La Loupe St. Anton, St. Christoph & Stuben am Arlberg No. 4
Die traditionsreichsten und mondänsten Wintersportorte der Welt vereinen sich zum Mythos Arlberg. Und die Wiege des alpinen Skilaufs begeistert genauso im Sommer. Nun wollen auch wir ab dieser neuen Ausgabe von LA LOUPE nicht trennen, was der Arlberg ohnehin verbindet: Tirol und Vorarlberg. Also erweitern wir den Radius unserer „Lupe“ auf St. Anton, St. Christoph und Stuben. Aus gutem Grund: Genusskultur vom Feinsten, Gastlichkeit auf höchstem Niveau, dörflicher und doch weltoffener Charakter, die unbeschreibliche Schönheit der Arl-Bergwelt sowie die Vielfalt der Möglichkeiten einen alle drei Orte. Unternehmen Sie mit uns eine Reise hinter die Kulissen und finden Sie, was Sie sonst lange suchen würden… www.laloupe.com

“Compared to other<br />
winter sports destinations<br />
the village<br />
has grown very slowly.<br />
Maybe that’s why<br />
everyone here still is<br />
so down to earth.”<br />

L.L. What opportunities do <strong>St</strong>uben’s mountains offer the<br />
skiers?<br />
R.P. Albona, our local mountain, is 2,400 m high, <strong>St</strong>uben lies<br />
at 1,400 m above sea level. That means a total of 1,000 altitude<br />
metres of treeless skiing area. The lifts can be reached on foot in<br />
two minutes from all our accommodation businesses. Albona is<br />
particularly popular in the freerider scene. Of course f<strong>am</strong>ilies will<br />
find everything they need here, too, but for the most part the offer<br />
is used by good skiers. <strong>St</strong>uben is the western door to the <strong>Arlberg</strong>. As<br />
a result we have lots of fine powder snow. On Albona the northern<br />
slope is used for skiing. Which means that there is little sun until<br />
March and we have the perfect firn slopes in spring. As a result<br />
many skiing instructors from Lech and <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anton</strong> like to organise<br />
skiing their courses here in spring.<br />
L.L. <strong>St</strong>uben invests a lot in new infrastructure. Would you<br />
give us a few ex<strong>am</strong>ples?<br />
R.P. Well the reason for the many simultaneous construction<br />
projects are the new lifts that we are going to build in the near<br />
future. Next summer a new cable car from Alpe Rauz, which is<br />
part of <strong>St</strong>uben’s local area, to Zürs will be built; as a result the<br />
transport of guests between the skiing areas of Lech Zürs and<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anton</strong> / <strong>St</strong>uben will finally be a thing of the past. Many of the<br />
local businesses are currently seeing a change in generations. The<br />
young people are courageous and they dare to invest a lot in order<br />
to survive on the market. With the many investments that are<br />
being made in the development of the infrastructure, are lot of<br />
things are going to change. But changes don’t have to be negative.<br />
Nature limits the development of capacities. We currently have<br />
around 800 beds and more than 1,000 are simply not possible.<br />
L.L. Do you have further visions for the future of <strong>St</strong>uben?<br />
R.P. There need to be more alternatives to skiing. Which is why<br />
I’d really plead for the renovation of Albona 1, the lift that takes<br />
you from <strong>St</strong>uben up to a beautiful plateau where it’s possible to<br />
offer modern cross country skiing tracks and winter hiking paths.
