is covered by one ski pass. Since this is a U-drive you have the option of leaving on Thursday and getting 3 ski-days.
Additional info on this ski region can be found by accessing the website www.skiarlberg.at. NOTE: This is a U-Drive trip.
