Heliskiing – A Deep-Snow Adventure from the Air
The Arlberg is the only ski region in all of Austria where heliskiing is even possible. You’ll take off from Lech or Zürs in a helicopter operated by Wucher and fly up to the Mehlsack or the Schneetäli. For safety reasons, you may only embark on a heliskiing descent in deep snow when accompanied by a trained ski and mountain guide and under favorable weather conditions. If all conditions are met, you’ll experience kilometers of deep-snow fun and uniquely beautiful panoramic views on your heliskiing adventure on the Arlberg. Since heliskiing places high demands on skill and physical fitness, this activity is reserved for experienced skiers only.
Tip: Book your heliskiing trip conveniently at the Hotel Auriga reception desk!
Freeriding from Mehlsack and Schneetäli
From Lech or Zürs, you’ll take a helicopter up to the Mehlsack, where you’ll land at 2,685 meters above sea level. Once at the top, an impressive descent covering 1,100 meters in elevation awaits you. The descent from the Mehlsack is recommended only for experienced skiers. An alternative route leads up to the Schneetäli. From 2,500 meters, the run descends 1,000 meters in elevation. This route is also suitable for skiers who are less physically fit. No heliskiing flights are operated on weekends or holidays.
