THE LONGEST CONTINUOUS SKI CIRCUIT IN THE ALPS

RUN of FAME

Glide kilometer after kilometer through the Ski Arlberg resort, following the footsteps of ski pioneers, ski stars and film icons: the RUN of FAME makes it possible.

Relive Skiing History

The RUN of FAME is far more than a ski circuit. It’s an inspiring journey through Austria’s largest ski resort. Three passes, 85 kilometres, 18,000 vertical metres and countless magical moments await as you follow the trails of Arlberg’s ski pioneers, stars and cinematic legends.

At the heart of the RUN of FAME lies the HALL of FAME, where skiing history comes alive. One highlight is an interactive pursuit called the HUNT of FAME.

In the footsteps of unforgettable legends

RUN of FAME

The RUN of FAME pays homage to those personalities who made history in the Arlberg region. It connects the past and present in an impressive ski circuit.

It opens up a skiing dimension that is second to none: panoramas that move you. Snowy landscapes that inspire you. And slopes that offer plenty of freedom of movement. The fascinating thing about it is that you move around exclusively on skis – with cable cars and lifts, without any bus connections.
