Skiing in the snowiest part of the Alps
Warth-Schrocken overview
Located at just under 1500m Warth is the highest ski holiday resort in the Bregenzerwald ski region and together with Schrocken it forms the Warth-Schrocken ski region. The Warth-Schrocken ski area gets more snow than any other ski area in the Alps – this really is the snow capital of the Alps.
The skiing on-piste is good for beginners and intermediates but the off-piste is where the better skiers and snowboarders head given the huge quantities of snow.
