Warth and Schröcken, two Walser mountain villages in Vorarlberg, are original, conscious of tradition, and shaped by the settlement of the Walser people from the Swiss canton of Valais.
The houses were built in typical Vorarlberg architecture and blend neatly into the landscape. The shingled house facades create a pleasantly warm atmosphere and make the villages particularly romantic and cozy, especially in winter.
Thanks to their altitude of 1,200 to 1,500 meters and higher, the villages and thus also the Warth-Schröcken ski area are blessed with abundant snowfall, which has led the two villages to become an important tourism region in the Arlberg area. Warth-Schröcken is therefore considered the snowiest ski area in Europe!
Likelihood of triggering
Triggering is likely, even from low additional loads, on many steep slopes (steeper than 30 degrees). In some cases, numerous large and often very large natural avalanches can be expected.
