SnowflakesPanoramaTrail Rüfikopf On miracles and extraordinary people There’s no need to go searching for miracles – you’re surrounded by them! Snow is simply miraculous: billions of snow crystals merge to form flakes that float down gently like leaves and cover every thing in a bright white blanket. Snow is very powerful in the Arlberg region: it shapes the people here, sets the pace and creates living conditions. Snow challenges people, it makes them fight. Snow is also an ally: it casts a spell over the landscape, makes it seem weightless and graces it with beauty. The staged winter hiking trail starts directly at the mountain station of the Rüfikopfbahn 1 and stretches across the sunny plateau on the Rüfikopf. At the most diverse stations along the circular trail, you will get closer to the fascinating element of "snow" with interesting & impressive information. In addition, the winter hiking trail presents personalities from the Arlberg who transform adverse conditions into highly emotional winter experiences. And that’s no miracle, but a success story that has been seen time and again here on the Arlberg ...
