Funfacts
Holidays in the Arlberg region – ever heard of the “Arlberg effect”?
Alright, now let’s get into some theory because the “Arlberg Effect” holds two meanings in the skiing world:
Firstly, it’s a fascinating meteorological phenomenon in the Alps. Moist air from Lake Constance rises against the Arlberg Mountains, cools down, and brings heavy snowfall – especially on the northern side of the range. This makes the Arlberg a snow-sure paradise for winter sports enthusiasts and provides perfect conditions for skiing and snowboarding. Pretty cool, right?
But it’s also a term well-known among freeriders. When freeriding in the Arlberg area, the “Arlberg Effect” influences the quality of the snow. The frequent riding of the slopes can alter the snow surface and provide more stability. However, it’s not a guarantee of safe avalanche conditions. Always pay attention to avalanche danger and terrain conditions; local knowledge and snow awareness are crucial. Enjoy the adventure, but always be cautious.
