THE VIBE

Stuben, birthplace of ski pioneer Hannes Schneider, is a small village below Albona. Albonabahn I starts in the village. At Alpe Rauz, Albonabahn II serves Albonasattel and the Flexenbahn connects toward Zürs. The north-facing terrain is a draw for experienced skiers, with off-piste routes requiring separate preparation. Eligible Epic access depends on a qualifying stay at a participating property.

Best For

  • ✓Skiers exploring Albona and the linked Arlberg
  • ✓Groups that prefer a small village base
  • ✓Experienced freeriders planning guided outings

Skip If

  • ✗You want nightlife or village buzz -- Stuben is genuinely sleepy
  • ✗You are a beginner -- the local Albona terrain is overwhelmingly steep

EXPLORE THE MOUNTAIN

Use the village gondola for the Albona sector and check the marked route toward Alpe Rauz for links farther afield. The Albona north face is an off-piste objective rather than a single graded run. Arrange a qualified guide, check the avalanche bulletin and carry equipment you know how to use.
