A moment of freedom

A ski tour at Mt Arlberg is pure winter magic – each step through the glittering snow makes your heart beat faster for the wild beauty of the Alps. After a day of adventure, return to Arpuria, where warmth and culinary delights await, rounding off a day filled with freedom and comfort.

St. Anton am Arlberg, early morning The air is crisp and cold, the snow sparkling like thousands of tiny crystals in the first light of the day. You’re ready, skis on, gazing at the surrounding mountain peaks. From Arpuria, your hidden luxury mountain home, you embark on your journey to the birthplace of Alpine skiing – Mt Arlberg. Your guide raises a hand, greets the group with a friendly smile and a warm good morning. Everyone nods, and off you go. A hushed silence falls over the group, only the gentle crunch of snow beneath your skis breaking the stillness.

The ascent is steady, the tracks weaving through the untouched snow like a delicate thread through the white expanse. Turn by turn, you venture deeper into the mountains, far from the noise and bustle. The landscape slowly transforms – first winding through snow-covered forests, then opening up to breathtaking vistas of gentle valleys and towering Alpine peaks. Every stride, every breath draws you closer to your destination, into a world where tranquillity and adventure unite.

By midday, it’s time for a break. Thermos flasks are opened, and hot tea steams in the cold air, as eyes drift across the stunning panorama. Here, between sky and earth, the feeling of freedom is hard to put into words – it must be experienced.

Back at the Arpuria, a soothing contrast awaits. The warm waters of the Aria Spa, the exquisite cuisine at the Pura Restaurant – everything seems to echo the experiences of the great outdoors. The day ends in pure relaxation. Mt Arlberg, with its stillness and strength, leaves a deep impression – a memory that lingers long after.
