01 — Read · The range

The range

Tiny, old-world Stuben punches far above its size — the Albona is a north-facing powder magnet that holds cold snow long after everyone else is tracked out.

Two old chairlifts access some of the best sustained powder on the Arlberg. It's quiet, steep and serious — a local's secret more than a resort. (Placeholder copy.)

From the top you can drop north-facing lines back to Stuben or tour out to bigger objectives. Cold aspects mean the snow stays good, but the terrain demands respect.

Rauz backcountry

Sheltered links towards St. Christoph for storm days.

Various~600 mIntermediate +

Snowpack, honestly. North-facing and cold, the Albona holds snow well — but that same steepness makes slab management the priority. (Replace with your real avalanche notes.)
